Municipal water derived from a public source is drinkable, and you can bathe and wash things in it, but it’s lacking many of the qualities that make water delicious for your daily life.
Two of those qualities are freedom from impurities and hardness, both of which are reasons more and more Bartow, FL, homeowners are considering water filtration systems and water softeners.
Tri-Florida Water Treatment installs top-line water purification systems and water softeners throughout the Bartow, FL, area and in all of Polk County, FL. Here’s some helpful information about the many advantages of having these systems installed in your home.
Solutions for Impure Water
“Impure water” describes water that contains any number of contaminants. Municipal water, by law, must meet minimum (acceptable) levels of these contaminants, but water purification systems remove virtually all traces of them.
It’s not hard to find out what’s in your water. You can do a water test or have us do it. Many of our customers are surprised to discover that, while their water looks okay, there’s a lot of stuff in it that they’d rather not drink or bathe with.
Contaminants often found in water from municipal sources include:
- Fluoride
- Radium
- Arsenic
- Hepatitis A virus
- E. coli bacteria
- Pesticides
- Calcium and magnesium (see below under “Hard Water Solutions”)
- Pharmaceuticals
and many other impurities.
Reverse Osmosis
A whole-house water filtration system for your Bartow, FL, home will remove up to 99% of contaminants, delivering water that looks great, tastes delicious, is gentler on your skin and hair, and is less likely to trigger certain allergies.
A reverse osmosis system is your best choice. It works by pushing water through a special membrane that traps contaminants and allows clean, natural water to pass through.
Whole-house filtering treats all the municipal water or well water that enters your home through faucets and water lines.
Solutions for Hard Water Issues in Bartow, FL
What we call “hard water” is water with excess calcium and magnesium ions, which can cause strong odors and an unappealing taste.
Hard water is responsible for the limescale buildup around faucets and in plumbing pipes that frustrate homeowners in Bartow, FL, who have to deal with it regularly. The buildup is ugly, and it can damage pipes and “freeze” plumbing connections together, making them difficult or impossible to take apart.
Another problem with hard water is that it reduces soap's sudsiness, resulting in lower soap efficiency when bathing, cleaning around the house, and washing clothes.
Testing Your Water
Before installing a water purifier or water softener, we’ll test your water to determine its composition. When we share the test findings with our Bartow, FL, and Polk County, FL, customers, they’re often amazed – and sometimes a little upset – to learn what they’ve been drinking all these years.
The water test will help you decide if it’s time to move up to a water treatment system or water softener, both of which we can custom-install for you.
