Common Water Problems



Practically every water problem has a solution. To learn more about the problem or problems your water has, and to find a water treatment product or solution to your water problem, click on a link to the left that most closely resembles your problem.

If you are on contaminated, poorly treated or untreated city water, a small community water system, or your own private water system, and suspect a problem may exist but don't know how to identify it, visit our Water Testing Dept. first. Having your water analyzed is the first step in identifying the problem and determining a solution and/or treatment method, especially if your water is from a private (non-municipal) water source.

All city water in the United States and most developed countries must meet very strict guidelines for potabilty and can be considered safe to drink in most cases. Most of the problems our clients see on city water, are related to corroded piping or aging distribution systems, calcium hardness, corrosion problems within the home, or aesthetic problems such as bad tastes or odors.

If you are on city water in the United States, Canada or other developed countries, and want to learn more about your water source or water chemistry, a good place to contact is your local water utility. In the United States, every water utility is required to publish a yearly Consumer Confidence Report or CCR, which describes the sources of your water, the water chemistry, and any problems or violations related to your water. To see if your water system has put their CCR online, go to www.epa.gov/safewater/dwinfo.htm.
