Could your water be the cause of your dry skin and hair? Why are your glasses and dinnerware so cloudy? Why are my toilets always running? The list goes on an on...
Low pH causes blue or green stains and corrosion of plumbing fixtures. It can also cause pitting of porcelain and enamel fixtures and dishes. An acid neutralizer can prevent and solve these issues by increasing the pH level of water to a safe limit.
The hardness of water is referred to by grains per gallon and is the result of calcium and magnesium dissolved in water. Hard water can shorten the lifespan of appliances and cause accumulation of soap scum on fixtures and dinnerware.
Chlorine is a common problem in municipal water. It can strip natural oils from hair and skin, causing dryness and premature aging. Chlorine can also destroy plastic and rubber seals and gaskets in appliances, causing leaks. A backwashing carbon filter eliminates chlorine, odor and unpleasant taste.
Sediment is commonly found in well water, it can clog valves and fixtures and ruin your appliances. Sediment cartridge filters are widely available, but these filters can only handle low flow rates and need to be replaced frequently. A backwashing sediment filter requires low maintenance.
Iron is a common problem in well water, causing orange staining on fixtures and laundry. Iron is mainly present in two forms: soluble ferrous iron (clear or colorless) or insoluble ferric iron (reddish brown substance).
Nitrates can show up in groundwater near farm/agricultural and industrial areas, this problem is caused by fertilizers, livestock manure, human sewage and ammonia waste. Water must have no iron and less than 4 gpg hardness before Nitrate treatment.
