Hi Mabaya: There is usually a high concentrate of ferric oxide (rust), which can lead to big "red water" problems. Naturally, you will also get ferric nitrate solutions that can lead to major ecological problems also; therefore, look more into (red water problems) for a base that lowers high nitrogen levels that can be applied as a base chemical that will lower these levels. Otherwise, all receiving waters will appear red in color, and this can also cause high algae growth that can lead severe algae blooms, that can go septic or cause very bad odors. If, you are using steel pipe, cathodic protection and flushing lines, at regular intervals, is another helpful solution. Best regards, Timothy Rinard
