Keep reading to learn about why proper water treatment is so important.

Remove Pollutants

There are different types of water treatment systems that can be installed in your home. Each type of system provides a different type of service, but one thing they all have in common is the ability to clear out harmful pollutants from your water. Water pollutants can come in many forms and from many sources. It’s important to have your water regularly tested so you know exactly what you’re dealing with and which type of water treatment system will be best for you.

Soften Water

Another purpose of water treatment is softening water. Water is considered hard when there is an excess of minerals such as calcium and magnesium in the water. According to the National Institutes of Health, hard water will harm clothing, cause skin problems, and even harm your sinks and appliances if it's circulating through on a regular basis. Having a water softening system can help to change this, extend the life of your plumbing, and protect your skin and hair from damage as well.

Filter Out Iron

High iron content in water can also be dangerous, according to the Department of Health. It can make your water smell bad and leave stains in your tubs and sinks as well as affect your health. Iron water filters are one type of water treatment system that can help.

Remove Contaminants

This type of system uses a semi-permeable membrane to clean water. It can be installed in a bathroom or kitchen sink, showers, or even a fridge for the water dispenser. This type of system will help to remove fluoride, lead, chlorine, pesticides, sulfates, and nitrates. All of these substances are harmful when ingested.

These are just a few important ways that water treatment systems can help you. If you’re looking for water treatment professionals in your area, please contact Sanford Water Works today. Whether your needs are residential, commercial, or industrial, we're here for you!
