Hard and Rusty Water

How to Deal with Rusty and/or Hard Water

Most U.S. family homes have hard water. You notice this most when washing dishes, doing laundry, or showering.  There’s excessive lime and chalk buildup in your sinks and showers. And even your skin and hair feel dry and itchy after you’ve washed.

Water softeners remove unwanted minerals and improve the quality of your water.

If you have red or brown deposits in your sinks or drains, then you most likely have a high concentration of iron in your water.  These are two common problems that can be addressed with different water conditioning solutions.

What is Hard Water?

Hard water is water that has collected a large amount of calcium, magnesium and other minerals in it. Hard water is not harmful to your health, but it is harmful to your home.  Living in a home with hard water can be a costly problem.  When dissolved minerals combine with heat, it leaves scale and buildup that damages pipes, appliances and fixtures.

Although O.K. to drink, water with nasty smells and discoloration can be hard to swallow.

No one likes to drink smelly or rusty water.  Both of which are common problems in our area.  In many homes water smells like rotten eggs or has a metallic taste and also appearance.

Dealing With Smelly or Rusty Water

In most cases water that smells or looks rusty is not harmful to your health. That still doesn’t make it taste or smell any better … or very appealing to drink. For some the solution is to buy bottled water which can be costly and has a negative environmental impact.

Reverse Osmosis Water Systems

Pure, Clear Water for Those Really Hot Days

reverse osmosis water systemLately it has been hot … real hot! Regardless of what you are doing, working, playing, or just hanging out, these hot days make us thirsty.

Our bodies use water in many different ways. Along with quenching our thirst, it also lubricates our joints, nourishes and protects our organs, keeps our body temperature normal, and plays a large role in removing waste from our bodies.

So when our bodies crave water it is important to give our families the best drinking water possible. With the water in our area not always smelling or tasting the best, we often reach for a bottle of water purchased at a local store.

This option is not always convenient and can be costly to our wallets and well as to the environment. Not purchasing bottled water saves money and means less plastic to discard.

Home Water Filtration System

Reverse osmosis water filtration systems provide clear, clean water free from impurities.

An alternative to bottled water is to install a reverse osmosis (RO) water filtration system which is designed to filter salt, deposits, minerals, and even odors from the water entering your home.

The water passes through the filter’s membrane into a tank where it is stored and ready to drink. It becomes clean water free from impurities. Whether your home utilizes city or well water, a RO water filtration system provides cleaner, better tasting water.

Reverse osmosis systems are compact, fit under the kitchen sink, and provide 50 gallons of drinking water each day. The water flows through a dedicated dispenser, installed next to your kitchen faucet. It is easily accessible to anyone in your household.

Benefits of Clear, Clean Water

Having clear, clean water with no offending odors and tastes, will encourage you to drink water more frequently which is important for our overall health. Not purchasing bottled water reduces the amount of plastic we need to dispose of and lessens the environmental impact of producing and recycling plastic bottles. Installing a reverse osmosis water system will also eliminate the need to buy bottled water saving time and money.

Iron Water Filters

How to Remove Iron from Your Water

A common question we hear is “Will my water softener remove iron from my water?” The answer to this is, “Yes, but very little.” Water softeners are designed to treat hard water by removing minerals, including small quantities of iron. In most cases a water softener alone is not an effective solution for removing iron from water.

Iron Filters Offer a Number of Advantages

Since a water softener alone will not solve the problem of excess iron in your water, installing an iron water filter will capture the iron precipitate, leaving the water iron-free.  This has a number of benefits including ….

Five Benefits of Water Filtration Systems

Let’s be honest. We rarely think about what is in our home’s tap water. But, what if we told you that the water in your home could contain lead, chlorine, and excessive amounts of iron. You might be asking yourself, “Aren’t there regulations for these kinds of things?” You’re right; city water must pass rigorous testing to be deemed safe. Unfortunately, over 18 million Americans are being exposed to water with lead violations, according to the National Resource Defense Council (NRDC). So, what’s next?

Luckily, a professional plumbing specialist can set you up with a home water filtration system that will help alleviate these problems. If you still aren’t sold on purchasing such a system, not to worry. There are many benefits of water filtration systems that will make the investment well worth it.
