Hard water harms nearly everything in your home, leaving mineral deposits and scale build up on everything the water touches. Hard water is especially tough on plumbing and appliances that use the water, resulting in more repairs and more frequent replacement of appliances.
- Pipes become clogged with scale, reducing water flow
- Water heaters scaled with mineral deposits require more energy to heat your water
- Faucets crusted with hard to remove deposits
- Clothes and towels are dingy and rough
- More time and work involved in cleaning
- Increased expenses for detergents and other cleaning supplies
Reverse Osmosis
Reverse Osmosis called R/O for short, involves separating water from a solution of dissolved solids by forcing water through a semi-permeable membrane. As pressure is applied, water and other molecules with low molecular weight pass through micropores in the membrane. Larger molecules, such as organic dyes and metal complexes, are retained by the membrane. The R/O membrane system features crossflow filtration to allow the concentrate stream to sweep away retained molecules and prevent the membrane surface from clogging or fouling. We service and install both under the sink R/O and whole house R/O.
Water Softeners
Water softeners soften the water by removing the hardness. Hardness is water that is contaminated with dissolved minerals like calcium and magnesium. Without treating, the hard water will produce scale and stains. When deciding what type of water softener best fits your water needs, please let us come give you a free water analysis. We will explain what options will give you the highest quality.
Pumps
Water pumps pull or push the water from the source to be used. The two main types we deal with are Submersible pumps and Jet pumps. Submersible pumps actually go under the water and push the water. Jet pumps spin the water creating a suction to pull the water. Different applications require different pumps.
Pressure switch
Pressure switches turn the pump on and off. When the desired pressure is reached the contacts open shutting the pump off. when the pressure drops below the cut on pressure the contacts close turning the pump on.
Pressure tanks
Pressure tanks use a rubber bladder with air in it. Water is forced into the tank until the desired pressure is reached. Then the water is pushed out of the tank by the air pressure in the bladder.
Aerator
The aerator disperses gasses trapped in water by exposing them to the air. Water is sprayed into the large tank allowing the gasses to escape.
Sulfur block unit
The sulfur block is an enclosed unit which injects air into itself oxidizing gasses in the water then removes them with carbon and Kdf. The advantage of a sulfur block unit is no additional pump and pressure tank is required to pump water out of it. The Kdf is also known to prevent bacteria growth.
