Water Quality Experts
What’s In Your Water?
Did you know that the EPA has estimated that there are over 60,000 chemicals being used today in the US, but only oversees 91 contaminants? What is even more disturbing is that in 2021, the Environmental Working Group (EWG), a nonprofit environmental advocacy organization, found 324 toxic chemicals in U.S. water supplies!

Water Testing
Why knowing what is in your water can have BIG impacts on your family’s health. Did you know that there are chemicals found in both city and well water sources that are known carcinogens and are linked to numerous health and neurological disorders? Some of these chemicals are extremely dangerous and harmful to humans and may in fact currently be in your home’s water supply. Call the experts at Aspen Soft Water and Aspen Plumbing Services in Jackson County today to schedule your free water test.

Water Softening
Water softeners, remove calcium, magnesium, and other minerals from drinking water. The process works by using resin beads that trap minerals and exchange them for sodium or potassium. When the beads become full of minerals, a concentrated salt or potassium solution removes them. The resulting chloride solution is then drained. Water softeners should be regenerated every two to three days, though highly efficient softeners may generate every day or even multiple times a day. If your softener is running more or less often than every two to three days, call Aspen Plumbing Services to schedule an inspection of your system.
Water Purification/Filtration
Water filtration is the process of removing or reducing the concentration of particulate matter, including suspended particles, parasites, bacteria, algae, viruses, and fungi, as well as other undesirable chemical and biological contaminants from contaminated water to produce safe and clean water for a specific purpose, such as drinking, medical, and pharmaceutical applications. The filtration systems for drinking water usually incorporate a five-stage filtration process: sediment, mechanical, chemical, mineral, and bacterial. The experts at Aspen Plumbing Services can help with all of your water filtration needs.

Water Quality F.A.Q’S
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the Common Signs of Poor Water Quality?
Common signs of poor water quality include an unusual taste or odor, cloudy or discolored water, and the presence of stains on sinks, bathtubs, or laundry. If you notice a metallic or chlorine taste, this could indicate the presence of contaminants like iron or chlorine. Water that smells like rotten eggs may suggest sulfur bacteria or hydrogen sulfide.
Additionally, if your skin feels irritated after showering or if soap doesn’t lather properly, this could indicate high mineral content, like hard water. If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to have your water tested to determine the cause and address the issue.
How Does Chlorine Affect Water Quality?
Chlorine is commonly used in municipal water systems to disinfect water and kill harmful bacteria and viruses. While chlorine plays an important role in ensuring water safety, it can negatively affect water quality by giving it an unpleasant taste or odor. In high concentrations, chlorine can also irritate the skin and eyes, especially when showering or bathing.Â
If you’re sensitive to chlorine or dislike its taste, a water filtration system such as a carbon filter can help remove chlorine and improve the taste and odor of your water.
What is pH in Water, and Why is it Important?
The pH level of water measures its acidity or alkalinity. Water with a pH lower than 7 is acidic, while water with a pH above 7 is alkaline. The ideal pH for drinking water is typically between 6.5 and 8.5. Water that is too acidic or too alkaline can cause damage to plumbing pipes, leading to corrosion or scale buildup. It can also affect the taste of the water and reduce its safety for consumption.Â
If the pH of your water is outside the recommended range, you may need a water treatment system to balance the pH levels and protect your plumbing and health.
What is a Water Filtration System, and Do I Need One?
A water filtration system removes contaminants from water to improve its taste, odor, and safety. Depending on the type of system, it can remove harmful substances such as chlorine, lead, bacteria, and sediment. Some filtration systems are designed for specific contaminants, while others provide overall water purification. Whether or not you need one depends on the quality of your water supply.Â
If you notice unusual taste, odor, or water discoloration, or if you’re concerned about contaminants, a water filtration system can help. A professional plumber can assess your water quality and recommend the appropriate system for your needs.
