“Swamp perfume”, “wet socks”, MIB

Leaving a bad taste in your mouth and a musty smell in your glass. MIB doesn’t make you sick – but it sure makes your water unwanted.

Found chilling with algae and bacteria in lakes, reservoirs, and water tanks. Loves warm weather and nutrient-rich waters.

Although non-toxic, makes safe water seem unsafe. It’s tough to get rid of – regular treatment doesn’t faze it – keeping water crews busy and budgets stretched.

If it’s too hard to swallow, use an activated carbon filter to catch MIB before it hits your mouth.
