Why Does Your Water Quality Matter?

When most people think about water quality, they only consider the water they drink and cook with. The fact is that most of the water we use is not consumed, but used for tasks like cleaning dishes, washing clothes and bathing. If your water is not of good quality, you could be harming your water pipes, shortening the lifespan of water-using appliances, and even drying out your hair and skin. To learn more about the quality of your water, schedule a water test.

Hard Water

When water travels through the ground, it picks up minerals like calcium and magnesium. These minerals dissolve in water and make water hard. Hard water can cause problems for both you and your home. If your water is even slightly hard your water-using appliances can be damaged by scale buildup shortening their lifespan. Hard water also stains sinks and showers and leaves hard water spots on dishes and silverware. It can also affect you. Your skin can dry out when you bathe and wash your hands. Your hair can become dull and brittle, causing it to tangle and become more difficult to manage.

Water hardness is measured in grains per gallon. If your water measures at one grain per gallon of hardness, it is hard. Water 10 grains per gallon or more is considered very hard.

Nitrates

Child looking into glass of contaminated water

One of the unseen water contaminants found in Strongsville water is nitrate. Nitrate often finds its way into city water supplies through agricultural runoff, industrial processes, and wastewater discharge. The city of Strongsville has both urban and rural settings, meaning that runoff and improper wastewater discharge contribute to increased nitrate levels. Farms frequently use nitrogen-based fertilizers to boost crop growth, and when it rains, excess fertilizer can wash into nearby rivers, streams, and groundwater sources. Septic systems and wastewater treatment plants can also contribute nitrates to water systems when improperly maintained. Additionally, urban stormwater runoff containing organic waste or industrial byproducts can further elevate nitrate levels in municipal water sources. Once introduced into the water supply, nitrates can persist because they are highly soluble and do not readily degrade.

To help reduce the amounts of nitrate in your drinking water, we suggest installing our K5 Drinking Water Station. With the multi-stage filtration and modular filter set-up, the K5 is highly effective at reducing the levels of nitrate and other contaminants found in your water.
