Orange Tint in Water Samples
Orange Tint in Water Samples
(OP)
We have well supply system, which treatment currently consists of only disinfection (Chlorine Gas). The water samples have an orange tint in the water in samples taken at the chlornine analyzer.
Any suggestions on organic or inorganic compounds that would cause this orange tint?

Other suggestions? Or elaborate on the current ones, please.

You need to have the samples analyzed twice. The second sample needs to be a filtered sample so that it will help you understand the nature of the contaminant.
Very little information has been provided about the situation.
Are these deep wells or shallow wells?
Have the wells been disinfected?
Do all samples have the color, or just after chlorine?
What are the piping materials?
What chemicals are you feeding?
What is the complete water analysis?
