Contaminants Frequently Found in Drinking Water
What Is Lurking In Your Water?
You’ve likely come across news reports highlighting contaminants found in drinking water, such as the elevated lead levels in Flint, Michigan. However, it’s essential to recognize that these impurities can emerge unexpectedly and in any location, including Jackson. Although the health hazards associated with heavy metals and bacteria typically manifest after prolonged exposure, it’s evident that consuming substances like heavy metals or E. coli is undesirable.
Below are several contaminants that a water filtration or purification system can effectively eliminate:
- Aluminum
- Arsenic
- Bacteria
- Chromium
- Copper
- Fluoride
- Lead
- Lithium
- Viruses
- Beryllium
- Cadmium
- Manganese
- Thalium
- Zinc
- Pesticides
- Herbicides
- Radon
Symptoms resulting from exposure to certain contaminants can vary, encompassing damage to the brain, liver, circulatory system, and kidneys.
Signs You Need A Water Filtration Or Purification System
Not all water issues are as readily noticeable as issues like iron or acidity. Some problems can be subtle and insidious, gradually becoming normalized through long-term exposure. In such cases, water testing becomes crucial for identifying underlying issues. To assess whether you could benefit from our water filtration and purification services, pay attention to:
- Bathtub and sink staining
- Sediment buildup on faucets and pipes
- Dingy whites
- Spots on glassware
- The smell of chlorine
- Tangled, coarse hair
- Dry skin
- Cloudy tap water
- Discolored or brown water
- A noticeable smell or taste difference
Water Filtration/Purification Solutions
Solution 1: Whole House Water Filtration
While certain companies may advocate for drinking water filtration systems, we believe that solution falls short. Water isn’t just for drinking—it’s also used for bathing and cooking. That’s why we advocate for the installation of whole-house water filtration systems in the Jackson and Albion areas.
It’s important to highlight that whole-home filters do not address scale buildup or rust problems. For these issues, a water softener is necessary. Water filtration mediums encompass a variety of materials, such as coconut shells, carbon, and sand.
- A longer life for your faucets, pipes, and fixtures
- Healthier and less-wrinkled skin
- Purified water when and where you want it
- Improved food and beverage flavor
- Eliminates parasites like giardia
- Less money wasted on bottled water
- Reduction in chlorine and carbon-based compounds
Solution 2: Water Purification (Reverse Osmosis)
More intricate than simple water filters, reverse osmosis systems are multi-step devices designed for water purification. Initially, water passes through a filter to eliminate chlorine and particulate matter. Subsequently, it traverses a semi-permeable membrane to extract solid particulates. These waste products are expelled through a drain, while the purified water progresses into a filter tank. Finally, an activated carbon filter addresses any odor or taste concerns.
The primary drawback of reverse osmosis units is their cost. However, their portability between homes makes them a valuable long-term investment in your plumbing system, maximizing your return on investment.
The advantages of water purification systems include:
- Gives you constant access to purified water
- Eliminates a wider variety of solids than simple filters
- Improves the flavor of beverages and food
- Great for aquariums and those with allergies
- Provides almost total chlorine elimination
- Helps your pipes, faucets, and fixtures last longer

Plumbing Tips From The Experts
Frequently Asked Questions
Why Do I Need a Plumber to Clear a Clogged Drain?
Chemical drain cleaners can be dangerous and we do not recommend their use in household drains for several reasons. The heat generated by the caustic and acidic cleaners can damage your pipes, especially older pipes, and they can become weakened and crack over time. Regular use can lead to expensive repairs down the line because damaged pipes are more susceptible to leaking or even bursting. Our expert plumbers in Jackson have the proper equipment and knowledge to assess your clog and get your pipes running smoothly quickly! Call us today at (517) 750-9913!
What Are The Signs Of A Plumbing Leak?
Some plumbing leaks can be hard to detect, especially if they are behind your walls or in the ceiling. While small leaks may not necessarily indicate a large issue, over time they can cause a lot of damage, far beyond just your plumbing by causing mold and damage to your drywall and subflooring. Below are just a few indications that you might have a plumbing leak:
- Your water bills are increasing but your water usage is staying the same
- You are seeing discoloration or staining on the walls or on your ceiling
- Reduced water pressure unexpectedly
- Strange sounds in your walls near where pipes run

How Can I Prevent Frozen Water Pipes?
What Shouldn’t I Put Down My Sink?
Whether it’s your kitchen, bathroom or laundry sink, it’s important to be mindful of what you put down the drain. Substances such as grease, flour, oils, caustic chemicals and other sticky substances should not go down your drain. Over time, they may cause a clog which will slow down your drains and could cause serious plumbing complications. Be sure to dispose of these liquids properly to ensure your drains and pipes are running smooth for years to come.
How Do Roots Get Into My Pipes?
Over time, roots can enter your in-ground pipes either through a cracked pipe or broken pipe connection. The roots follow water the water and oxygen and they can cause extensive pipe damage and clogs. Our expert plumbers and drain cleaning and jetting experts at Aspen Plumbing Services have the knowledge and equipment to remove the roots and repair or replace the pipe. If you expect your pipes may have roots, call us today at (517) 750-9913.
Why Won't My Toilet Stop Running?
Have you flushed the toilet just to come back later and find it still running? This is a common occurrence especially in homes with older toilets because over time the flapper loses its water-tight seal around the flush-valve opening allowing water to continue to flow into the toilet bowl from the tank. This can be very costly and cause your water meter or well-pump to run excessively. If your toilet looks to be in need of repair or replacement, call Aspen Plumbing Services today.
