  • How to get my home’s or business’s water tested?

    One of the most reliable ways to have your home’s or business's water tested is to contact a local water purification company. They have the proper tools and techniques to accurately measure the contaminants in your water.

  • Why does my water stain my sink, plates, and tub brown?

    If you have brown water stains, this is likely due to excess iron or manganese in your water. One of the best ways to avoid future staining is to have a water purification system installed. Then, you won't have to worry about furiously scrubbing away unwanted stains. 

  • What is the difference between soft and hard water?

    Soft water is lower in minerals than hard water. Hard water often contains iron, magnesium, calcium, sulfates, chlorides, and more. 

  • Why is soft water better?

    It is important to have hard water filtration done if your water contains too many minerals. Hard water often causes issues such as dry skin, brittle hair, limescale corrosion on sinks and tubs, and other problems.
