Get Water Smart!
Posted: 03.28.2011 at 12:48 PM

Many home owners do not know enough about their water conditioning systems.  Below are the top two frequently asked questions to assist you in maintenance and issues.  

Q. My water tastes bad and looks strange!

A. If you have concerns about your water quality or taste, call Barber-Deline. Whether you have municipally treated or well water, we can test your water for iron, pH level and hardness and propose treatment options. An independent water testing lab can check your well water for bacteria and nitrates. If you have high levels of either, we can recommend solutions to treat these problems. If you already have a water filtering system and your water starts to taste bad or is filled with sediment, it is probably time to change your filter(s). It is recommended that filters be changed once a year. Call Barber-Deline to purchase your replacement filters.

Q. I don't get any soap lather with my water!

A. If your soap does not lather properly and you notice white build up around plumbing fixtures and hard water stains in your toilet, sinks or bathtub, you may have hard water. Water softening equipment can eliminate the white build up on fixtures, prevent hard water stains and extend the life of appliances and your water heater. Whether you have municipally treated or well water, we can test your water for hardness and propose a solution. If you already have a water softening system and your water starts to get hard, check to be certain that you have enough salt in the water softening tank. The amount of salt will depend on the amount of water used in your house and the level of hardness.
