We get literally dozens of these cases some days: Customer: Hi. I purchased a water softener on Amazon along with professional installations. The unit is not cycling. I’ve been trying for a few weeks to reach someone on the Amazon site but no one is replying.  I’ve since had the installer come back out and check to ensure it’s been installed correctly, which was verified.  I think the pr...

You might have acid water if your copper plumbing looks green and corroded, if you sometimes have "pinhole" leaks in your copper plumbing or if you see greenish-blue stains on sinks, faucets, fixtures, or inside your toilet tanks. Any or all of these issues can indicate that you have acid water. Water with a pH of 7.0 is considered to be neutral.  If the pH is above 7.0, the water is considere...

If you are a user of Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2), you already know that it is the best way to oxidize iron and sulfur (hydrogen sulfide).  You have undoubtedly seen the results that it produces by eradication of the iron and sulfur completely.  People are often amazed when water containing high levels of hydrogen sulfide is completely free of the nasty odor after the catalytic process using hydroge...

Hey, I've got news for you - the government will let you down!  I know that shocks people who believe that "cradle-to-grave" stuff, but they will let you down - write it down and count on it!  The latest example is the incredible case of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) who are supposed to be the guardians of our environment, dumping three million gallons (That's 3,000,0...

I am going to tell you about a  job which may not be the worst water we have ever seen, but it is sure in the TOP 20!   This is about a family in Ohio who had arsenic, sulfur, iron and methane in the water, to go along with some typical hardness.  All of those things are problems, but roll them all together and you have a really big problem. Actually, this job came to us via the US EPA (Env...

Nearly everyone we talk to says that they have bad water.  Many say their water is the worst that we can imagine.  While it seems so to many of them, they really have no point of reference as to how bad their water really is.  They just know that they don't like it and that it seems overwhelming to them.  The odds are, you don't have the worst water we can imagine.  We have seen some water th...
