If you've lived in multiple areas throughout your life, you've had the opportunity to understand how water can taste and even apply itself differently in different areas. It's more than having a peculiar taste because of a different treatment center; local mineral deposits, different treatment chemicals and even the abundance of salt water in coastal cities can stand out in some areas more than others. For some extra care in coastal areas, consider a few treatment and management concepts along with a few things you may not have connected yet.

That Strange Brown Residue

Many city areas have learned to deal with certain strange things that happen because of their water use. Areas with an abundance of iron in the water may notice not only brown staining, but brown buildup and crusting that may be disgusting at first glance.

Although present in many areas in different concentration, coastal areas may notice an exaggerated reaction. Salt water can cause the iron corrosion in water reaction to happen faster than with non-salt water. Coastal areas may have this brown, rusty buildup in higher concentrations, which can become even more creamy or gunky because of the other materials in salt water.

The water may be safe, but if you're preparing food for restaurant consumption or simply want to avoid the coastal water issue, a potable water solution can bring in deliveries of water that can replace your salt water worries. 

It may be for more than just consumption. If you're not from the area and you're using iron or other oxygen-corroded materials, you don't want to introduce local coastal water to the materials at all. Iron kettles, teapots, pots and pans can be ruined in a matter of hours if you don't take painstakingly good care of them with drying as soon as possible.

Rust In A Few Hours? What About Utensils?

Forks, knives and spoons that may claim to be stainless steel or non-rusting may be exposed in your coastal home or business. Stainless steel does have the chance to corrode or give a rusty appearance, but it may take more than a day for this to occur. If your knives are rusting within a day, you may want to contact the manufacturer for a refund or replacement; the utensils may not be stainless steel at all!

This mix-up or scam can happen if you're from an area that doesn't have much of a salt water issue at all. Rust is likely not to happen unless you leave the utensils submerged for days at a time, which could be explained away as neglect when the manufacturer is confronted. With salt water, you could expose false advertisements with ease.

If you want to keep those utensils rust-free and protected, contact a potable water professional to keep a regular supply of water free of coastal influence. Look into water storage tanks in Fort McMurray.
