Water Filtration
Cleaner, Healthier Water. What’s Not to Like?
“No doubt you’ve heard the old saying: What you can’t see can’t hurt you?”
That may be true of some things, but definitely not when it comes to your home water supply.
The fact is that over 95% of all U.S. residential water supplies are tainted to some degree. The good news is that the vast majority of in-home water pollution represents little if any health hazards to you or your family.
At the same time, good health isn’t your only concern when it comes to the quality of your water.
Common Water Contaminants.
There are many know water contaminants that we, as water filtration specialists, are trained to detect and correct.
These are the most common household water problems:
Acidity: Acidity, or the pH of water, is measured on a scale of 0-14. 7 is considered neutral. A pH value below 7.0 is acidic. It can cause corrosion of copper plumbing, brass fixtures, heating elements, and steel tanks. This results in a blue-green stain on sinks and tubs. The Acidity per se is not a health risk, but if minerals leach into the water from your pipes, that could potentially cause problems.
Chlorine: This chemical, used as a disinfectant, is also a respiratory and skin irritant. It’s not very healthy for our insides, either.
Dirt: particles of earth that are good for growing vegetables in but are not appropriate for drinking or bathing. Dirt plus water = mud.
Hardness: Water hardness is the result of minerals dissolved in water, primarily calcium and magnesium. Hardness is not a heath concern, but it can cause household problems such as soap scum on tubs and showers, mineral deposits on dishes and glassware, and reduction of the efficiency of devices that heat water.
Iron: The presence of iron in water is also not considered a health hazard. However, an excessive amount of iron causes red, brown, or yellow staining of laundry, glassware, dishes and household fixtures such as bathtubs and sinks. The water may also taste metallic and smell bad. Pipes and fixtures can also get clogged over time.
Rotten egg smell (hydrogen sulfide): Hydrogen sulfide is an odiferous gas found in some water. It can be especially smelly when the water is hot, and it will alter the taste of food and beverages like tea and coffee. It can also be corrosive to metal parts of washing machines and the plumbing.
At Falcon Plumbing, we have the skill, technology, and experience to provide you and your family with an endless supply of clear, pure, and delicious-tasting water…in most cases, at a quality greater than what you find in bottled water.
