Q:

How should I go about a solution to my sulfide (rotten egg smell) problem. I have already tried a whole house carbon filter. I also have bleached my well three times, each only lasting a couple of weeks before the smell returns. I had a water test awhile back and coliform was present. what next?

A:

 

 

Aqua Systems has chemical-free solutions for sulfur and iron in water.  Ultraviolet light or chlorination can be used to kill bacteria.

We can test your water on-site to determine the proper treatment for the sulfur issue.  Please call or e-mail us to schedule an appointment for a free in-home evaluation.

Thanks for your inquiry and have a great day.

Q:

If I drink a quart of the softened water, how much sodium will I ingest?

A:

 

 A water softener will add 7.5 mg of sodium per grain of hardness that it removes through ion exchange.  City water in your area is 24 grains per gallon, so one quart of soft water would contain 180 mg of sodium.

 We do not recommend drinking soft water. A reverse osmosis system will remove sodium and other impurities from the water and may be connected to a refrigerator.  Bottled water or a hard water faucet at the kitchen sink are other options.  Potassium chloride can also be used in your softener and is available at our drive through for $16.80 per 40 pound bag.

 Please call 317-889-6829 or visit our store in Greenwood at 905 N State Rd 135 for more information.

 Thanks for your question and have a great day.
