Your water can have several different problems that have to be addressed by a water treatment plan. If your water comes from the municipal source, it still can have issues that need to be treated. Water from a well obviously needs to be treated before it is potable. These are just a few of the types of treatments that your water might need.

Hard Water

Hard water is water that has had elements dissolved into it. It can have elements dissolved in it because of your pipes or because of the source of the water. Often, water from a well is hard water; water that passes through old pipes often picks up elements of the piping as it flows. Typically, hard water means that it has dissolved in it calcium, magnesium, and/or iron. This can be filtered out with water treatment in Mullica Hill, NJ.

Cloudy Water

If your water is cloudy, you likely need water treatment to remove dissolved solids. The dissolved solids are usually different from the elements in hard water but they can be the same elements at higher concentrations. Water is an incredible solvent and picks up many different elements as it flows.

Odd Taste

If your water has an odd taste, it could be due to any number of issues. If it smells rotten, it could be because of rotting vegetation that comes in contact with your water. If it smells like rotten eggs, it has likely come in contact with hydrogen sulfide. If it smells or tastes like metal, it has likely been in contact with metal that has dissolved into the water. A good treatment plan can eliminate all of those different substances.
