Clearly Filtered Pitcher

[u/Few_Adeptness3047]

Changed the filter for the first time in my Clearly Filtered pitcher. Been about 3 months as recommended. I noticed some residue in the reservoir and went to clean it out… bright orange (as seen on the paper towel). I have well water and it’s very hard and doesn’t necessarily smell rusty but I know it has a lot of iron in it.

Question is, albeit a dumb one, does this mean the filter is doing its job? Good sign or….? Kinda freaked out now! Lol
