HOW TO IMPROVE WATER QUALITY IN 5 EASY STEPS

 * Post author By Aubrey Beck
 * Post date April 6, 2023

Are you unhappy with the quality of the water in your home? Does your tap water
have a weird taste or smell? Are you worried that your family may be ingesting
or absorbing dangerous substances through your water supply?

In an ideal world, everyone would have access to safe and clean drinking water,
but unfortunately, this isn’t always the case. Consuming contaminated water can
cause many diseases that bring unpleasant symptoms, including diarrhea,
vomiting, and pneumonia. In severe cases, consuming contaminated water can even
lead to death.

But when it comes to poor water quality, it’s not just human health you need to
worry about. Your pets deserve clean, fresh drinking water. Many garden
plants are sensitive to chemicals, sodium, and pH levels in their water supply.
These are all important reasons why it’s so important to get your water tested
and take control of your water quality.

SIMPLE STEPS TO IMPROVE WATER QUALITY

Fortunately, if you’re not happy with the water quality in your home, there are
things you can do about it. Here are five strategies to improve water quality
that will make your water safe to use.

 1. Test Your WaterThe easiest way to test the quality of the water in your home
    is with a test kit. These kits are user-friendly and will accurately
    indicate the presence of various contaminants in your water and tell you
    whether the water is safe to use. If you find that the water is unsafe, you
    and your plumber can then determine additional steps necessary to make your
    water safe to use and consume.
 2. Boil Your WaterBoiling water is a short-term solution that makes water
    contaminated by harmful bacteria and parasites safe for consumption. If you
    need to boil tap water before consuming it, you need to contact a water
    quality professional for a home filtration system installation. In the
    meantime, before boiling contaminated water, filter it through a clean cloth
    or coffee filter first. Then, bring the filtered water to a rolling boil for
    at least a minute. If you are at a high elevation (6,500 feet or more), boil
    for three minutes.
 3. Filter Your WaterA good water filtration system can remove sediment from
    your drinking water. A good water purification system can remove harmful
    chemicals, metals, and microorganisms from your drinking water. A whole-home
    water filtration/purification system installation will keep your family safe
    from the ill effects of poor water quality. If you are only concerned about
    filtering the water coming out of certain taps, install a filter or reverse
    osmosis system just for that faucet.
 4. Get a Water SoftenerIf your water test revealed problems with minerals,
    consider having a water softener installed. A water softener will remove
    calcium, magnesium, and iron from the water. This process will make your
    water safer, taste better, and even prolong the life of appliances like
    dishwashers.
 5. Take Care of Your PipesKeeping the water pipes in good condition reduces the
    chances of harmful bacteria or chemicals entering your water supply. If the
    water pipes in your home are old or you notice any signs of damage, contact
    a plumbing professional.
