Is your water safe?

 

Depending on what city you are in or even where you are located on a particular city water system your water can take on some very unpleasant qualities.

Some of the common issues with household water include:

Gillece Water Conditioning Service

CHLORINE
City water contains chlorine. While chlorine for the most part will not hurt you, it smells and tastes bad.

In addition, it dries out hair and skin leaving you itchy and uncomfortable.

 

HARD WATER
Hard water causes soap scum to form in tubs and showers and results in spots appearing on faucets and fixtures.  Hard water is also hard on appliances by creating scale build up inside pipes.  It can result

in very costly repairs. 

 

CLOUDY WATER
While sometimes the cloudiness can be confused with harmless air bubbles, some cloudiness can be a reason for concern.  In drinking water, the cloudier the water appears the higher the risk that your water contains impurities in the form of suspended solids.  Suspended solids interfere with water disinfection with chlorine because the particles act as shields for the virus and bacteria.

WATER ODOR
The presence of hydrogen sulfide in water results in a fowl smelling water similar to that of a rotten egg.  In addition, musty, earthy or fishy tasting or smelling water is the result of algae, molds and bacteria.  While it is mostly harmless, smelly water is virtually useless for drinking, cooking and cleaning.

 

METALLIC TASTE OR SMELL
Metallic tasting water is usually the result of elevated levels of actual metals in your water like iron and manganese.  They not only taste bad but they can be bad for you!

 

FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN
What you can’t see can hurt you.  Bacterias, viruses, cryptosporidium, giardia lamblia, lead, mercury and many other very harmful impurities can be found in tap water.  These elements can cause unspeakable illnesses and even adversely affect the young and elderly where immune systems are less developed or compromised.

Gillece can help, by providing a variety of soultions.

Studies have found that your clothing can wear out up to 30 times faster if you have hard water; hard water can also lead to your skin always feeling itchy and dry. But, Gillece can help by installing a water softner or drinking water system.

 

The proper selection of an ion exchange water conditioner can greatly reduce or eliminate the problems caused by the presence of hardness and other unwanted minerals from water supplies.

 

Water that contains dissolved calcium, magnesium, iron and manganese is commonly referred to as "hard" because these metals can combine with other compounds to leave hard scales or stains on the surfaces they touch, as well as interfering with the effectiveness of soap and other cleaning products.

 

Water may also contain other dissolved unwanted minerals such as lead, nitrates, aesthetic chlorine, aluminum, organics that produce off tastes and odors, and other impurities.
