Smelly Water
Does your water smell like rotten eggs or sulfur gas?
Rural well water that is smelly could have hydrogen sulfide or sulfate reducing bacteria in it. Pro-Water Conditioning can provide a system for you that will completely eliminate these issues by installing a constant chlorination or hydrogen peroxide injection system. It would also alleviate any concern of Coliforms or E. coli if present in your domestic water, and in most cases eliminate the need to shock chlorinate your water well. In our experience we prefer treating water above ground (injection systems) which eliminates the chance of household plumbing corrosion and/or well issues caused from shock chlorination.
Does your water smell like chlorine or organic odor?
If you use municipal water sources and you notice a strong smell of chlorine in your tap water, it’s likely because spring run-off season has arrived. When the weather warms up and the snow melts, decomposing grass and leaves, manure from farmers’ fields and loose soil wash into the water. That means the municipality adjusts its water treatment which can cause a distinct chlorine or organic odor in your tap water. Studies show that chlorine is a health hazard but there are easy methods to remove it. Pro-Water Conditioning can either install a premium in-line carbon filter assembly (filter cartridge would need replaced annually), or a self-cleaning activated carbon filter system that would last many years with no maintenance. We also sell designer shower heads that remove chlorine to give you a clean, safe chlorine free shower.
For rural residents that are experiencing organic odors, color and turbidity, we install chemical free, self-cleaning multi-media filters (the filter is composed of a custom made media mix that removes odor, iron, manganese and other impurities).
