There are many reasons we need a water softener.  A water softener will eliminate the stains on your fixtures, tubs, and sinks.  Hard water destroys the plumbing, leaving a permanant residue that impairs the fixture’s function.  Another reason to consider softening your water is to amount of harsh chemicals we use because of hard water.  Spot-free rinses, fabric softeners, bleaches…the list goes on and on.  You can only get your clothes, bathrooms, skin, and dishes as clean as the water will let you.

What exactly is copper? 

This natural element occurs in rock, water, soil, plants, sediment, and air.  In small amounts, copper is essential for living organisms.  But too much copper can cause nausea and vomiting and long term exposure can cause liver and kidney damage.  It is recommend by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) that we intake 1.0 -1.6 mg per day.

But if you’d like to keep it out of your drinking water, reverse osmosis is ideal. 

Naturally, many people are concerned about the quality of water in their home.  After all, we not only drink the water, we bathe with it and many of our appliances need water to function.  When our water isn’t treated, it can have an unpleasant smell and taste while the minerals leave deposits on our clothes, dishes, and plumbing fixtures.

Do not be fooled by water conditioners that claim to soften your water without salt or potassium.  They claim to ‘condition’ the water, implying softened water. 

First off, they are conditioners.  They can make this statement because they are clearly changing the ‘condition’ of the water.  This is typically done by removing the chlorine or sending an electric current through the water. 

But carbon or these other type of devices cannot not remove scale, calcium, limestone, magnesium… To truly remove the hardness minerals that leave deposits on our fixtures and ruin our plumbing.  Ionic exchange, reverse osmosis, nanofiltration are tested and validated methods of removing hardness from the water. 

Right now, All About Water is running a special on electric 50 gallon water heaters for $579.00 installed!  Call today at 480-892-7556.

Reverse Osmosis has faced perceived obstacles that our current technology has addressed. 

1) People fear they are too difficult to maintain.

May have been true in the past, but EcoWater’s ERO 375 filters are incredibly easy to change and take care of.  They are fully monitored and remove much of the guess work typically associated with reverse osmosis.

2)  Reverse Osmosis waste water.

There are many factors to consider before making such a bold statement.  Do we consider the water used in our dishwasher or washer machines wasted?  What about the water used in showers or baths?   The standard answer is no because it takes water to make these work.  The amount of water ‘wasted’ is minimal and is returned to our water waste systems without any additional chemicals added, unlike our showers or dishwashers.

There are a few treatment techniques that can remove uranium from your drinking water.  

Reverse osmosis and distillation are 2 examples. 

To truly provide the right solution, a water analysis regarding the other water conditions is recommended. 

Residential under the sink reverse osmosis has been around since the 1960’s and became popular in the 1980’s.  Water softening has been round for almost 100 years, becoming common in residential homes in the 1960’s.  But rather then offer this solution, many are looking to whole house reverse osmosis. 

According Water Technology, whole house reverse osmosis (RO) is a proven economical, green solution to treating our water.  They are easy to maintain, making it cost-effective, and are energy efficient.  They eliminate the need for bottled water and that will reduce the waste and cost that comes along with that kind of purchase.
