WATER SOFTENER FOR HARD WATER, IRON & MANGANESE

Hard water minerals (magnesium & calcium), as well as iron and manganese found in well water supplying homes in Ogunquit, Maine can be removed with a water softener.  In following, the EPA has no maximum levels set for calcium and magnesium although these minerals can have damaging affects on your home’s plumbing.  Additionally, hard water interferes with almost every cleaning task, from doing the laundry to washing dishes to taking a shower. Clothing can look dingy and feel rough and scratchy. Dishes and glasses may get spotted and a film may build up on shower doors, bathtubs, sinks and faucets. Concurrently, washing your hair in hard water may leave it feeling sticky and dull. Finally, hard water can cause a residue to build-up in pipes that can lower water pressure throughout the house.

Selecting the appropriate micron rating and style of filter can be determined by a water treatment professional based on water test results and other symptoms. For more information on Iron and Manganese in water, see articles in Water Technology Magazine at the following link: http://publications/.

Dissolved Iron Staining

Consequently, some of the affects include corrosion and scaling inside pipes, major staining throughout the home’s showers, bathtubs, and sinks.  Also,  hard water scale can also build-up inside hot water heaters, insulating the temperature sensor inside the tank.  Effectively, this will cause them to work much harder to bring the temperature up to the set level, shortening their lives.  For more on hard water, see link at https://www.usgs.gov/special-topics/water-science-school/science/hardness-water
