CLEAN WATER
DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS IN YOUR WATER
Water is the essence of life. Hydrogen and oxygen combined are a miracle of life. A person can live only about 3 days without water. We all drink water multiple times every day. Sadly, almost all the water we drink is contaminated. Though water systems do focus on providing clean water there is still contamination of some level in all water systems. A wide variety of issues can lead to contamination including the water source and improperly maintained or aged distribution systems.
HARMFUL
CONTAMINATION
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Safe Drinking Water Act requires municipalities to test water supplies once, twice, or several times per year, depending on the potential contaminants and the size of the population served.[1]
People can suffer health effects from contaminants. High levels can have acute impact in hours or days, yet chronic effects can come from consuming contaminants over an extended time. Microbes, bacteria, and viruses can reach harmful levels in water is not properly treated. In addition chemical contaminants that enter the water systems through solvents, pesticides, and disinfection products; and minerals dissolved in the water (such as arsenic, aluminum, cadmium, mercury) can lead to chronic effects including, kidney and liver problems, reproductive challenges, and cancer.
Your water does have contaminants. All home water systems do have some contaminants. If you would like to find out more about water contamination and it’s impact go to:

HARD WATER
In addition to microbial contamination many water systems have chemical contamination that makes the water “hard”. High levels of calcium, magnesium, and other alkaline minerals make it hard to wash things and causes alkaline deposits to build up in plumbing and appliances.
If you’re noticing any of the following signs of hard water, it might be time to install a water softener:
- Cloudy or discolored water
- Scale buildup on showerheads and faucets
- Plumbing corrosion due to mineral deposits or acidity
- Scum on bathtubs, sinks, and showers
- Spots and streaks on dishes after dishwasher
- Clothes that are stiff after washing
- Skin dry and irritated
- Dull hair that is hard to soften
Affordable Watersoft has a solution that can make your water soft, removing the alkaline mineral contamination.
