Water Symptoms
Hard water:
Hard water is caused buy dissolved mineral deposits such as calcium and
magnesium. These minerals cause a multitude of problems like clogged pipes,
crusty corroded faucets, soap scum, dry skin, dry hair, and also
damages hot water heaters causing them to loose efficiency. You can see
the problems on your fixtures and pipes, just imagine the damage happening
inside yourself!
Water is considered to be hard at 3 grains per gallon. Average municipal
water is 8 to 10 grains hard. Wells can range anywhere from 0 to 150 grains
hard!
We
will have the system sized to handle any water hardness. Guaranteed!
Iron water:
Iron leaves a very evident trail of orange/brown stains. It is quickly
spotted in dishwashers, toilets, showers, and will ruin laundry. High
levels of iron can even leave and unpleasant odor reminiscent of rotten
egg or even a petroleum smell.
We have many options to handle any level of iron in your water. Never
see another stain or ruin a load of laundry again!
Iron Bacteria:
Iron bacteria has the same characteristics as iron except it is a living
organism that feeds on iron its self. Iron bacteria is most visible in
the back of toilet tanks leaving a slimy or even fuzzy ring around the
tank. It may appear like a jelly also. You may see a oil like film on
top of the water also. Other symptoms can be a sulfur or rotten egg smell,
and low water pressure or plugged faucet screens. If left unattended too,
Iron bacteria will eventually plug pipes and damage destroy fixtures.
Treatment procedures require iron bacteria to be treated prior to any
other treatment except for PH. The only effective treatment is with a
chlorination system.
Our chlorination system can eliminate
Iron bacteria, sulfur, coliform, e-coli, iron, and many other problems.
Sulfur:
Sulfur is very obvious. The rotten egg smell. Sulfur is extremely
dangerous to anything metal. Pipes, fixtures, wiring, silverware, etc.
Sulfur can be detected by smell before it even shows up on a test. Even
the smallest level of sulfur can ruin your home. Tired of explaining that
smell to friends or family?
Our systems will stop that conversation
from ever happening again
Methane Gas:
Methane is naturally occurring in well water. It is colorless and odorless.
Methane causes large air pockets in your plumbing or a popping or bursting
experience when you turn on a faucet. Fill a clear glass with cold water.
If the water looks extremely cloudy and slowly clears from the bottom
up, you may have methane. Methane is extremely flammable!
Our Aeration system will remove methane
safely and effectively
Manganese:
An element in water usually found with iron. Manganese will cause black
staining at levels as low as .05 ppm. Most commonly seen in toilets, showers,
or on fixtures.
Our water conditioners will eliminate
this problem
Colloidal clay:
This form of clay
will give you gray or brown water that cannot be filtered out through
Standard filtration. This clay is so fine that it does not settle out
in water and will quickly plug filters and cause extreme pressure loss
and frequent filter change. The only effective treatment is with a chlorination
system injecting a fluctuant solution into the water to coagulate
the clay into larger particles before filtration.
We design our systems for each specific need.

dare you to compare, our systems, our warranty, our quality"
