Water Testing: Jackson, MI
Understanding what’s in your water can have a significant impact on your family’s health. Many chemicals found in both city and well water are known carcinogens and have been linked to various health and neurological disorders. Some of these harmful substances could already be present in your home’s water supply. Contact the experts at Aspen Soft Water and Aspen Plumbing Services in Jackson County today to schedule your free water test.
Water Softening: Jackson, MI
Water softeners remove calcium, magnesium, and other minerals from drinking water using resin beads that trap these minerals and exchange them for sodium or potassium. When the beads become saturated with minerals, a concentrated salt or potassium solution flushes them out, and the resulting chloride solution is drained away. Water softeners typically need to be regenerated every two to three days, though highly efficient models may regenerate daily or even multiple times a day. If your system is regenerating more or less frequently than this, contact Aspen Plumbing Services to schedule an inspection.
Water Purification/Filtration: Jackson, MI
Water filtration is the process of removing or reducing harmful contaminants, including particles, parasites, bacteria, algae, viruses, fungi, and other undesirable chemicals and biological substances, to make water safe for use. This can include applications such as drinking, medical, and pharmaceutical purposes. Drinking water filtration systems typically use a five-stage process: sediment, mechanical, chemical, mineral, and bacterial filtration. The experts at Aspen Plumbing Services are here to assist with all your water filtration needs.

Water Quality F.A.Q’S
Frequently Asked Questions
What Causes Hard Water?
Hard water is caused by high levels of dissolved minerals, primarily calcium and magnesium, in the water supply. These minerals are naturally occurring and can come from the soil and rock formations that the water passes through. When water has a high mineral content, it can lead to scale buildup in pipes, appliances, and water heaters, reducing efficiency and shortening their lifespan.
It can also cause soap to not lather well, leaving behind residue on dishes and skin. A water softener can be installed to reduce the hardness and improve the quality of your water.
How Can I Improve the Taste and Smell of My Water?
Improving the taste and smell of your water depends on the source of the problem. If your water has a chlorine or chemical taste, installing a carbon filter can remove chlorine and other volatile compounds. If your water has a metallic taste, this could indicate high levels of iron or copper, which may require a specific filtration system, such as an iron filter. For water that smells like sulfur, a water softener or aeration system may help.
Regularly flushing your pipes can also help clear stagnant water that may contribute to bad taste or odors. A professional plumber can test your water and recommend the best filtration system based on the specific issue.
What is Water Contamination, and How Does it Happen?
Water contamination occurs when harmful substances such as bacteria, viruses, chemicals, or heavy metals enter the water supply. This can happen through various sources, including agricultural runoff, industrial waste, sewage, or improperly maintained plumbing systems. Contamination can lead to health risks such as gastrointestinal issues, skin irritation, and long-term illnesses if consumed over time.
Regular testing of your water quality is important to identify potential contaminants and ensure your water is safe. If contamination is detected, a water filtration or purification system can be installed to address the issue.
How Often Should I Have My Water Tested?
It’s recommended to test your water at least once a year for common contaminants such as bacteria, nitrates, and heavy metals, particularly if you rely on a private well. If you notice changes in taste, odor, or appearance, or if you live in an area with known water quality issues, more frequent testing may be necessary.
For households with children, pregnant women, or people with compromised immune systems, it’s a good idea to test water quality more regularly to ensure it’s safe for consumption. A plumbing professional can help with water testing and recommend any necessary treatment solutions to improve water quality.
