There are many reasons people buy water filters or have water softeners installed in the home. Water in many areas can have an awful smell to it. Before you go out and buy a treatment you’re not sure of though, have your water tested by one of the companies that specializes in purifying and conditioning it. The smell may be coming from iron or your water may be ‘hard’ because of magnesium and/or calcium in it. Hard water makes it very difficult to get clothes cleaned properly because the laundry soap doesn’t dissolve as well.
You’re dealing with hard water if you have to use an extremely large amount of shampoo and your skin feels dry after a shower. The soap leaves a scum on the bath water and a ring around the bathtub. Notice the inside of the tea kettle you boil water in to make tea. It eventually becomes corroded with a white mineral residue that you can actually scrape out. This is the calcium and magnesium that are in the water you’re drinking. This water will also corrode the inside of your water heater and many times cause the hot water to have a foul odor to it.
When water is brown it signifies iron is in it. There will be evidence of iron in the ring inside the commode after flushing it. Most people in the area have their water tested by EcoWater Systems, a company that also offers Water Treatment in Leesburg FL. Once people have a water softener installed in their home they’ll wonder how they ever got along without one. This water feels like silk on the skin when taking a shower. You’ll have to make sure there is a tub mat in the bathtub because it will be squeaky clean. Less laundry soap will be needed, the commode will clean up so much better and your pipes will not be corroded with iron, magnesium or calcium any longer.
Even though your municipality may have stated the water in your area is safe for drinking and bathing, this means that there are no toxins in it or dangerous bacteria. Allowing a company specializing in Water Treatment in Leesburg FL to come into your home and treat your water for odors, hardness and purity will finally give your family its long awaited clear, cool drink of pure water.
