Most people living throughout the state of Wisconsin, and also throughout the United States, have grown up with safe drinking water. This is true for both municipal water supplies as well as for those in more rural areas with their own wells.
However, water can be considered safe by specific standards and still contain a range of different possible issues and potential health concerns. Hiring a top company like Schaefer’s Soft Water to complete residential water testing is a simple way to check the hardness of the water and to also identify any other potential issues that may be present.
What is Hard Water?
Throughout the West Bend, WI, area, as well as in cities and rural areas nearby, hard water is a real concern. Bringing in a professional service to complete residential water testing allows the water to be analyzed for hardness as well as for any type of contaminants such as lead, copper and other potentially harmful substances, included E. coli bacteria.
Hard water is water that contains a high level of minerals. These minerals are dissolved in the water as it moves through down through the soil. The most common minerals include calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate, and they are not considered harmful to people, but they can be very damaging to plumbing fixtures.
Hard water tends to feel different, and it tends to react poorly with soap, while also leaving a film on your skin. Soap scum residue, deposits in all plumbing fixtures as well as stains and off tastes and smells to the water are all signs of hard water problems combined with other minerals or possible gases or bacteria.
Through water testing, a company in West Bend, WI, can pinpoint the issues with the water supply. They can then install water softeners, filters and treatment systems to eliminate the problem.
At Schaefer’s Soft Water, we can provide effective residential water testing services and solutions to correct any issues. To find out more, see us online at schaeferssoftwater.com.
