HOME PRODUCTS & SERVICES ABOUT DEALERS CONTACT SERVICE REQUEST WATER PROBLEMS REPLACEMENT PARTS & FILTERS CHLORINE Chlorine is present in the water in most of our homes today. Municipalities have used chlorine to disinfect the water supply since the 1850’s and still do so today. Many microbiological contaminants can only be removed with the use of chlorine. However, the taste and smell of chlorine are unappealing and can also dry out your skin and hair. Once chlorine treated water reaches your home, the chlorine is no longer necessary and can be filtered out using a carbon filter.

HOME PRODUCTS & SERVICES ABOUT DEALERS CONTACT SERVICE REQUEST WATER PROBLEMS REPLACEMENT PARTS & FILTERS NITRATES & NITRITES Nitrates and nitrites are naturally occuring substances that are created by the decomposition of organic matter. The nitrate concentration in surface water is normally pretty low, but can be elevated due to agricultural runoff, refuse dump runoff, or contamination with human or animal wastes. High levels of nitrates can be dangerous for babies or pregnant women because nitrates interfere with the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood. Nitrate in water is undetectable without testing, as it is odorless, tasteless, and colorless. It is highly recommended that any household with pregnant women, infants, nursing women, or elderly people have their water tested for nitrates. The current EPA guidelines set the limit of nitrates in drinking water at 10 mg/L.

HOME PRODUCTS & SERVICES ABOUT DEALERS CONTACT SERVICE REQUEST WATER PROBLEMS REPLACEMENT PARTS & FILTERS IRON / MANGANESE Rusty-orange or black staining on sinks, bathtubs, toilet bowls, laundry, and plumbing fixtures are an indication that your water contains excessive iron or manganese. Drinking water may even have a yellow or orange tinge and taste metallic. Excess iron or manganese in your water is generally a nuisance but should produce no adverse health effects. However, some harmful bacteria require iron to grow, making their removal more difficult while iron is present. Most iron and manganese problems can be treated with a water softener or sediment filter, depending on the type of iron and quantity.
