Most groundwater contains some iron and manganese which naturally leaches from rocks and soils. Excess amounts in drinking water can cause discolored water, bad bitter tastes, and rust flakes in the water, as well as rusty-brown stains or black specks on fixtures and laundry. Excess amounts may also affect the taste of beverages and can build up deposits in pipes, heaters or pressure tanks. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHydrogen sulfide (H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003eS)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, which causes a \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e“rotten egg” odor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, can also be released from the soil by the same conditions (low dissolved oxygen and low pH) that cause iron and manganese to dissolve in water.

The negative effect of lime scale buildup is that pipes are blocked and the efficiency of hot boilers and tanks is reduced. This increases the cost of domestic water heating by about fifteen to twenty percent. Another negative effect of lime scale is that it has damaging effects on household machinery, such as laundry machines. Water softening means expanding the lifespan of household machines, and the lifespan of pipelines. It also contributes to the improved working and longer lifespan of solar heating systems, air conditioning units and many other water-based applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWATER TRAVELS THROUGH \u003cstrong\u003e4 STAGES\u003c\/strong\u003e OF FILTRATION\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStage 1:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Water flows through a 20” sediment cartridge that removes sediment, silt, sand and dirt.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStage 2:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Water flows through a \u003cstrong\u003eiron, manganese and hydrogen sulfide-reducing mineral tank.\u003c\/strong\u003e In addition, we add our medias, ERA® 6500 \u0026amp; 9500 to prevent bacteria growth. \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStage 3:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardness in water is removed through our \u003cstrong\u003esoftener filtration\u003c\/strong\u003e media.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStage 4:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Water flows through a 20” solid carbon filter cartridge for removing volatile organic compounds (VOCs), insecticides, pesticides and industrial solvents.*\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional Product Options: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeak Detector Valve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUltraViolet: Specifically designed to meet the demanding microorganism control concern.
