Should You Filter Well Water Manganese?

High Well Water Manganese & Removal Systems
What is Manganese?
Manganese is a mineral that naturally occurs in rocks and soil and is a normal constituent of the human diet. It exists in well water as a naturally occurring groundwater mineral, but may also be present due to underground pollution sources.

What are the EPA Contaminant Levels for Manganese?
The Secondary Maximum Contaminant Levels are established by the EPA only as a guideline to help consumers manage undesirable contaminants causing bad taste, staining, or color. The SMCL for Manganese in drinking water is 0.05 mg/L or 0.05 ppm. Some individual states' Departments of Public Health (DPH) may choose to set health advisory standards to ensure protection against potential manganese toxicity after long-term exposure over the course of years. These states will set levels well below any health affect level up to 0.5 mg/L to provide a margin of safety.

What are the problems associated with Manganese above the SMCL?
Manganese is a considered a secondary contaminant (not health threatening) by the United States Environmental Protection Agency that may result in aesthetic or cosmetic problems, such as black staining or metallic taste. There are no federal drinking water health standards for manganese, but certain states will choose to set health advisory standards to protect the nervous system from potential manganese toxicity after years of excessive exposure through drinking water.
