Hard Water Solutions
Hard water contains higher levels of dissolved calcium and magnesium. It makes cleaning clothes more difficult, creates streaking on dishes and glasses, scaling on faucets and shower heads and makes cleaning your hair and skin well a challenge. Consequently, it can also damage your home’s piping distribution system if not corrected. There are high efficiency filtration solutions that will condition your water by removing these minerals through the proven ion exchange water softening process.

Scale Build-up
Symptoms of water quality issues include bad odors & taste, staining of laundry, bathroom fixtures, etc. However, the preferred starting point is to get a water test. This will identify the minerals or contaminants in the water and at what quantity they exist. Subsequently, this will lead to an effective system recommendation and route to providing your home with excellent water quality. Moreover, certain minerals & contaminants can be tested on-site. However, health threat items like radon in water, arsenic in water, nitrates and others should be properly sampled and brought to a certified laboratory for testing.

WATER SOFTENER SYSTEMS

High Efficiency Water Softener
A water softener is a type of whole house water filtration system that is designed for removing hard water minerals (magnesium & calcium). Additionally, it will remove dissolved iron and manganese from the water. Notably, for water with high levels of iron or manganese (“the Stainers”), an “up-flow” water softener is recommended. This will prevent mineral build-up in the bottom of the water softener. Also, high efficiency water softeners that are more efficient with both water and salt usage are preferred.

BAD ODORS & TASTE
In following, there are many other types of systems to remove bad tastes & odors, sediment and other objectionable minerals and contaminants in the water. A water test and analysis will lead to the best approach. For more information on bad odors & taste, see the link at http://bad-odor-taste-water/.
