Dive in Deep: Getting to the Bottom of What’s In Your Water

Do you know what’s in your water? Eliminate the guesswork and find true peace of mind by learning what’s in the water you and your family drink and doing something about it. At Haferman Water Conditioning, we make it as easy as possible for you to know for sure.

Whether you rely on your city’s treated water or well water, it is a good idea to have your water tested. And, this way you know whether or not you need to install a water filtration system or water softener to improve the quality of your water water. And, though there are at-home tests, it is important to have water testing done by professionals. As experts in the industry, we have the right tools and knowledge to accurately test your water for a variety of impurities and chemicals. The importance of water testing at your Prior Lake home should not be overlooked: routine water testing can help improve the taste and quality of your water and keep you and your family safe. We’ve provided a rundown of the reasons to choose water testing for your home. 

Is it safe?

The most basic reason for water testing is to make sure your home’s water is safe for consumption. This is most important for households that use wells, but it can also be helpful to find out the quality of your municipal sourced water. And, if you live in an area with a great deal of agriculture, you will want to make sure you get your water tested because nitrates and pesticides can easily get into the soil and contaminate nearby wells.

Your water should be tested if:

• You notice a change in your water quality, like in smell or taste.
• You notice scaling or spots on your glassware.
• There is a pregnant woman or an infant under the age of six months living in your home.
• Your drinking water comes out of the tap with a cloudy appearance.
• Your area experiences a large flood or storm that might have affected the water quality.
• You recently had some type of maintenance or repair work done on your well.

Hard water problems?

Water testing can also help determine if your home has a hard water problem. While hard water is not unsafe for you and your loved ones to drink, it can decrease the life span of your water using appliances and make it more difficult for you to keep your bathroom and kitchen clean.

How often should you have your water tested?

There are no laws or regulations that dictate how often you should have water testing performed. As mentioned, there are a few indications that you should have this done, so it is up to you to determine when you should have your water tested and how frequently you should have it done.

Impact of Plastic Water Bottles

Plastic water bottles produce unneeded waste and have poor impacts on the environment. According to National Geographic, only about 13% of plastic water bottles are recycled. This means that over 80% of the plastic water bottles that are purchased end up in landfills across Minnesota and the United States. Even those bottles that are recycled take centuries to decompose.

Benefits of Water Coolers

Water coolers can help provide a solution to some of the problems caused by purchasing water bottles. We know that human bodies need water and purified water can be preferred. By using purified water and removing contaminants, you reduce risk of illness. All of these things can be benefits in the workplace. Having hydrated and happy employees can boost morale in the office.

The Ins & Outs of Water Softeners

Noticing an increase in soap scum on your shower doors? It might be hard water, and you might need to have a water softener installed. We recently wrote an article about the ins and outs of water softeners, and noted:

If your home or business is plagued with hard water, one of the best ways to get rid of it is to have a water softener installed. The appliance runs on the convention that calcium and magnesium ions will switch places with ions that result in softer water (i.e. sodium, etc.). The amount of sodium added to your drinking water is minimal and well below FDA standards.

Hard water might not seem like much of a problem, but it can lead to your showers not getting you as clean as possible and can leave your dishes and shower doors looking unkempt. The best solution to the problem may be to call a Minneapolis water softeners specialist and see what can be done to remove the hard water from your home. There will be an initial cost, but you'll save so much more by not having to constantly fight hard water.
