water problems

Common Water Problems in the Centre County Area

Centre County water is as varied as the terrain. Much of the water is hard to very hard.

HARD WATER
Mineral deposits, especially on stainless steel sinks and around faucets, clogged shower heads, bathtub rings, spotting on glassware, premature failure of heating elements.
IRON, manganese, Arsenic
Orange or black stains in your white laundry, fixtures, sinks, toilets, a metallic taste in the water or an orange or black film at the bottom of your water glass if it stands overnight.
SULFUR (HYDROGEN SULFIDE)
Smells like rotten eggs—levels change regularly as rainfall and barometric pressure changes. Stagnant water in pipes, like in rarely used bathrooms, may smell worse due to gas build-up.
BACTERIA
Can take many forms, one common symptom is a slimy build-up in the toilet tank, some types can cause water to taste and smell bad, and some (like e. coli) can cause serious health problems.
CHLORINE
Commonly used as a disinfectant in municipal water systems, but can also make water smell and taste bad, can contribute to dry eyes and skin irritations, fade color in clothing and degrade rubber seals in plumbing.
NITRATES
Typically caused by the use of fertilizers that run-off or seep into the groundwater, nitrates can cause your blood to lose oxygen and has been linked with blue-baby syndrome.
ACID WATER
Corrosive water that can eat away at chrome fixtures, copper pipes, fittings, glassware, appliances, and the metal parts of water-using appliances, often seen as blue-green stains on sinks and tubs.
BAD TASTE
Causes may include chlorine and chlorine compounds in city water or decaying organic matter, dissolved gases or minerals, pipes in the ground, hydrogen sulfide, iron, total dissolved solids (TDS), bacteria or chemicals.
PHARMACEUTICALS
Our bodies absorb some of our medications, but the rest passes through and is flushed down the toilet—most water treatments do not remove all drug residues and the remainder is discharged into reservoirs and waterways.
TURBIDITY
Occurs when dirt, sand or other organics enter the water supply, may be seen at the bottom of the water glass when left to sit overnight, and can lead to clogging and wear on valves, seals and washers.
TOXIC CHEMICALS
Toxic chemicals may enter drinking water from leaking storage run-off, leaking landfills, toxic dumps and spills, and may have been used in farming before it was known to be harmful.
METHANE
Can occur naturally in some aquifers and can be identified through odor and effervescence (fine stream of bubbles) as water exits the faucet and may cause the water to be flammable.

Filtration / Drinking Water

All drinking systems will typically consist of a carbon media to remove tastes, odors and organic chemicals from water. Other types of filtration may be incorporated with carbon to remove cysts and bacteria. Note that carbon-based filters should not be used with untreated water (non-municipal sources) as carbon media can be an excellent breeding ground for micro- biologicals.

Types of filters

Pitcher-style filters

Typically consists of carbon-based media where you pour the water into the top of the pitcher and the water will filter through to the basin of the pitcher after several minutes. Removes taste and odors but should not be used with non-municipal sources. While the initial cost of this system is low, filters need to be changed often, which can make this system expensive over time.

Refrigerator filters

Typically consists of carbon-based filters that will supply water to your icemaker and cold-water dispenser on the exterior of the unit. The majority of these are not rated for microbiological removal and should not be used with non-municipal water sources as this could cause bacterial growth and make your water less pure.

Cartridge filters

This is the most common filtration and is used to filter out sediment, chlorine, and other contaminants. They typically come as string-wound, pleated, molded block or granular activated filters.

Reverse Osmosis filters

Consist of sediment filtration, carbon filtration, and membrane technology, like Ecowater’s ERO 385. These systems are typically point of use with a dedicated faucet and provide all of the benefits of carbon filtration, but also filter down to the molecular levels and are able to remove minerals (i.e., sodium, calcium). Some may be rated for microbial removal - read the label to be sure.

Microbial Filtration

Typically point of use like Ecowater's EPS 1000, Specialty Filtration.
