Clean Water FAQ

FAQ

Is my water going to be slippery when treated?

The water is only slippery when the pH is too high. Keep in mind that your skin has its own natural oils and when wet, clean water may feel a little slippery. And, with untreated water soaps with oils and conditioners are needed which also cause can water to feel slippery. All-natural soaps like ivory, and oatmeal-based are the best. We’ve never met anyone that after having clean water didn’t like it!

What makes my water stink?

The odor can come from many sources. The smell of rotten eggs is natural and comes from the ground due to decaying organics. It can also be caused by your hot water heater.

Why do I have brown stains from my water?

Brown stains can come from iron or sediment. If they are hard to wipe off it is iron! They are many types of iron and the best way to determine what type they are – and the solution – is to have your water tested.

If I have a water softener is my water safe to drink?

It’s probably not a good idea. A water softener doesn’t make good drinking water. The softener only removes hardness, iron, and a few other heavy metals. Things like bacteria, arsenic, and nitrates are not filtered by a water softener.

Will my refrigerator filter remove bacteria and arsenic?

Unfortunately, no. Most refrigerators have carbon filters that work great on removing chlorine from city water. However, bacteria will grow and reproduce in that type of filter. Other problems, like arsenic, will pass thru carbon also. A reverse osmosis drinking water system hooked up to the refrigerator is the best way to have safe drinking water.
