Iron – Hydrogen Sulfide (sulfur)-Hard Water Spots-High Energy Bills Iron causes stains in faucets, sinks, bathtubs, counter surfaces, appliances and even clothing. Having Sheffield Pump Service install a home water conditioner can eliminate this issue.
Smelly Water?
Hydrogen Sulfide may be the culprit. Water absorbs this gas as it passes through the ground. When you turn on your faucet, you actually expel and inhale the gas from your tap water. The result is “rotten egg” odor from your water.
Hydrogen sulfide can be treated with oxidation and filtration. Oxidation turns the gas into basic sulfur that can then be removed via filtration. An aeration system injects air into the water to oxidize the gas. The water then passes through a filter that removes the sulfur.
Hard Water Spots
Hard water results from high levels of calcium and magnesium in your water supply. It is the most common water problem in North America and can cause more problems than just spotty glasses, shower walls and vehicles.
Hard water requires more soap and cleaning products.
It also causes higher energy bills .
Hard water shortens the life of your water-using appliances such as water heaters, dishwashers, coffee makers. Over time the heating elements in your water heater get coated with minerals from your hard water. They can form a thick pile of mineral sludge in the bottom of your water heater reducing its efficiency.
