Abendroth Water Conditioning has been resolving water problems since 1953.  Give us a call or stop in and see us to discuss any of the following water problems.

Hard Water Hard water is formed through the settling of minerals in water.  A hard scaly surface is generally what appears to the eye.  A report published by the American Water Works Association and printed by the Water Quality Association found that this scale will clog pipes and can decrease the life of flushing water tank units by 70%, water faucets by 40%, and washing equipment, dishwashers and clothes washers by as much as 30%.  Did you know that the efficiency of a gas water heater may be reduced by as much as 29% when using hard water?  Electric water heater efficiency may be reduced by up to 21%.  Clothing washed in soft water remains brighter and can last longer than clothes washed in hard water.

Water Stains Iron Staining: Iron is the fourth most abundant element on earth and enters water naturally as it is dissolved from the earth's crust or as iron or steel pipes corrode.  This causes unsightly red/brown staining on sinks, toilets, and clothes. Manganese Staining: Manganese enters water when dissolved from the earth's crust.  Acidic waters are particularly effective at dissolving manganese and usually contain higher concentrations of the element.  This element causes stains much like iron and can often be found in conjunction with iron. This element causes unsightly black staining on sinks, toilets, and clothes.

Bad Taste & Odor Water is known as "the universal solvent."  Water has a tendency to dissolve a little of everything it comes in contact with, from beneficial elements to harmful chemicals, minerals, and other contaminants.  Many times these contaminants produce undesirable tastes and odors.  Other times, residual chlorine that is added to municipal water treatment systems produces these unwanted tastes and odors.
