Water Heaters

Water heaters are impacted due to the deposits of scale which form at the heating surfaces inside the heater. Over time this scale will build up to a thickness that slows down the transfer of heat to the water.  This will increase the cost to heat your water as the thickness of the scale grows over time. Most demand water heaters have strict hardness limits imposed by the manufactures to maintain warranties. These heaters require either water treatment or frequent expensive manual cleaning done by a qualified plumber. Scale from hard water can shorten the lifespan of your water using appliance. Over time this may be your home’s most expensive water problem. Dishwasher, washing machine and hot water heaters can become less efficient over time. This also means the coffee pots, humidifiers, ice makers, and other appliances can suffer from mineral deposits left behind by your water.

A water softener can remove these minerals and make your hard-earned investments last longer. Contact your Conner Water Systems Specialist for the best option to keep your water heater running at peak efficiency.

Chlorine Tastes & Odors

Most municipal water systems inject chlorine into the water systems at the treatment facility to control bacteria.  In some cases the chlorine levels are high enough to be objectionable.  Your Conner Water Systems Specialist will evaluate your water and provide the solution that best fits your needs.

Brown/Black Stains

Brown or Black stains on fixture, sinks and appliances is often the result of iron or manganese in your water.  Selection of the right water tests to properly diagnose your problem and solution will be done by your Conner Water Systems specialist.  Clear water iron can be removed by special water softeners while red water variants of iron will require iron specific filter systems.

Mildew Smells

Mildew or musty smells can be caused by a number of different constituents in your water including corrosion of plumbing or organic compounds often found in well water.  Your Conner Water Systems specialist can provide you with the best option for your needs.

Blue/Green Stains

Blue green stains are most often associated with low pH.  This can also be described as high acid content of your water.  Over time lo pH water will leach the metal components of your plumbing system into your water.  This can drastically reduce the useful life of your metallic plumbing components if left untreated.  Copper pipes will leave blue green stains.

Rotten Egg Odor

Rotten egg odor (sulfur odor) can most often be found in source waters from Private wells.  Treatment can involve special sulfur filters or ozone systems.  In some cases certain tank type water heaters can create sulfur on the hot water only.  Your Conner Water Systems specialist will be able to determine the most appropriate solution for your needs.

Stiff Laundry

Stiff laundry is the result of being washed in water with high hardness mineral content.  These hardness minerals react with the soap and create a deposit of hardness and soap scum on the fabric of your laundry.  With continued washing in hard water these deposits will prematurely dull the colors of your fabrics and reduce the useful life of your clothes.  Your Conner Water Systems Specialist will provide the best water treatment option for your needs.

Water Spots

Water spots on glassware, dishes, fixtures and appliances due to high mineral content.  As the water dries the excessive minerals remains behind on your glassware and dishes, fixtures and appliances causing spots.  Your Conner Water Systems specialist will recommend the best solution for your needs. 

Itchy, Dry Skin
