How RC-100 Works
RC-100 coats the iron in irrigation water so it can’t oxidize and leave red stains. It also sequesters and chelates minerals and, in addition, acts as an internal anti-corrosion agent. To get started, follow these simple steps:
- Test your water – First, check iron and hardness levels to determine the right dosage.
- Fill the holding tank – Next, add RC-100 to your Rust Genius unit or other rust prevention system (typically a 15-, 35-, or 55-gallon tank).
- Inject continuously – After that, the system feeds RC-100 into the sprinkler line gradually each time it runs.
- Retest and adjust – Finally, test your water regularly so you can adjust the dosage for optimal protection.
Safety & Usage Precautions
- Use as directed – When you follow the directions, RC-100 is safe for people, pets, and plants.
- Dosage varies – The proper solution strength depends on iron and hardness content as well as the sprinkler pump size.
- Test water regularly – Iron and hardness levels can change, so you may need to adjust the dosage.
- Store securely – Above all, keep the product in its original container, away from children and pets.
For best results, follow all safety recommendations in the printed product instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes rust stains from sprinkler systems?
Rust stains come from iron in irrigation water, most often well water. When the water lands on sidewalks, driveways, and walls, the iron oxidizes and leaves red or orange stains.
How do I prevent rust stains from my sprinkler system?
Use a rust preventer such as RC-100. It is stored in a holding tank and injected gradually into the sprinkler system, where it coats the iron in the water so it can’t oxidize and stain surfaces.
