Clean Water Center Before & After Photos

A homeowner observed that their iron filter was not performing as expected, resulting in orange staining in the toilets and sinks. They contacted the Clean Water Center and scheduled a project coordinator to assess the situation. The project coordinator immediately identified the issue as breakthrough, likely due to the age of the system. Iron filters typically last 6-8 years, and the homeowner’s system was well beyond its lifespan. As a first step towards resolving the problem, we recommended replacing the iron filter. This would allow to extend the life of her water softener, which was also nearing the end of its service life. After a brief discussion with the homeowner, we decided to replace the old system with an EVFE-1252 and now they have iron free water coming into their home.

The homeowner called Clean Water Center to address the scaling that they were seeing on faucets, as well as the orange staining around the house. A project coordinator came out to the home to test the water, and it was determined that there were hard water and iron breaking through the homeowner's old water conditioning system. The project coordinator went over different water treatment options with the homeowner, whose preference was to replace the old system with one system that would treat both the hard water and the iron, while occupying a minimal amount of space in the area where it would be installed. This was the perfect job for our AOC2 water conditioner, which the homeowner then decided to have installed into their home.

Mr. K. and his family live in Milwaukee and have a lake home in Campbellsport, WI. They had a much older Water Right water softener in place and this was original from when they first purchased, but it was no longer functioning properly. Mr. K stated that even when it was working well, they still received stains and odors. After testing the water for iron, sulfur, and other water conditions, we found that they had sulfur present, which causes a rotten egg smell in the water. Not just that, but iron kept finding it's way past the water softener as well. Because of these concerns, we found that the EVFE iron filter was going to be the best for for this family's lake home. It is capable of removing iron and lower levels of sulfur in one piece of equipment. The K. family now has odorless water that doesn't stain their fixtures and appliances; not just that, but because of those two concerns being addressed, the water is now tasting much better than before. 

The family at this home had known of higher levels of nitrates and wanted to look into solutions for that because their biggest concern was the health and safety of their kids. A consultation was set with a Project Coordinator, and after scoping the plumbing and talking with the customer a solution was found. Our state-certified Ultro Water RO is now providing the home with safe access to food grade water. 

This customer called the Clean Water Center, as they had equipment installed already but kept finding hard water issues and Iron staining around their house. When the Project Coordinator came to their house to assess the situation, there was a noticeable rotten egg (sulfur) smell and the water from the pressure tank came out orange. 

The Project Coordinator went over new softeners, as well as an Iron Filter to help combat the sulfur and Ferric Iron coming into the house. The customer decided to have us install a new EVRS-1044 softener, as well as an EVFE-1054 iron filter. 

The family will now enjoy clean water to their house, with less cleaning!
