Most of us have no idea what toxins may be in our water. The water system installation specialists at Luisier Drilling in Oconto Falls, WI, are trained to detect if the quality of your water systems have been compromised. Having been in business for over 75 years, these water quality specialists have made it their goal to provide safe water for every customer.

When it comes to water quality, here are just a few of the most common water quality issues that can be found via testing:

• Arsenic: Odorless and tasteless, this semi-metal element can seep into water supplies from the earth’s natural deposits or through industrial and agricultural practices. If the water has been tainted with arsenic, consumers can experience skin discoloration, nausea and vomiting. Arsenic has also been linked to several forms of cancer including bladder, kidneys, liver and lungs.
• Bacteria: E.coli in the water system may indicate the presence of fecal contamination. Infected water can cause diarrhea, fever, nausea and vomiting.
• Iron: Of all the water quality concerns, iron is considered to be one of the most troublesome. It can seep into aquifers that serve as groundwater sources for wells. The presence of iron can cause water to turn a reddish brown color.
• Lead: In Wisconsin, most water is corrosive enough to dissolve some amount of lead. The danger occurs when water stands for extended periods, leading to large concentrations of lead contaminated water.
• Sulfur: If your water has a rotten egg smell, it is usually caused by the presence of hydrogen sulfide gas, commonly known as sulfur. It is highly corrosive and can damage plumbing connections.

These are just a few of the water quality concerns you should know about.
