WATER QUALITY PROBLEMS:
WATER HARDNESSAs water seeps through the ground, it picks up Calcium, Magnesium and other minerals. These minerals are dissolved by the water, which is often referred to as the "universal solvent" When water has high amounts of minerals, it is considered hard. When water contains low amounts of minerals, it is called soft. When minerals in water precipitate or drop out of solution, they produce hard water scale which forms in water pipes, hot water heaters, coffee makers, dishwashers and ice machines. Scale formation results in reduce flow, higher energy costs and expensive repairs to appliances.
It is estimated 85% of all water supplies in the United States contains enough hardness to cause problems in home water use.
Mineral depositsMinerals, contained in hard water, often cause unsightly spotting to occur on glassware, dishes and silverware, resulting in extra work.
Plugged shower heads
Scaling plugs up shower heads, restricting flow. This can be costly, depending on the number of shower heads replaced.
Chlorine taste and odorsChlorine is typically added to municipal water for disinfection. Research indicates most consumers purchase water filters to remove chemicals such as chlorine, from their drinking water For this reason chlorine, taste and odor reduction is an essential part of any effective water treatment system.
Conventional water softenersIn recent years, water softeners have been the most effective and practical way to remove hardness and reduce scale formation. Water softeners require salt and periodic back washing to regenerate the ion exchange resin, resulting in brine water discharge to the sewer or drain field.
