Here it is now almost March. I am writing this on Saturday, February 26th. Life is going by fast!! We hope you are ready for eternity. Please let us know if you have any questions about getting ready. Yes, it is important to be ready for happenings here but one day we will be done and it will be time to meet our Maker.
Water quality can be affected by everything it touches – including the air! Your well is affected by what is happening to the ground water tables and to whatever is poured on the ground. Your home point of use water can be affected by the materials the faucet is made out of and of how long the lines are between the well and delivery. Little tiny biofilms can develop nearly anywhere along the way. Colonies can grow on membranes and filters. AWWWWWWWWW!!! You say, too much information. Information overload!!!!! Well it can be or it can be information that is very useful and needed to help you provide high quality water to your family.
One test we can do that seems to be useful for water conditioner owners is test your conductivity if you have an RO system. For $3 we can tell you what the conductivity is which corresponds to the amount of total dissolved solids. This number can be useful as you monitor the replacement needs of your membranes.
The quality of the salt you use in your softener can be important. Some salts contain “impurities” that are insoluble. You want a great liquid brine in your softener. The better the brine the better the regeneration of the resin beads in your softener. We can do a hardness check on your water and help you figure out how much salt you should be using. Cost for this service varies depending on your needs but is usually less than $30.00.
Let us know how we can help you here in this world or for preparation for what comes after this life!
Well water is a HUGE blessing. We get to put a house pretty much where ever we want it and have one of our great area well drillers connect the home to a great water supply.
You are responsible for the upkeep of that well. It is good to understand the water supply you have the best that you can so that you can condition it if need be for drinking and/or washing needs.
As we learn more we will be summarizing information here about the health of the aquifer system we are all tapping into. It is a fascinating study. We invite anyone to tell us stories here about your well and things you have learned.
