Solutions to Common Water Problems | Aquarius Home Services

Understanding Your Water Quality Challenges

The quality of water in our homes is crucial for our health, comfort, and the longevity of our appliances. Unfortunately, many households face water quality issues due to contaminants like hard minerals, iron, chlorine, PFAS/PFOA, sulfur, arsenic, manganese, tannins, and harmful microorganisms. These elements can affect everything from the taste and appearance of your water to causing damage to plumbing and appliances, or posing health risks. Discover how to identify and fix these common water issues to ensure your water is clean, safe, and pleasant to use.

Hard Water

Hard water dries out skin and makes hair brittle. It causes soap scum in tubs and showers and spots on faucets and fixtures. It also causes scaling (off-white, chalky deposits) in appliances, which results in less efficiency and costly repairs.

Learn How to Fix It

Iron in Water

Iron in your home’s water can produce an orange color and taste bad. In addition to leaving rust stains in your sinks, toilets and fixtures, iron can make water, coffee and tea taste metallic.

Learn How to Fix It

Chlorine in Water

The taste and smell of chlorine are unappealing and can also dry out your skin and hair. While municipalities use chlorine to disinfect the water supply, it should be filtered out before you use it to eliminate these effects.

Learn How to Fix It

PFAS & PFOA

Chemicals from the production of consumer products have tainted groundwater in many communities. Kinetico is the only treatment system that can effectively eliminate PFAS and PFOA from your drinking water.

Learn How to Fix It

Sulfur in Water

Hydrogen sulfide can give your drinking water an unpleasant taste and smell, sometimes even rendering it unusable. Fortunately, a good water filter can help to remove hydrogen sulfide from your plumbing.

Learn How to Fix It

Arsenic in Water

Arsenic in your drinking water can be a serious problem over time. It is very important that you test your water to know how much arsenic may be present. Arsenic is prominent in well water across the region and occurs naturally.

Learn How to Fix It

Manganese in Water

Manganese may harm brain development in infants and younger children. Manganese can also cause discoloration, laundry and appliance staining, and an unpleasant taste in your water.

Learn How to Fix It

Tannins in Water

Tannins in drinking water can leave a funny aftertaste. Tannins are commonly found in well water in rural areas and are caused by decaying vegetation seeping into the groundwater.

Bacteria & Viruses

Make sure that your drinking water is 100% free from bacteria, viruses, and other single-cell organisms. Our water treatment products can safeguard against the tiniest microbes and microorganisms.

Our furnace wasn’t working so we called Aquarius. Within a short amount of time we had a technician here working on it . He had to make a couple of trips to get new parts but had it up and running. It’s so nice to stay warm again!

Aquarius came to our house the day after Thanksgiving to replace our water heater that had quit working the night before. The cost of the new water heater was very reasonable. Cam and Joe arrived and replaced our water heater quickly, and got us back to having hot water. In addition, another issue was noted and Cam came back the following Monday to repair that as well. Cam took charge with the city employees, who didn’t seem to want to do their part. Cam was no nonsense with the city employees and saved us over $300. I am so appreciative of Cam for taking charge. The problem was fixed. He told me what to look out for and I highly, highly, highly recommend Aquarius and Cam and Joe.

Thank you Michael for the quick and trouble free removal of our old Kinetico well water softener and the installation of our new Kinetico well water softener system. Thanks for taking the time to explain the new system including the valve system and how to easily change the water filter. We have been a customer of Aquarius Home Services for over 33 years and have always been very satisfied with their friendly and prompt services.Thank you Kong for your expertise and excellent customer service diagnosing the hardness and iron coming from my well water and also thoroughly testing my Kinetico water softener. All of your help including showing me the proper way to change the filter in the unit is greatly appreciated.

I called several plumbers and Aquarius was the only one who squeezed me in at the end of a day before a holiday weekend. Stephen came and looked over the multiple issues I had and walked me through the different options of repairing or replacing. Within an hour, my problem was fixed. He was professional, knowledgeable and pleasant. I know who to call right away the next time I need a plumber or drain specialist. Thanks, Aquarius!

I would recommend Aquarius Home Services to everyone for water treatment. Craig was able to come in the evening to fit our schedules when all the “other guys” only do daytime appointments. Alex was great on the install. He was able to make it out the next day, and got our Kinetico water softener and K5 drinking water filter setup and rocking just in time for Thanksgiving. 10/10, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, 👍👍.
