wy does my well water turn the sink orange?

There are two things that could be happening.\n\nFirst, there's a strong concentration of ferrous material in your well water. This will leave an orange (rust-colored) deposit on the sink as the liquid evaporates. So it actually isn't the "water" making your sink change color. It's just a deposit of another material that's been dissolved or suspended in the liquid.\n\nSecond there's the fact that your sink may already be made of metal, and the constant exposure of the water and air to the bare metal surface (like if you chipped the porcelain) will actually rust the SINK material. In this case, it really is your sink changing color ... the water is just part of the chemical process of oxidation.

It shouldn't. You must have a problem with your plumbing.

this happened to my friend as she cleaned out the cabinets in the kitchen and it would be the best thing to do.\n\nTake the boxes of instant mash potatoes, the powder form, and pour down sinks, (not sure about toilets) and then all the pipes fill with potatoes and it is really hard to get out, it is packed in there so tight as it expands when water is added. it was funny watching them clean it out with a spoon and having a crap load of potatoes everywhere.

no. you just get a big rush of liquid come out of you, and it just keeps coming. I was making puddles all over my house (gross, I know) getting my things together to go to the hospital. oh, and that old wifes tale about it smelling like pickle juice, total bs. smells like nothing, and it is a sighly viscous pink tinged fluid.

Lots of water. Cranberry juice will help too. Basically flush the system.

Anything with iron (supplements, spinach, etc...) will turn it almost black.\n\nHemorrhoids will turn it red (but very painfully so)\n\nAnd if you are daring, try this combinations scientifically tested to change the color of your stools:\n- 1 banana, 2 anchovies and scoth: BLUE\n- 2 sardines, 1 cup of orange juice and oatmeal: BRIGHT ORANGE\n- 1/2 cup of flour, fish oil, 1 small uncooked chicken liver, 5 drops of vanilla extract and whipped cream: FLUORECENT GREEN\n\nI know it sounds incredible, but give a try and let us know how it goes. You'll be shocked!!

The Corolis effect will have no influence on a thing as small as a sink. The direction the water turns depends whether the water has a slight circular motion already due to filling. It also depends on the shape and direction of the drain.\nI live near the equator and I can assure you the water does not go straight down.

It's all the carrots you've been eating.  Your night vision is getting better.  Don't worry if you turn orange, it is a harmless side effect. \n\nHave you seen my nocturnal friend?

The liquid should be clear...litmus paper is white usually...turns pink to red when in an unbalanced PH soulution....Yukoneze

The suds in your bubble bath aren't entirely white. They do have a slight amount of color from the soap, but it's so small it's hard to notice. Actually, all things that create bubbles experience this same phenomenon. Beer, soda, and detergents all produce bubbles that are considerably lighter than the liquid they came from.\n\nBubbles are composed of a thin spherical film. The film is both translucent and reflective so some of the light that is hitting the bubble is absorbed, but most is reflected. The small amount of light that is absorbed gives the color of the bubble, but the majority that is reflected takes the color of light around it which is usually white.\n\nWhen you mix any color with white it gets lighter. Because soaps have only a little dye they are easily diluted. Colas however have a dark caramel color, which is why their bubbles appear tan.\n\nTo alter this you can replace all your light bulbs with green tinted ones and your bubble bath will turn green.

it depends upon the brand you buy but they do turn you a shade of orange, but the more expensive ones like clinique have sprays that make the tone even and more bronze.  my wife uses clinique and it doesn't look bad at all especially before we go to Mexico or the Caribbean.

Are you certain that you have liver damage?  Orange colored urine can be caused by several factors.  Some more serious are hepatitis or jaundice.\n\nhere's a website that explains:  http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/sym/orange_urine.htm

your well could be running low/shallow. Im not sure what area you live in but here in georgia the wells are just about dried up.\nYour housing for the well may need an overhaul or new pump. If you are tapped into a spring you may just need to dig deeper and also you need to find out if your neighbors are getting water supply from the same vein. Had a neighbor once who was on the same vein and we had plenty of water until he grew a 5 acre garden and insisted on watering it every day rain or shine so he dug deeper and hit iron pyrite (spelling) thus rendering the water undrinkable.

Yes.  You can actually (gross I know) douche with the plain kind and  it will definitely help.  It helps to restore the good bacteria in the nether regions.

YOU CAN NOT PURCHASE THE CHEAP STUFF OR IT WILL TURN YOUR SKIN ORANGE. TRY THE MORE EXPENSIVE ONES. THEY DO WORK.
