Are you concerned you may have hazardous contaminants in the water you're consuming? Does your tap water taste like chemicals? There are many signs that you have poor water quality. Luckily, there are ways to resolve that. Getting rid of bacteria and toxins in your water can improve the taste, smell, and water supply. Not only that, but it can also help reduce expensive and the carbon footprint related to bottled water.
Here are the signs to look for that will indicate an issue with your water quality.
A metallic or bitter taste when you take a sip of your water could be due to a number of different things, including:
Tap water that tastes metallic can not only be unappealing, but it can also be harmful to your health - especially if the cause of the metallic taste is due to the presence of metals, like lead, zinc, or copper. The best way to remove the metallic taste and the worry is to invest in professional water conditioning solutions.
There's nothing like turning on the shower after a long day at work, only to have extremely low water pressure. Low water pressure can be caused by a number of things, but one of the causes is from corroded plumbing. This often happens with older, galvanized iron pipes. If your water is acidic and has low pH levels, it can cause corrosion, which in turn causes small holes and leaks in your pipes. This means that the water is escaping before it ever reaches your faucet, which is why you're noticing the drop in water pressure. To see if this is the cause of your low water pressure, you can have your water tested. If your water comes back as being contaminated and toxic, then a water conditioning solution may just be what's in the cards for you next.
Water shouldn't have a smell. However, if your water smells like chlorine, sulfur, or detergent, then you may want to consider having your water tested and conditioned. While small traces of sulfur, chlorine, and detergent aren't necessarily harmful to your health, large traces can be. Not only that, but bad smelling water can just be unappealing altogether. We don't blame you if you have a hard time swallowing a glass of water that smells like rotten eggs or a swimming pool!
If your water appears murky, tinted, or oily, then you have poor water quality. Drinking water should always be clear. Unclear water can signal the presence of unsafe contaminants, which can be resolved using a water conditioning system in your home.
