3 Signs Your Water Well Treatment System Needs Attention
Having a water well gives you independence and spares you from paying a monthly bill, and in many areas, you may not have a choice. However, because the water comes directly out of the ground, you’ll probably also need a filtration and treatment system to remove dissolved minerals and other materials. Below are some common signs that your well water treatment system needs to be updated, adjusted, or fixed.
3 Signs Your Treatment System Needs Attention
1. Deposits on the Shower Head
Over time, mineral-rich water can cause deposits to accumulate on your shower head, drains, and in the shower door frame. These deposits, which might look like a thin crust of salt, can cause water flow problems, stains, and even permanent damage to your faucets and drains if they are left long enough. A good water softener can remove the lime, calcium, and iron causing these unsightly buildups.
2. Red Slime in the Toilet Tank
Your toilet tank offers some valuable insight into the condition of your plumbing. If you have a lot of iron in your water, you’ll probably find a red, slimy growth attached to the sides of the tank, the arm, and the chain. This is a growth of iron-oxidizing bacteria that, while harmless to humans, can severely damage your plumbing and fixtures.
3. Green Streaks
Groundwater heavy with dissolved copper will leave greenish streaks in your bathtub, toilet, and sink. However, those with blonde hair might notice it first when their hair starts turning green. In addition to the aesthetic problems, overexposure to copper can also cause health issues, so have your water well looked at right away.
