Manganese in Your Home’s Water — What to Know
Manganese is a naturally occurring mineral found in Minnesota’s soil and groundwater. At low levels, it’s not harmful — but higher concentrations can cause staining, bad tastes, and problems with your plumbing and appliances.

Remove Manganese from Your Water Supply With Brita Pro
Why Treating Manganese Matters
Even at low levels, manganese can stain your laundry, sinks, tubs, and fixtures with black or brown marks that are tough to clean. Over time, it can build up inside pipes and appliances, leading to clogs and costly repairs. Some people also notice a metallic or bitter taste in drinking water or discolored ice cubes.
Treating manganese means protecting your home’s plumbing, improving water taste and clarity, and saving money on avoidable plumbing issues.

Other Water Issues We Solve
Iron in Water
Does your home’s water have a metallic taste? Is staining occurring in your home’s fixtures and appliances? Too much iron in the water is a common problem. We have the fix for this.
PFAS Forever Chemicals
If your water supply contains PFAS “forever” chemicals, the solution is to include our Brita PRO PFAS Titanium Series filter in your whole-home water treatment system.
Chlorine in Water
Municipal water supplies often include levels of chlorine and chloramine that can affect the taste and quality of your drinking water. We solve this problem with the Brita PRO catalytic carbon water filter.
Particulates in Water
The first stage in your whole-home water filtration system is typically a particulate filter, which removes sediment, a.k.a. dirt. This filter protects all downstream filters, extending system life.
Water Odors
Smelly water coming out of your tap? Not OK! The solution is a Brita PRO whole-home water filtration system, installed and maintained by Northern Plumbing. We fix water problems.
Water Treatment
Even the best water filters need regular care to work properly. Our local water pros provide routine filter checks, cartridge replacements, and full system inspections to keep your water safe and clean year-round. Proper maintenance extends the life of your system and helps you avoid unexpected problems down the road.
