Water Softeners
|
|
|
Water Softeners come in all shapes and sizes and price
ranges. Things to consider when buying a water softener are:
|
-
Available Space
Full size units need more space such as a basement
Homes with limited space can utilize an
under-the-counter softener
-
Capacity
Testing must be done to determine how hard the
water
is -- the harder the water, the less capacity will be
available before having to regenerate the softener
|
|
- Efficiency
Water softeners vary widely in
efficiency
Some use up to 5 times as much salt and water per regeneration as more
efficient softeners.
Water Softeners are a long-term investment and differences in
efficiency alone could pay for the differences of up-front costs in a
few years

Most units feature Eco Water Automated Service Evaluation (EASE). These
EASE equipped units can be linked to our computer via telephone to print
out complete past history and self diagnostics of the system to the
present.

| Residential Reverse Osmosis Units |
|
When water comes into your home it has two basic
uses: Consumption and everything else. Obviously, we all want
the water we drink to be of better quality than the water we use to wash
our car or even to do the laundry. Whether it is from a public
source or a private well, the quality of the water coming into your house
is only OK. Considering that only 1/2 of 1 percent of all public
water produced is used for consumption, the mathematics and economics of
that fact alone guarantee that water quality will not be much better than
the minimum allowed. By removing hardness from the water,
water softeners produce water that is good for your house. But, soft
water has additional sodium in it which is not necessarily good for
everyone to drink. Reverse Osmosis (RO) is a very low-energy method
for removing almost everything from water that is not water. The result is some of the best drinking water available right from a tap
on your kitchen sink.

Ultraviolet (UV) Disinfection
Systems |
|
|
|
|
|
Ultraviolet sterilizers are
used for the treatment of bacteria in well water systems. They
operate at 254 nanometer ultraviolet wavelength and are available by
required flow rate. Bulbs need to be changed annually. Units
should be made of stainless steel. Pre-filters and alarms are
optional but recommended.

Feed Pumps |
|
|
| In
most cases acid water is not hard. Injection pumps are a fully
adjustable way to treat pH that does not add any hardness to the water
like an acid neutralizer.
