Frequently Asked Questions

  • How does water conditioning work?

    Water conditioning uses ion exchange resin to remove calcium, magnesium, and iron from hard water. The system regenerates automatically using salt, providing softened water throughout your home that prevents scale buildup and improves soap effectiveness.

  • What removes iron from well water?

    Iron removal systems use catalytic filter media with oxidation to convert dissolved iron into particles that get filtered out. These systems can reduce iron levels by 95% or more, eliminating red staining on fixtures and metallic taste.

  • When should I test for radon in water?

    Test for radon in water when buying a home with a private well, if you notice no obvious source for elevated indoor radon levels, or every 3-5 years for routine monitoring in radon-prone areas like Maine.

  • Do reverse osmosis systems need maintenance?

    Reverse osmosis systems require filter changes every 6-12 months depending on water quality and usage. The RO membrane typically lasts 2-3 years, while pre-filters and post-filters need more frequent replacement for optimal performance.

  • Can whole house filters remove chlorine?

    Whole house carbon filtration systems effectively remove chlorine, taste, and odors from all water entering your home. Coconut shell activated carbon media provides years of chlorine-free water from every faucet with automatic backwash cycles.

  • Why does my water smell like eggs?

    The rotten egg smell comes from hydrogen sulfide gas in well water. Iron-sulfur-manganese removal systems use oxidation and filtration to eliminate this odor-causing compound along with associated taste issues.

  • How long do water treatment systems last?

    Quality water treatment systems typically last 15-20 years with proper maintenance. Electronic control valves, resin beds, and filter media may need replacement every 5-10 years depending on water conditions and usage patterns.

  • What causes hard water problems?

    Hard water contains dissolved calcium and magnesium minerals that create scale buildup in pipes and appliances, reduce soap effectiveness, and leave spots on dishes. Water conditioners solve these issues through ion exchange treatment.

  • Do air purifiers help with allergies?

    Air purifiers with HEPA filtration remove 99.97% of particles 0.3 microns and larger, including pollen, dust mites, and pet dander. ActivePure Technology adds surface cleaning for comprehensive allergen reduction throughout your home.

  • What's ActivePure Technology for air?

    ActivePure Technology creates hydrogen and oxygen molecules that actively seek and neutralize contaminants in air and on surfaces. It reduces up to 99% of airborne and surface pathogens without producing harmful ozone.
