It's Monday morning and your alarm clock goes off for the 4th time... you know it's time to stop hitting that snooze button and drag yourself out of bed. You make your way to the bathroom, and turn the shower dial on to warm up, and before you know it... rotten eggs.
It's definitely not the most pleasant of smells to start your week off, and unfortunately most of us just learn to "live with it". Did you know that nose turning rotten egg smell is caused by Hydrogen Sulphide? and did you know you don't have to "just live with it", treating your water can eliminate it!
When your well water is having an unpleasant effect on you, your plumbing fixtures, your laundry, etc... you can bet there is a reason! Here is a list of common well water complaints and their causes.
Hard Water (Scales/deposits in kettles and water heaters): Excess Calcium
Rusty (red to brown) staining of fixtures and laundry; and/or metallic taste: Excess Iron
Black staining of fixtures and laundry; and/or metallic taste: Excess Manganese
Rotten egg smell: Hydrogen Sulphide
Water has laxative effect: Excess Sulphates
Turbidity/grittiness: mud/salt/clay/sediments in water
Organic (tea) colour: Tannins (natural organic matter that can result from nature’s fermentation process)
Do you have any of these problems? Did you realize there were causes behind them? Surprisingly many well owners just believe these things come with owning a well. It doesn't have to be that way!
