Before & After Photos

The homeowner recently moved into their new property and noticed a metallic taste and odor in their water. While a professional-grade water softener is capable of handling up to 2 ppm of ferrous iron, this particular home had 0.5 ppm.  The source of the metallic taste and odor is often due to the limitations of box-store water softeners, which are not effective at removing iron. Installing an iron filter will significantly improve the water quality eliminating the undesirable taste and smell. For homeowners transitioning from city water to well water, even small amounts of iron can noticeably affect the taste and smell of the water.

Additionally, the homeowner requested a reverse osmosis (RO) system for drinking water. This system will provide purified water that's ideal for drinking, cooking, and washing vegetables--ensuring high-quality water for everyday use.

The customer recognized that her water softener was nearing the end of its lifespan and decided it was time to upgrade to a more efficient system. Our project coordinator assessed the situation and recommended not only replacing the water softener but also installing an iron filter. This addition will reduce the frequency of regeneration, leading to long-term savings on salt.

During the visit, our project coordinator also conducted a thorough inspection of the home and discovered iron bacteria in the back of several toilets, evident by a slimy unusual buildup. To address this issue, he suggested the installation of a hydrogen peroxide injection system which will effectively eliminate the bacteria and improve overall water quality.

This homeowner was in the process of remodeling their kitchen and bathrooms and wanted to protect their investment by installing a water softener. Their previous softener was outdated and no longer effective as evidenced by significant iron staining, unpleasant odors, and calcium buildup on fixtures. After conducting a thorough water test, our project coordinator confirmed that a water softener was the right solution. However, it was also noted that the water had a sulfur smell, which indicated the need for an additional iron filter to address this issue.

Given the number of ongoing projects, the homeowner inquired about the possibility of installing the softener first and adding the iron filter at a later date. Our project coordinator assured them that this would be a viable option, providing flexibility to meet their needs.

Upon transitioning from city water to a well, this homeowner immediately noticed a significant difference in water quality. Their well water contained high levels of iron which made bathing uncomfortable and created an unpleasant metallic taste and odor when drinking. Initially, the homeowner had a whole-home water filtration system installed which is designed primarily for city water to address chlorine taste and odors. While this system has some capacity to remove small amounts of iron and hardness, it was insufficient to fully eliminate its effects.

To resolve the issue, the homeowner replaced the existing filtration system with a professional-grade water softener and iron filter. This upgrade provided the homeowner with clean water, eliminating the unpleasant odor and taste. Additionally, the water became soft, offering a significant improvement in both water quality and overall satisfaction.

Customer had been on city water for years and bought a home on well water. After living there for a while, she could not handle the sulfur smell from the water and refused to drink it. Started buying a lot of bottled water for them to drink instead. 

A Project Coordinator went out to her home and tested the water. They found that there was definitely a sulfur smell coming from the water as well as 2.5 ppm of iron. The current softener was older but taking care of the iron. The homeowner was remodeling a lot of the home, including the bathrooms and kitchen eventually. She decided to go with rental units from us. We installed an EVRS-1044 water softener, an EVFE-1054 iron filter for the sulfur and iron, and an UltroWater Reverse Osmosis drinking system, that we also set up to be installed to the fridge when she gets a new one. 

Her water will no longer smell, and she can be confident in drinking the water she is giving to her family.
