  • Water Problems and Solution Breakdown

    • Blue/Green Staining
      FAQ Image

      This means there is staining/acidic water. 

      Staining of this type is the result of the corrosion of copper pipes or fixtures. The primary culprit is the pH balance of your water. The lower the pH, the more acidic the solution in the water. Corrosion of copper pipes can create several issues for homeowners. You can test the pH of your water to ensure that your water has the right pH balance to reduce the risk of copper corrosion. Usually, raising the pH levels of your water will help to eliminate corrosion and staining and will ensure that your water is safe and healthy to drink.

    • PFAS/PFOS Forever chemical- K5 reverse osmosis

      This means there is Poly- and Perfluoroalkyl Substances, known as PFAS, in your water. You will need a K5 reverse osmosis. Our K5 Reverse Osmosis was one of the first certified Reverse Osmosis units at PFAS removal and reduction. 

      The toxic synthetic ‘forever chemicals’ never break down, and once they are in the environment, they are always there. PFAS chemicals are used in manufacturing non-stick cookware, stain-fighting cleaners, microwavable popcorn bags, waterproof products, and firefighting solutions primarily in aqueous film-forming foam.

    • Hard Water
      FAQ Image

      If you have hard water, you might be able to tell if your shower gets a buildup of soap scum, your pipes are clogged by water scale, or your freezer produces cloudy ice cubes. Hard water can not only cause costly issues for plumbing systems and home appliances, but it can also harm people’s skin and hair.

    • Chlorine

      If you have chlorine odor, contact us today.

      Chlorine in drinking water can cause water to smell or taste like chlorine and can cause drying of your skin as well as unmanageable hair. Drinking water is considered safe as long as the chlorine/chloramine levels do not exceed 4 milligrams per liter. While this may seem alarming, the good news is that this doesn’t necessarily mean that your home’s water is contaminated. Below this level, there are no known harmful health effects.  When either of these two chemicals is found in large doses, it can become harmful.

    • Sulfur Smell (Rotten Egg Smell)

      If your water smells like Sulfur, contact us today.

      FAQ Image

      Iron is known for the orange and brown stains which are caused when ferrous iron is exposed to oxygen. These unsightly stains can be seen in toilets, bathtubs, showers, sinks, dishwashers, and washing machines. Manganese leaves a brownish-black stain on laundry, plumbing, and fixtures.

    • Cloudy Water

      Often homeowners notice that their tap water is cloudy or milky and wonder if it’s safe to drink. What exactly causes cloudy drinking water and how can you improve it?  You can’t tell what exactly the cause of cloudy water is just by looking at it, so it is always a good idea to get your water tested on a regular basis to make sure that there are no harmful pollutants in your water supply. The presence of metals, minerals or bacteria may all be potential causes. Additionally, hard water might be causing the appearance of cloudy water and if this is the case a water softener can help to clear up and soften your water, which in turn will help to protect your pipes.
