4 Well Services to Help Improve the Taste of Tap Water
Tap water is an ideal way to enjoy a refreshing drink or use the water for other drink options like coffee and tea. If you've lived in your home for an extended amount of time, then you likely recognize the taste of your tap water and will notice when any changes occur. If your water suddenly changes taste, then the source of the problem could involve your well.
Check out four well services that can improve the taste of water so you can enjoy fresh glasses of water on a daily basis.
1. Well Inspections
Before you make any major changes to your well, hire an expert for a well inspection. If the taste of your water changes, you may feel tempted to purchase a tap water filtration system or pitcher. While a filter could clean the water, you will basically put a bandage over a bigger problem and not figure out the proper solution.
A non-invasive well inspection will use cameras and devices to determine the health and condition of your well. Through the inspection, a well water technician will also gather water samples to test. For example, the water you drink may taste saltier than usual.
The excess salt could be from the layers of earth or water runoff. Determining the source will help eliminate the excess salt and improve the taste of your tap water.
2. Well Leak Repair
If your well has a leak, then not only does water escape the well, but excess minerals and materials will contaminate the water. Well leak repair is essential for having the cleanest and best-tasting tap water. A leak may commonly occur in the holding tank within the well. If the leak is large, then you may consider replacing the whole tank.
Through a tank replacement, you will eliminate years of damage and provide your taps with clear and tasty drinking water. The leak repairs can also improve the water pressure in your home and ensure you get the maximum amount of water flow in the home.
3. Water Softeners
The minerals and natural erosion that occurs around water sources could eventually make your water hard over time. The number of materials in the water could increase and result in hard water. Hard water not only has a different taste but could cause stains in your sink and sink drains.
A water softener system will provide your whole home with softer water. The clean water source will eliminate a lot of the extra minerals and the aftertaste when drinking an excessive amount of hard water. The system you choose for your home will depend on the size of the home and the specific features you seek.
4. Dual Water Filtration
Along with water softeners, well experts may recommend dual water filtration systems. A dual system uses two filters to remove dirt, debris, and excess ingredients in the water. In some cases, a well can only do so much to protect the water from the natural elements. A filter system acts as a final step to filter out water for the whole house.
A dual filter system does double the work to provide you with clean drinking water. You will likely notice a change in flavor quickly. Depending on the size of the filter, you have to change it out every few months, and each time you do, you will often notice a positive change in the water quality and taste.
