Common water problems and solutionsWater has been described as "the universal solvent" and effectively dissolves most things that it touches (rocks, metals, waste matter, gases, etc). Whether your water supply is from a shallow or deep well, river, lake, or pond, it contains dissolved solids that you may find objectionable or deemed unhealthy.
In addition, bacteria and microorganisms may be present that could be harmful and require treatment. Listed below are some common problems associated with potable water. Please call our office if you have a concern about your water that's not listed below, or would simply like additional information.
Chlorine RemovalChlorine is an powerful disinfectant added to the public water supply to safeguard people from disease causing pathogens. Ironically, chlorination of water will always result in the formation of trihalomethanes and other chlorination products that can cause adverse birth outcome and cancer risks. Drinking bottled water is only a partial solution to avoiding these hazards.
Chlorine is also absorbed into the blood stream through skin contact and inhalation of steam (which can be more harmful than drinking the water itself) when showering or bathing. That is why it’s so important to remove the chlorine at the point of entry to your home. We use patented technologies to remove a minimum of 96% (and higher) of chlorine and chlorine by-products with flow rates as high as 15 GPM.
