Manganese is one of the most abundant metals in the earth’s surface and soil. It can be found in groundwater and surface water, and is used in various industries.

When you drink water from your tap, you may notice one day that there’s a weird taste coming from it. According to experts, that weird taste might be due to copper as it is possible for copper from mining, farming and manufacturing operations to contaminate the rivers and lakes that provide homes with the water they use for drinking. Apart from that, if you have copper pipes, and your water is acidic, it could eventually corrode and mix with the water that you drink. Luckily, it is possible to remove the mineral from your tap water.
