5 Ways Watercare Fixes Common Water Issues
Clean water should be a necessity for any home. Whether that’s taking a shower, drinking a glass, rinsing vegetables, or doing laundry, water comes into contact with the body. Ensuring that water is clean and treated is essential for the quality of living in the home. Watercare products are equipped to handle common water issues that you might face in your home.
Keeping water clean and filtered properly might seem like common knowledge, but many people lack awareness of specific water issues. Below are five common water issues and their solutions. Increasing the quality of the water in your home is a good thing, and it’s crucial for you and your family to learn how it all works and what you can do to make it happen.
Hardness
Hard water can leave a residue on your faucets and fixtures. The residue is caused by minerals like calcium that are dissolved in your water and can build up over time. That buildup is not only unsightly but can also reduce the efficiency and lifespan of your appliances. This hardness can also affect skin and hair, causing dryness and cracking.
A water softener would make a significant difference in the quality of your water. The softener will reduce tough materials running through your pipes, providing an automatic cleaning cycle. Using the softener will fix the residue problem as well as improve your shower and bathing time and your skin and hair will thank you.
Iron
Iron running through your water can cause a multitude of issues. Even the smallest amounts can leave rust stains on your fixtures and laundry. The water will have a metallic taste, making it hard to cook with or drink. These high levels of rust can also clog your plumbing.
Using a high-quality filter will eliminate iron and manganese from your water. The filter will reduce staining on pipes and fixtures as the water travels through the filter, removing the toxins. The next step is the regeneration process where water flows slowly through a valve, releasing captured air. All undesirable particles are removed from the water and drain harmlessly from your unit.
PH/Acid
Regulating a water’s pH system is incredibly difficult as it can easily be affected by the environment. The water can turn acidic, eating away your home’s plumbing. And as the copper pipes deteriorate, the metal residue rests on your sinks, showers, and bathtubs, giving them an unappealing green stain. Pinhole leaks will also occur over time, so it’s important to look into neutralizing the system.
Using a neutralizing water filter will help to eliminate acidic water in your home. Acidic water might accelerate corrosion and staining on your plumbing system and fixtures. The water filter will dissolve the calcium carbonate and raise pH levels in your water to the appropriate amount.
Chlorine
Chlorine is used in many cities as a way or purifying the water as it travels to your home. These chemicals aren’t good for the body as they can cause skin irritation and will have a strong smell and unpleasant taste. Removing the chlorine from the water before it comes into contact with the body is essential in protecting yourself and your family.
A split tank water softener would combine high-performance media with activated carbon all in one take. This process doubles the efficiency of the water flow. It’s environmentally friendly and the ideal solution, protecting household plumbing, providing great tasting water, and eliminating city water odor.
Sulfur
Sulfur happens naturally, sometimes making the water smell like rotten eggs. This toxin can affect your daily life as the smell will follow you when showering, cooking food or drinking water, and doing your laundry. Nobody wants their home to have a horrid smell from sulfur in the water.
An air sulfur water filter is the best option to reduce hydrogen-sulfide for purified water that’s odorless. The filter stops water from staining or creating foul odors and unpleasant tastes. The air filter transports untreated water through an inlet and down into an air dome which oxidizes and precipitates sulfur and other impurities before going to the regeneration process.
