Water Treatment Services
Hard water may seem like a small problem, but not addressing it can run up energy costs and take as much as seven years off the lifespan of your household appliances. This is due to calcium and other minerals building up in your pipes and your appliances, affecting water pressure and appliance performance. Poor quality water can also affect you - showering with hard water is hard on your skin, making you age faster, and drinking less than ideal water can take a toll on your health.
AZ Emergency Plumbing LLC can test and treat your water, helping you maintain utility costs and water quality.

Water Filtration Systems
Having a whole house water filtration system is a game changer. Water is essential for daily living, so make sure it's quality water.
Benefits
Water conditioning systems do more than improve your tap water. They can also remove harmful substances you can’t pick up on, including heavy metals, pesticides, microplastics, and pharmaceuticals that sometimes make their way into the drinking water supply. A water softener alone removes calcium and magnesium. Although these are healthy minerals, they cause the scale to build up. Not only is it unsightly, but also reduces water pressure and appliance lifetime. Hard water can also interfere with cleaning - the minerals can scratch glass and delicate surfaces.
Tip: Although modern laundry detergents are formulated to work well with hard water, you can still get mineral deposits from the rinse cycle. Be sure you are getting the cleanest rinses with a water filtration system.

Water purification systems remove contaminants. Some are designed to remove specific minerals and metals. Here are the main ones:
- Sedimentation filters remove suspended solids.
- Reverse Osmosis technologies use a special membrane that acts as a filter at the scale of molecules. This technology is mostly used in under-sink equipment for treatment of drinking and cooking water, with results as clean as you can get.
- Activated and Catalytic Carbon filters use specially prepared charcoal-like materials. Their huge surface area binds a wide range of compounds so that they remove chlorine, chloramines, VOCs (volatile organic compounds such as solvents), pharmaceuticals, and pesticides. Removing chlorine can be especially helpful in the general Phoenix area where hot weather forces utilities to use higher levels of chlorine to assure killing off any bacteria.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: What can hardwater do to my home?
A: Hard water can be problematic because it reacts with cleaning products, creates soap buildup, and can wear down fixtures and appliances more quickly than soft water. The minerals in hard water react with soap to create soap scum, inhibiting suds. This means you need to use more soap with hard water. The buildup of minerals on glasses and dishes, clothing, and fixtures can take their toll over time. Here are some of the common household problems related to hard water:
- Scale buildup inside water supply pipes, restricting water flow
- Film and scale buildup on ceramic tile and fixtures
- Scale deposits shortening the life of water heaters
- Spots on glasses and dishes cleaned in dishwater
- Less effective clothes washing due to lack of suds
- Increased wear on clothing during washing

Q: What does hard water do to plumbing?
A:The buildup on tubs, shower, sinks, and faucets caused by hard water are only part of the problem. The minerals in hard water also start to build up inside pipes, fixtures, and appliances over time. The build-up we don’t see can start to cause all sorts of plumbing problems, such as reduced water flow, clogs, and increased stress on pipes and fixtures. The mineral deposits can also cause appliances to operate less efficiently and wear down faster. For example, a water heater has to heat all of the mineral scale buildup inside the tank, as well as the water. Overall, hard water can result in less efficient plumbing and more repairs over time. Which is more money out of your wallet.

Q: How can I test my home for hard water?
A:White scaly buildup on plumbing fixtures is often a great indicator of the presence of hard water. If you suspect that you have hard water, there is an easy way to test for it by shaking up a small amount of dish soap and water in a closed container. If the solution fails to create lots of suds, you probably have hard water. For much more precise results you can contact your water provider and request a recent water testing report.
