Common Water Problems
Hard Water
Hard water has a high mineral content. This will create scale on faucets, glass and water appliaces, like dishwaters and waters heaters, shortening their worklife
Chlorine
Chlorine is a common disinfectant used by water utilities to remove bacterial contaminants. It can be unpleasant and potentially unsafe to consume and a skin irritant.
Metals
Iron, manganese, lead, copper, nikel, chromium and other metals occur in drinking water naturally and through polution. These can bioaccumulate, leadin to detraimental health impacts.
H2S
Hydrogen Sulphide is a colorless gas with a stong odor of rotten eggs. When found in water it is typocally the product of the bacterial breakdown of organic materials as well as human and animal waste.
Low PH
Hard water has a high mineral content. This will create scale on faucets, glass and water appliaces, like dishwaters and waters heaters, shortening their worklife
Nitrates

Microbes
