Here in the Kinetico of the Quad Cities community, a variety of factors can affect how water tastes, smells, and feels. That’s why we test your water before we recommend how to treat it properly. Here are a few of the problems we commonly see and treat.
Common Water Problems
HARD WATER
Hard water dries out skin and makes hair brittle. It causes soap scum in tubs and showers and spots on faucets and fixtures. It also causes scaling in appliances, which results in less efficiency and costly repairs. We recommend the Kinetico Premier series to solve your hard water issues.
IRON AND MANGANESE
Iron and manganese can leave rust stains on clothing, appliances, and fixtures. What’s more, these metals can make your water taste and smell bad. We recommend the Kinetico Backwash filter model number 2060F or 2100F depending on the water demand.
“ROTTEN EGG SMELL”
Iron and manganese can leave rust stains on clothing, appliances, and fixtures. What’s more, these metals can make your water taste and smell bad. We recommend the Kinetico sulfur guard filter.
CHLORINE TASTE OR SMELL
The taste and smell of chlorine are unappealing and can also dry out your skin and hair. While municipalities use chlorine to disinfect the water supply, it should be filtered out before you use it to eliminate these effects. We recommend the Kinetico Dechlorinator Water Filter.
CLOUDY WATER
Raw water comes into your home with any number of impurities that cause turbidity. We recommend the Kinetico Backwash filter model number 2060F or 2100F depending on the water demand.
MUSTY, EARTHY, FISHY TASTE, OR SMELL?
Caused by algae, molds, and bacteria that live in water and can multiply within a home’s plumbing system. We recommend the Kinetico Dechlorinator Water Filter.
