Weird Red Stains that appear in Bathroom

[hamjongwouk]

Does anybody know what this red stain is? For some reason, the toilet and bathtub started getting this red stain. I am not what the reason is. Dont think it is my shampoo... Perhaps something wrong with the water in the pipes?

I'd appreciate any help you could provide!

If your on a well you might want to check the iron in your water. Iron will make things red. Be careful washing clothes. Check in the toilet tank and see if it is red in there.

I see. So this might be an iron issue? What I can do to "fix" this issue. Do I need to call a plumber? or can I fix something myself? Thanks!

Water softener is what you need

Yep, looks like typical iron bacteria. Call a water treatment company, have them do a water test them set you up with the appropriate equipment
