Water from both private and public sources most often has dissolved minerals from the ground such as calcium, creating what is commonly known as hard water, which causes mineral deposits, stains, dry skin, harm to appliances/water heaters, etc.  Aquanology offers water softeners and related equipment service to eliminate the hard water issues you are experiencing.

Impurities such as sediment, clay, iron, etc, create cloudy or dirty water, making it unappealing for even basic usage. From a basic replaceable water filter to more complex backwashing water filtration systems, Aquanology has a system to meet your needs. Water from natural wells can contain offensive odors, such as sulfur. Water from public supplies most often contains chlorine, which can be unpleasant to taste or smell. Aquanology provides quality water conditioning systems to produce refreshing water that pleases.

Water Purification Systems

Water from wells, aquifers, and especially surface water lakes may contain harmful pathogenic bacteria, such as total coliform and E. coli. Some water sources are contaminated with lead, nitrates, or other health impacting substances. Water with high mineral concentrations most often has an unpleasant flavor and can lead to other negative health impacts. 

But there’s no need to panic and resort to purchasing expensive and wasteful bottled water. Aquanology has various options of water purification systems ranging from basic drinking water purification to whole home water systems to meet various requirements and budgets. We employ UV disinfection or chlorination to help keep your water safe from bacteria. Drinking water systems utilize membrane technology to remove unwanted contaminants and produce crisp, refreshing water with a taste to satisfy even the most particular.

ROCHESTER, NY WATER QUALITY

Rochester, NY City Water

If you are using public water supplies in the City of Rochester or surrounding area, your water most likely comes from one of two local places- Hemlock Lake to the south, or Lake Ontario to the north.

The City of Rochester and Monroe County Water Authority (MCWA) are the public water providers for the Rochester area. They report that the source of the water entering your home or business can vary depending on your location and on how the water is being routed.

For example, the south and eastern portions of Rochester city, as well as Henrietta and Brighton, would receive almost strictly water from Hemlock Lake. The central and western parts of Rochester would have a mixture of water from Hemlock Lake and Lake Ontario, while the northern parts of Rochester and areas like Greece and Irondequoit would receive water almost entirely from Lake Ontario.

Hemlock Lake water boasts one of the lowest hardness and TDS levels in the region. MCWA estimates that hardness levels are around 5.5 grains of hardness and total dissolved solids (TDS) of 160 ppm. According to U.S. Geographical Survey, this would fall in the moderately hard range.

Lake Ontario water is slightly harder than Hemlock Lake. MCWA reported average levels to be just above 7 grains of hardness, which falls under the hard water category, according to U.S. Geological Survey.

This moderately hard water of Rochester is not as bad for elevated mineral content as most surrounding well water, but it is still hard enough to benefit from a water softener. A water softener replaces the hardness minerals which cause staining and scaling on fixtures and appliances. A water softener can extend the life and maintenance intervals of appliances and keep water heaters running longer and more efficiently. A water softener can reduce dry skin problems and excessive soap usage caused by hard water. 

All public water is treated with chlorine for disinfection purposes. For this reason, there is usually little concern for bacteria contamination in public water supplies. However, chlorine has an unpleasant taste and odor, and is best removed with a water filtration system after it enters your home. Contact us to learn more about a carbon water filtration system for your home in the Rochester area.

Public water supplies usually have some levels of trihalomethanes or other disinfection by-products from the chlorination process thought to be carcinogenic or cause other negative health effects. Old plumbing and water mains may contain levels of lead. Municipalities also add fluoride to the water it supplies to the Rochester area, which is a controversial substance for some. If interested in producing high quality drinking water for your home in Rochester, ask about our drinking water reverse osmosis systems, which are designed to reduce such common contaminants.
