If you have manganese in your pipes, it’s time to get rid of it. Manganese can cause a variety of problems with your plumbing, including corrosion and clogs. Here are some tips on how to clean manganese from pipes:
- Start by boiling water and adding a teaspoon of baking soda to it. Use this mixture to clean the manganese deposits from the pipe walls. Be sure to use a scrub brush to get into the tight spots.
- Next, pour a pot of hot water onto the baking soda mixture and use a plunger to suction onto the manganese deposits and pull them out. Make sure you rinse off all the residue before proceeding.
- If using a commercial cleaner, mix one cup of white vinegar with two cups of water in a spray bottle and use this solution to clean the pipe walls and manganese deposits. Be sure to rinse off all the residue afterwards. ..
