“Can I get properly treated water with just any softener or do I need a special system?”
Water quality can vary from state to state – even from well to well in the same neighborhood. That’s why we recommend testing your water before purchasing any water treatment system.
That is also why Water-Right® manufactures a broad line of water conditioning systems and filters. Each is designed to effectively treat different water problems. Our wide choice of proven systems makes it easy to match the right system to your specific water quality needs. And you’ll never have to pay for more “system” than you need.
“Can bacteria really be growing in my present household water system?”
Yes. Iron and sulfur bacteria can enter your household plumbing from a well. Once introduced, this bacteria usually remains and multiplies in water softener beds and other plumbing fixtures. The result can be unwanted odors, along with red, slimy stains on plumbing fixtures.
For this type of water, Water-Right® has developed a single-system solution capable of sanitizing its media bed with every regeneration.
“I’ve read about arsenic and lead in ground water. Is there anything I can do to protect my family from these contaminants?”
Regional testing continues to reveal ground water contamination of all kinds. Even municipal water supplies are not immune to treatment failures or accidental contamination.
Your best safeguard against contaminants is a Point-of-Use water treatment system. Not all systems, however, remove the same contaminants. Examine this detail – and any product certifications – before buying.
“How safe is water direct from the tap?”
Water doesn’t have to taste or smell bad to contain harmful toxic chemicals. Water treatment facilities are geared solely for the prevention of waterborne diseases. In addition, the chlorine added to water by treatment plants can react with organic matter present to form toxic, carcinogenic organic compounds known as Trihalomethanes (THMs).
A recent Environmental Protection Agency survey identified over 700 potentially hazardous chemicals in the U.S. water supplies.
