Does it take out iron

It takes all fowl odor and taste out. It does not purify. As far as removing iron if one has to avoid iron due to a blood disorder like hemachramatosis I would check with the manufacturer because it uses coral in its treatment of the water I know it adds minerals. Taste wise the water is very pure tasting. I hope this helps

The iron comes out but it clogs the filters pretty quickly. We have lots of iron in our well water.

No, it does not have steam. The Dritz website says the iron will shut off after 60 minutes but it does not say that on the enclosed instructions and I for one have not tested that statement. If you quilt, sew or do crafts where you might need to press short seams it is handy for keeping at your workstation at home or in class. It's not suitable for anything but small jobs. You would not want to use it for household purposes.

I'm afraid I have not used it for that purpose yet. From what I understand you may need a pump in conjunction with the iron. I cannot imagine it would not work well. It heats up nice and the led light really help you to see what you are doing.

I'm not sure about the iron but the taste is very undesirable. I couldn't get my kids to take it at all.

Of course it does - unless properly seasoned and cared for. Please search "care of ironware" for information. Good luck!

No great little product if you don't haul out the big ironing board. Well worth it!

You don't have to but it is recommended. Using distilled water prevents calcium buildup in the iron.

No it doesn't. This filter is designed to remove sediments and/or taste by purchasing a filter with activated charcoal. For those things it is excellent. To "soften" water and remove iron, you should consult a water treatment specialist. Get a good one with a good reputation. If they don't know what they are doing, you can spend a lot of money with no results.

Yes I can answer that question - because the same thing happened to me. When you are through with your iron be sure to empty the water don't leave it in the iron. Also put water in the iron before turning it on. Both of those situations are described in the handbook.

Iron Out comes in two forms. I used the powder to reduce the iron content in my well water. Iron Out also comes in a liquid spray bottle which is different and I've never used the spray. George

It has a plastic coating over the magnet which will also pickup naturally occurring iron particles. Keep a clean cloth handy.

Water is what you put in the tank. This is the best iron my wife has used in 65 years.

I would say no, anyway, this is not the iron you want. I had nothing but trouble but purchased a Black and Decker iron and LOVE it. Not as expensive and ALOT betters. Does not lead and I am a sewer and use it everyday.

Depending on the source of the stains, Iron Out will help -or not. For instance, perspiration and high iron content in the laundry water both leave stains, but only the iron stains precipitated out of the iron-laden water will be effectively removed. Perspiration is a combination of sweat and body oils and won't be effectively removed unless other cleaning agents are added to the mix. Hope this helps.

no need to empty iron only need to if your water is very hard water if not just top it off

Yes it will, but keep in mind that this is not for continuous use. Do not leave the iron switched on for long time.

I have used my iron regularly and have not had a single problem with it. I would recommend this product as it functions well, the sole plate remains clean, and it is easy to maneuver.
