Not that it won't take it out, it will, but it might cause problems in the filter they don't want to address.
I'd check to see if the reverse osmosis cycle occurs before or after the carbon filter.
If it's afterwards, iron algae will contaminate the carbon filter in a week or two.
Installing a carbon filter in the refrigerator prevents the organisms from growing in the filter.
Simply cooling the water makes most of it go inactive and settle out. Ice cubes have a spot of brown residue on the bottom and don't have the iron flavor nearly as much.
A short rinse thaws that part off quickly.

Naah, just me trying to reduce my iron intake. Filter is for my drinking water that comes from the kitchen faucet. Polycythemia is kicking up and my toes turn blue, hurt and burn. Since I don't like needles and all the MD's can do is bloodletting and write on their script pads been thinking of getting me some leeches and let them dine on my toes. I did go searching and found a filter that sounds like it will work and is reasonably priced. It has a 60 day trial thingy, so I ordered it. Here is the link if you want to look at it. <http://www.purego.com/>http://www.purego.com/ and to keep this on topic, notice that I get a free TDS meter with the purchase. CU - Marjie<<<<

If the problem is iron algae or bacteria you're talking thousands for complete whole house treatment.
Some of my neighbors have the problem so bad the water is brown as mud..mine isn't that bad but has a distict flavor and stains everything eventually.
Carbon filters work for a while and reduce conductivity of the water by about 2/3rds but the organisms grow in the filter and make the water smell like a swamp.
