	Hard Water Dissolved calcium and magnesium in water create hardness. This causes dry skin and hair, soap scum in tubs and showers and spots on dishware and faucets. Hardwater also results in dull, dingy clothing and scaling in appliances, which results in costly repairs, less efficiency and a shortened life expectancy.

	Chlorine Taste or Odour Municipalities use chlorine to disinfect water. Unfortunately, chlorine is corrosive, tastes and smells bad, dries skin and hair and damages softeners, dishwashers, wash machines, toilets and faucets.

	Orange Staining, Metallic Taste or Odour Water containing iron and manganese can cause rusty-orange or black staining and a metallic taste or odour. You’ll see stains on clothes, toilets, sinks, bathtubs, fixtures and water-using appliances. It can even alter hair colour. Solutions See our Whole Home Filters See our Water Softeners
	“Rotten egg” Odour Hydrogen sulfide in water gives it that unpleasant odour. It can affect the taste of food and beverages; leave an unpleasant odour on hair and clothing and corrode metal parts in appliances. Because it is a gas, it must be tested for on-site.

	Cloudy Water Cloudy, murky or grayish water is usually caused by dissolved or suspended solids known as “turbidity”. Solutions See our Whole Home Filters See our Under Sink Filters See our Reverse Osmosis Systems
