Do You Need Water Treatment In Greensboro, NC

Common Water Problems Our Water Treatment Systems Can Resolve

Color

Blue or Green Stains

This usually indicates either an acid condition or a possibly an electrical grounding issue. Decaying vegetation produces carbon dioxide which produces Carbonic Acid which dissolves copper pipes and produces Copper Sulfate. Acid water will also dissolve marble sinks and tubs and may cause blonde hair to turn green.

White or Black Stains

This is usually an indication of hardness. White buildup is calcium and black buildup is magnesium.

Hardness may show up as hard water rings in your commode, it will cause soap not to lather and, in some cases, may cause dry skin.

Red or Brown Stains

This is usually an indication of an iron or manganese problem. It will usually show up as stains on your bathroom fixtures or in your clothes. Sometimes there will be a noticeable metallic taste or smell to the water.

Smell

Smells are sometimes quite difficult to correct. They can come from a variety of problems such as a bad pressure tank, water heater anodes, well construction issues, plumbing and venting problems, and sometimes the water itself.

Taste

This is usually the most difficult to treat, because taste is subjective. What tastes good to one person may not taste good to another. Medications may affect one’s taste and pregnant women are usually more sensitive to tastes than men. The most common taste problem usually deals with municipally treated water and Chloramine and Chlorine are the main culprits here. Tastes in well water are usually more difficult to determine the cause and to correct.
