What's your water problem?
Here are some very common water concerns. While water's touch
taste and smell are indicator's of a problem , several water containments simply
go undetected. For a comprehensive analysis of your home's water quality, turn
to your water specialist at Tri State.
“Rotten egg” smell?
The presence of hydrogen sulfide in water gives it an
unpleasant smell, sometimes even rendering it unusable
Cloudy water?
Raw water comes into your home with any number of impurities
that cause turbidity
Chlorine taste or smell?
Municipalities use chlorine to disinfect water. However, not
only does it taste and smell unappealing but it also has a drying effect on skin
and hair.
Musty, earthy, fishy taste or smell?
Caused by algae, molds and bacteria that live in water and
can multiply within a home’s plumbing system.
Metallic taste or smell?
Generally caused by metals such as iron and manganese, these
substances not only taste and smell bad but can also be harmful to your health.
Hard water?
Calcium and magnesium ions in water create hardness, which is
what causes soap scum in tubs and showers and spots on faucets and fixtures.
Hard water is also what causes scaling in appliances, which results in less
efficiency and costly repairs.
