On well water application we are the experts in the field. We can solve iron, sulfur and manganese issues without the use of salt or chemicals. We are the originators of the best chemical and salt free iron filters on the internet and no one still comes close to doing correctly of all the copy cat companies.

Two common minerals in city water—calcium and magnesium—create one of the most notable changes in your tap water—water hardness. These tasteless minerals dissolve in the water and create what is known as hard water. Although hard water poses no health risk, it can create numerous challenges for the consumer. For example, the higher the hardness value, the more effort it takes for soap to perform its cleansing action. In addition to reducing the effectiveness of soap, hard water can leave soap deposits in sinks and leave spots on dishes and glassware. Hard water can also create scaly calcium deposits on faucets, showerheads and evaporative coolers, as well as the inside of pipes, hot water heaters and automatic dishwashers. An ion exchange water softener removes hardness (calcium and magnesium ions) by replacing them with sodium or in some instances potassium. http://www.budgetwater.com/water_softeners.htm If you are on a sodium-restricted diet, you may need the addition of a Reverse Osmosis unit starting at just $199. http://www.budgetwater.com/reverse_osmosis.htm

Well Water: The very best thing to do if you have a private well is follow the instructions under items 7, 16 and 17 on this page: http://www.budgetwater.com/articles.htm

National Secondary Drinking Water Regulations (NSDWRs or secondary standards) are non-enforceable guidelines regulating contaminants that may cause cosmetic effects (such as skin or tooth discoloration) or aesthetic effects (such as taste, odor, or color) in drinking water. EPA recommends secondary standards to water systems but does not require systems to comply.

Microbiological standards allow no more than 5.0% of all samples to test total coliform-positive in a month. (For water systems that collect fewer than 40 routine samples per month, no more than one sample can be total coliform-positive per month.) Every sample that tests positive for total coliform must be analyzed for either fecal coliforms or E. coli. If two consecutive total coliform-positive samples are detected and at least one is also positive for E.coli or fecal coliforms, the system has an acute MCL violation.

Lead and copper are regulated by a Treatment Technique that requires systems to control the corrosiveness of their water. If more than 10% of tap water samples exceed the action level, water systems must take additional steps. For copper, the action level is 1.3 mg/L, and for lead is 0.015 mg/L.
