Water Treatment, Testing, and Analysis
Is Your Water Clean?
If you get your water from a well, you never can be sure what’s in it. It may contain anything from sediment to wildlife contamination. Homeowners on city water may not even be aware their supply needs treatment. However, they will recognize the chlorine taste and smell, which causes them to spend a fortune each year on bottled water. This video shows one solution.
“I’ve Got City Water.”
City water is treated, but only about 2% is for in-home use. This water meets or exceeds EPA standards. The other 98% is for fire-fighting, industrial use, etc. Suppose the city treats household water to an extremely high degree. It would travel through miles of pipe that was installed who-knows how long ago? This clearly shows how more water treatment is necessary for your home. The city could do it, but your costs would skyrocket as a result.
“We Get Our Water From a Well.”
Our drinking water is being destroyed. Did you know… At least 255 million metric tons of hazardous chemical wastes are dumped into our nation’s environment each year? There are 400,000 landfills, ponds, pits, and lagoons in the nation containing some of the most dangerous substances known? Thirty-five thousand pesticides are made from 600 chemical compounds – all potentially winding up in our water supply?
What Do Certified Water Tests Look For?
- Water Hardness – Hard water causes spots on fixtures, glasses, and silverware. The hardness creates soap curd, interfering with cleaning products' strength, and causes problems such as bathtub rings. Also, scaling builds up and can clog pipes and fixtures.
- Iron – High iron concentrations cause a foul taste and rust-colored staining of plumbing fixtures and clothes.
- pH – Low pH water (acid water) damages sinks, faucets, hot water tanks, drainage, and supply lines. These problems lead to extensive repair costs or replacement.
- Sulfur – Sulfur damages plumbing and gives off an offensive, "rotten egg" odor.
- Chlorine – Chlorine is found objectionable in drinking and bathing water. Chlorine that mixes with organics in water forms trihalomethanes (THM's). THM's are reportedly cancer-causing agents.
