Water Quality Problems-Symptoms-Recommended Equipment

Hardness-Mineral deposits on dishes and glassware; stiff, dingy laundry; high soap usage and need for
fabric softeners; dry, itchy skin and scalp; unmanageable hair; extra work to remove soap curd on
bathtubs and shower stalls; high energy costs due to scale build-up in pipes and on appliances-Water Softener.

Chlorine, foul odors and tastes-Chlorine taste; foul odors; damage to hair; itchy skin.Back washing filter using activated carbon.

Iron & Manganese-Unpleasant metallic tastes; rust particles; staining on plumbing fixtures; red water; odors-Iron filter.

Turbidity-Cloudy water; sediment, sand, silt and rust particles-Media filter

Acidic water (low pH)-Green stains on bathroom sinks and other porcelain (surfaces; blue green water. (Acidic water may cause corrosion of pipes & plumbing fixtures.)Acid neutralizer using Calcite.

Tannin-Brownish, tea colored water; musty odors-Tannin filter.

Arsenic-A naturally occurring element found in ground water, Arsenic is a carcinogen at high concentrations, and the EPA reports Arsenic may cause adverse health effects in low concentrations. Testing for Arsenic is highly recommended-Arsenic Reduction System.

Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) are the total amount of mobile charged ions, including minerals, salts or metals dissolved in a given volume of water, expressed in units of mg per unit volume of water (mg/L), also referred to as parts per million (ppm). TDS is directly related to the purity of water and the quality of water purification systems and affects everything that consumes, lives in, or uses water, whether organic or inorganic, whether for better or for worse.

Nature intended us to have high-quality water. This is why we have the continuous water cycle, whereby water from our oceans, rivers, lakes and streams falls to the ground as rain or snow and becomes filtered as it seeps through the earth’s surface. As the water works its way through the ground it picks up minerals by dissolving limestone, causing water hardness. Water may also come into contact with Iron, Manganese, Arsenic and other contaminants, which cause additional water treatment problems. The chart below lists typical whole house water quality problems and indicates which equipment effectively corrects any problems you may have in your home.
