What are the signs that your system needs maintenance?
While routine maintenance is recommended, particularly for homes that rely on well water, there are warning signs that something is wrong with your water treatment system. If you notice any of the following, then consider contacting a local water treatment company.
If you notice a drop in water pressure throughout your home, it could indicate that the filters are clogged and need to be replaced because clogged filters restrict water flow.
If you start seeing sediment, particles, or discoloration in the water from your taps, it means the filters are no longer effectively removing contaminants and likely need to be changed.
If you detect foul tastes or smells, like chlorine, rotten eggs, or mustiness in your water, that likely means the filters are saturated.
If your skin and hair feel excessively dry after showering, it could mean the filters need changing to restore chlorine removal.
If you notice hard water deposits or scale buildup on fixtures, dishes, or appliances, it suggests the water softener needs servicing or replacement media.
If you have to replace filters more frequently than expected based on their rated capacity, it could indicate issues like excessive sediment requiring more frequent maintenance.
For homes with well water, then finding a company that performs well water maintenance and home filtration maintenance helps ensure the same quality team inspects your home.
