Tannin and lignin are naturally occurring chemical compounds, most frequently found in tea, coffee, chocolate, red wine and tree bark, and where large quantities of vegetation have decayed. Tannin is often added to boiler water to help reduce scale formation inside the boiler.

The EPA has no guidelines on expected levels in drinking water because there is no apparent health risks associated with these compounds other than the possibility of a slight stimulant affect.

Tannin May Trigger Migranes!

If you have your water tested for tannin or lignin, you will often find that the results will be reported in general terms as "PPM/hydroxylated aromatic compounds".

Water that has lignin or tannin present is a faint yellow or brown in color and may taste slightly bitter. Washing white clothes in this water may cause dullness and discoloration of clothing and food cooked in the water will often be tinted a yellow/brown colour.

Although these chemicals may make the water aesthetically unpleasing, it has no known health risks and can be easily removed with tannin water filters.
