Water Treatment Options in Greenville
Tap water undergoes a multi-stage treatment process at the Stovall and Adkins treatment plants before reaching your taps. This process includes sanitizing chemicals like chlorine and chloramine to eliminate waterborne pathogens. Greenville’s municipal water treatment process also adds fluoride at approximately 0.6 parts per million.
Unfortunately, local tap water can additionally include many other contaminants:
- Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) or forever chemicals
- Atrazine
- Vinyl chloride
- Perchlorate
These toxins are the residual byproducts of plastics production, farming, rocket fuel production, and pharmaceuticals, among other activities. Not only are they known carcinogens, but they also impact the reproductive system and neurological health.
Even intentional additions to municipal water supplies can have an impact on humans. For instance, fluoride alone can alter bone and brain density and calcify the pineal gland. Worse still, if you have aging pipes, tap water could pick up contaminants from these.
Whole-house water treatment ensures that tap water is fresh-smelling, fresh-tasting, and unlikely to cause short or long-term harm. We install effective, multi-stage water filters at water mains when adding whole-house water filtration to homes. Our water filtration systems treat all the water our clients drink, cook, and bathe in.
With whole-house filtration, you’ll enjoy your tap water more. You’ll also have healthier skin, hair, and nails, cleaner clothes, and better-tasting cooked foods. Your pets and plants will also benefit from your whole-house water filter.
Some Greenville homes have hard water as well. Hard water has high concentrations of dissolved minerals like magnesium and calcium. Hard water causes limescale build-ups on plumbing fixtures and pipes and diminishes water pressure. Installing water softeners eliminates these problems and more. Like water filters, using water softeners can also lead to better-tasting, fresher-smelling tap water, and healthier skin and hair.
