Sorry, I cannot help you with this. My source water is Las Vegas Valley water which is low iron but very high hardness and sometimes over chlorinated. Works great for both hardness deposit control and chlorine removal. Good luck finding an answer.

Hello, I found out when I called the company, that their filter when "old" builds up a bacteria (that is no harmful but tastes awful) They told me to change the filter more often. However I found that after only a week it would smell bad. To bad, because I love the idea of this filter, but they haven't perfected it... So I went back to Britta filter and no bad tasting water anymore ;)

This item is not really for water use. However, I've used it anyway in the beach, lake and pool. I've seen it rusted a bit after I've used it in the beach. I cleaned it with fresh clean water right away and did it not just once but many times. Rub a bit of baby oil and it is now working just fine with no visibility of rust at all.

It's plastic, so it won't rust. It would be fine for outdoors if not extreme weather. It holds a lot of water so it would need to be kept where the temperature of the water can remain consistent. I hope that helps.

I'm on my second one of these irons and I've never had rust spots. And I have FL tapwater, which is so bad I won't even drink it. I would see about returning it.

Wish I could help, Steve...we are not using it for RO, and I'm not good at identifying metals. But it's starting to show rust a bit...if that helps.

I keep Kombucha and vinegar in it. I've had it for about 4 years. I have NEVER seen rust. I'm very confused as to why anyone else would see rust, but I don't, especially when Vinegar is so acidic and corrosive.

I've had mine in our kitchen sink for at least two months and it's perfect - no rust. Could it be water difference? I'm in Western Washington.

I have had mine for several months and the tip where the water comes out does have some calcium deposits on it but no rust. I don't see it as a problem, but a quick scrub with lime-away and a good rinse should fix it.

We've only had ours a few months now, but so far, not rust. Our bathroom is fairly small AND we live in a high humidity area, so I'm hoping this bodes well. But so far, no rust, and it still looks fantastic.

I apologize for taking so long to answer your question. It's doing quite well actually. I put it in the dishwasher before I used it. It did have some rust on it. However, it was very minimal. I recommend this product - we use it every day.

No rust here either and I've had this for over a year. I've got catchment water and no problems.

I've not had any issues of rust so far. We use it in salt water area and it's held up fine. A quick rinse after each use seems to do the trick.

It is essential that you use only purified bottled water. Anything else leads to "rust:. I would clean out the system by filling the tank with purified water, let it steam out, and then refill and check. You may have to do twice. This should do the trick ...

probably it rusts because there is no such a thing as stainless steel... and in my experience, new wave enviro will not replace it

I don't know about the rust, i don't have that problem, i am on well water and use to get small particles in toilet tank, and had problems with black mold of some kind, since putting (ChemFree Toilet Cleaner) in tank the water is completely clear and no more black gook, and very few particles. I will buy these again, great product.
