Poor water quality is a problem in many homes in Michigan. If you live in Michigan, you know how much of a problem it can be. You can reduce the iron in your water that affects your water quality with Filtration Systems White Lake MI has to offer. The following will cover some common problems hard water causes and how a filtration system can help.
What are the signs of iron in your water?
Rusty stains in your toilet, sink, or on your clothing or bedding are indicative of hard water. Iron is the culprit that makes water hard which is why rust develops when you have hard water. Iron also adversely affects your drinking water, change the taste of your food, and can emit a foul odor. Filtration Systems White Lake MI systems remove the foul odors and make your drinking water more palatable.
How do you know if iron levels are safe?
In 1974, the government passed the Safe Drinking Water Act which is used as the standard in how much iron is safe in your water. The water regulation amount is 0.3 parts per million (ppm) of iron in your water. It will still make stains, but is considered safe to drink and use for cooking. However, if any iron in your water is a concern to you, Filtration Systems White Lake MI products make a good solution.
What if the health department says my water is safe?
Something people should understand about the local water department and health department authorities is that they only deem your water as potable or not potable which means safe to drink. They only do this as long as the water is free from toxins, contaminants, chemicals, parasites, and harmful organisms. They do not deem your water palatable, so it may not taste good even if it is safe.
