Before iron removal:
The most common occurance of iron in domestic water supplies is in the private well. If the total iron level in water is 0.3 ppm or above it can cause staining.
Iron can appear as rust particles in older piping systems.
After iron removal:
Water using appliances last longer. Improved water quality reduces appliance service calls. Increased PH reduces potential for corrosion.
Hair and skin feel cleaner when washed in iron-free water.
Clothing does not become stained with iron-free water
Before acid neutralization: Acid can cause leaks in water pipes and corrosion of metal fixtures. Acid water can cause blue/green staining on fixtures. Acid water can attack and dissolve heavy metals such as lead in water pipes. High levels of lead in drinking water have been linked to learning deficiencies in young children. After acid neutralization: Water using appliances last longer. Improved water quality reduces appliance service calls. Corrosion of metallic piping is reduced Clothing and fibers do not abrade due to acd water condtions. The metallic and bitter taste in drinking water is reduced.
Blue/green staining on fixtures is reduced.
After hardness removal: Water - using appliances last longer. Softened water maintains enery efficiency. Skin and hair washed in soft water look and feel better. Faucet fixtures don't look spotted. Clothing looks cleaner with reduced fading and fabric abrasion. Clothing life can be prolonged as much as 15% Soap and detergent consuption can be substantially reduced. Dishes and glasses look cleaner and brighter. Before hardness removal: Over 70% of water supplies in the U.S. can be classified as hard to very hard. It is estimated that the equivalent of nearly 90 pounds of solid rock is brought into the average home by hard water each year. 1/2" of scale caused by hard water will increase energy costs by 60-70 % and cause shortend appliance life. Hard water can cause skin and hair to dry out. Colors fade faster in hard water.
