Common water problems in the Black Hills
Cloudy Water
The problem: Cloudy water isn’t quite crystal clear and looks hazy in a glass. If you have well water, cloudy water could be a result of rainwater in your water supply.
The solution: Filter AG uses crystalline quartz to remove any impurities and suspended minerals from your water in your commercial or residential property.
Rotten Egg Smell
The problem: If your water smells like rotten eggs, it’s likely due to hydrogen sulfide gas. Sulfur bacteria is generally not harmful, but you should still be sure bacteria aren’t present.
The solution: KDFA and calgon centaur carbon treatments work together in your water supply to remove hydrogen sulfide and prohibit bacterial growth.
Rust-Colored Staining
The problem: If your water supply comes into contact with iron or manganese before it reaches your taps, you might notice rust-color stains around your sink and shower drains, on your clothes, and around the waterline of your toilets.
The solution: Manganese Greensand Treatment. This treatment controls levels of iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide in your water and helps lessen staining in your home.
Blue/green staining
The problem: Water with a low pH level (also known as acidic water) is common in areas that experience acid rain, chemical runoff, and environmental pollution, such as areas near power plants, landfills, and animal farms.
The solution: pH Control Treatment – A mix of calcium carbonate and magnesium oxide can be used to correct low pH and protect your plumbing fixtures from damage over time in your home.
Metallic taste
The problem: A metallic taste can indicate the presence of metals like iron, copper, manganese, or zinc in your water supply – which occur naturally in groundwater or can be caused by plumbing corrosion.
The solution: Manganese Greensand Treatment – This treatment controls levels of iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide in your home’s water supply.
Chlorine taste or smell
The problem: Chlorine or chloramine is used to kill harmful bacteria in water treatment facilities and in water distribution systems. But if it reaches your home’s water supply, you might notice a pool smell or taste, as well as dry skin and faded laundry.
The solution: Activated Carbon Treatment is effective at removing chlorine and can provide years of trouble-free chemical removal.
Discolored water
The problem: If you notice a yellow to dark brown tint to your tap water, it’s most likely caused by tannins – natural organic material that filters through your soil.
The solution: Ion Exchange Treatment – Tannins are removed from water using an ion exchange process that uses salt. While this treatment is similar to that of a water softener, it is not designed to soften your water.
Hard water
The problem: High levels of calcium and magnesium make water “hard” and can make your skin itchy, your hair dull and tangly, your dishes and clothing hard to clean, and your faucets and fixtures stained with limescale deposits.
The solution: Our water softeners use an ion exchange process to remove calcium and magnesium so your water is more hydrating and no longer leaves scaly deposits on you and your home.
