Common Water Problems
The quality of your drinking water should never be taken for granted.
Well water can be affected by many different factors, including odour, and both visible and non-visible contaminants.

If you’ve noticed any of the following qualities in your drinking water, it may be time to consider water treatment options.
Bad taste or smell
This is usually caused by algae, mold, or bacteria living in the water. These organisms can multiply within your plumbing system, causing your water to have an unpleasant taste or smell.
Rotten egg smell
Hydrogen sulfide can make your water taste or smell bad, giving it that ‘rotten egg smell’ that pervades some water from local systems. In some cases, this can even make your water unsafe and unusable.
Taste or smell of chlorine
Not only does chlorine taste and smell bad, it can dry out your skin and hair. Most municipalities use chlorine to disinfect water, but it should be filtered to eliminate these effects.
Cloudy Water
Raw water comes into your home accompanied by any number of potential impurities that can cause turbidity, or cloudiness.
Discolouration
Iron and manganese can leave rust stains on clothing, appliances, and fixtures, and more. It can result in unpleasant smelling water, or water that tastes bad.
Hard Water
Hard water can dry out your skin, make you feel itchy, and make your hair brittle. It causes soap scum build-up in your tub and shower, as well as spots on faucets and fixtures. In addition, hard water can create scaling inside of your appliances, which can result in inefficiency as well as costly repairs.
