Installation in Hanson, Mass. yesterday. Water softener with "big blue" sediment pre-filter. Also a reverse osmosis drinking water purification system (top black manifold w/white housings with white storage tank above it) with a line running up to a dedicated faucet at the kitchen sink. System addressing hard water, sediment and a big upgrade to the purity of the drinking water (better than bottled). Nice, clean proper installation (install Carl D., assisted by Erick B, consult by David R.) www.h2ocare.com "Making Water Better!"
ONE THING THERE IS NO DEBATE ABOUT! H2o Care is making water better! For an on-site water test & analysis, contact us at service@h2ocare.com or call 800-539-1100 and we'll have a level-headed, constructive conversation :) www.h2ocare.com "We Don't Make the Water, We Make the Water Better!"
IT'S NATIONAL COFFEE DAY! But you can't take the day off. What's the #1 ingredient in coffee?...................you guessed it, water. So with that: It's best to use filtered water - or even bottled water (make sure it doesn't have a high mineral content, though). Filtered water and tap water typically taste different, particularly if your tap water contains chlorine or chloramines, which all public water supplies do. As a result they also affect the way your coffee tastes. These additives can dull the flavor provided by brewed coffee beans. Aside from taste, filtered water is also better for your health, as it contains fewer impurities. ENJOY! www.h2ocare.com "We Don't Make the Coffee, We Make the Coffee Better!"
Home in Essex, Mass. with a large landscape was having water irrigation problems due to high iron (staining all surfaces in the yard) and high sediment clogging sprinkler heads. The system seen here very effectively took care of the problems. Homeowner also wanted to upgrade their drinking water as we installed a reverse osmosis purification system (partial view in upper left, 3 white canisters) running a line up to the kitchen sink and a separate dedicated faucet. www.h2ocare.com "Making Water Better!"
REASONS WHY YOU MIGHT CONSIDER A WATER SOFTENER FOR YOUR HOME OR BUSINESS. See link. https://www.popularmechanics.com/home/tools/a28280250/water-softener/ www.h2ocare.com POPULARMECHANICS.COM How a Water Softener Works (And Why You Might Want One)
Routine annual maintenance on a water softener system with sediment pre-filtration. High dissolved and particulate iron in this Dover home's water supply. Pre-filter doing it's job on particulate, softener doing it's job on dissolved iron and hardness! Water test results after the system were excellent. www.h2ocare.com "Making Water Better!"
Boxford installation yesterday to address two main issues: High dissolved and particulate iron and strong odor. This ozone hybrid system is addressing both issues beautifully. Post system water is iron free and there is no detectable odor. (install & photo courtesy of Matt B., consult Steve T.) www.h2ocare.com "Making Water Better!"
These are the kind of reviews that make us proud as a company - such a talented and service oriented team. Thank you to this new customer so much! Google ***** Rouzbeh Y%$#&# My house's only water source since 1987 has been from Water well, like most people in New England. Water filtration and Well maintenance is crucial to supply of clean, reliable, and safe water. The H2O Care, Inc team of Steve, Cindy, Matt and Bob did such an outstanding first class job from water Analysis, to water filter design, scheduling, professional spectacular installation and operation of system that I have not seen since 1987 any company in this field to provide. It is perhaps most important to also note, that H2O Care Inc. team has brought a total level of new professionalism to this field, that I had not witnessed for 35 + years. Great job Team and please keep pushing the envelope for best service and care for our American houses in the neighborhood. THANKS for treating our home like yours. Stay well and safe.

Ashland, Mass. installation to resolve several issues with the well water at this residence. 1. Very hard water & iron 2. Low pH (corrosive) 3. Strong rotten egg odor (hydrogen sulfide). Post system test results showed non-detectable hardness and iron , neutral pH and odor free, clear water. The homeowners had been dealing with this for some time and are now elated with the results! www.h2ocare.com "Making Water Better!"
Thank you from a homeowner in Reading, Mass.! Tom C&$#&  13 hours ago I had an outstanding experience with H2O Care. With Steve’s expert advice and knowledge he was able to provide me with the best solution for my water treatment. He also explained how the system operated, the installation process and the necessary maintenance. Jamie did an excellent job on the installation. His work was very neat and professional and he explained the complete operation of the system. He left the work area clean and spotless. If you require a water treatment system, I highly recommend H2O Care! www.h2ocare.com "Making Water Better!"
HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU TEST YOUR WELL WATER? WHAT SHOULD YOU TEST FOR? Often asked questions. The following link has much information on this topic. If you'd like to speak to someone in more depth about this, give us a call. We just got a call this morning from a real estate broker whose client is looking at buying a house that has a high level of arsenic. Somehow the sellers of the house didn't know and they have been drinking it, bathing in it, etc. for years. Not a good situation. One example why testing periodically is important. https://bit.ly/3lnuxps www.h2ocare.com "Making Water Better!"
Homeowner bought an older home in Newbury, Mass. with a private well which tested for radon in the water above the EPA actionable level (and state level). The system below is connected to the incoming water line where it sprays & churns the water in a sealed chamber to release the gas from the water then vents it safely outside of the home. Post system test shows radon non-detectable. www.h2ocare.com "Making Water Better!"
GOT SEDIMENT??? Iron & manganese come in both dissolved and particulate form and are common in New England water supplies. Here is an example of heavy particulate evidence at a routine system maintenance in Hopkinton, Mass. These filters prevent the sediment from entering your water supply and protects your water softener or other filtration equipment while also protecting all water using appliances and providing cleaner water overall. www.h2ocare.com "Making Water Better!"
"I don't often drink water............but when I do, I drink water purified by H2o Care. Stay thirsty my friends" www.h2ocare.com "Making Water Better!"
Drinking water purification system installed in a Massachusetts North Shore restaurant. This sends purified water to soup kettles, coffee and cappuccino makers, steamers, the soda fountain dispenser for mixing, the water glass filling station and also to the fruit & vegetable wash station. www.h2ocare.com "Making Water Better!"
WHAT ARE TOTAL DISSOLVED SOLIDS (TDS) IN WATER? This is a commonly used measure in water quality assessment. It is a general, overall measure of drinking water quality. Our service staff tests drinking water for both the feed water and post water filtration equipment water for TDS levels to make sure the system is working as designed. See the link for more information on this. https://bit.ly/37AlBJM www.h2ocare.com "Making Water Better!" H2OCARE.COM H2O Care: Water Systems, Water Softener & Water Filtration
Installation today in Acton, Mass. of a system to remove high sediment levels and concerns about a chemical known as PFAS in the water.

HOW TO REMOVE LEAD FROM DRINKING WATER 1. Reverse Osmosis membrane technology 2. Carbon filtration with micron rating small enough to grab lead. 3. Ion Exchange (water softener) - not recommended as softener is installed prior to piping which may contain solder joints, thus potential for lead leaching. If you're not sure which is best for you, call or send us an email at 800-539-1100 or service@h2ocare.com www.h2ocare.com "Making Water Better!"

We have tested many types of water softeners, reverse osmosis and other filtration systems throughout the years so that you don’t have to, and we continue to do so. This testing has enabled us to provide a better selection of reliable and durable equipment to effectively and consistently improve water quality.

Most public water supplies add chlorine to the water at the treatment plant prior to releasing it downstream to the piping distribution system to prevent bacteria contamination before it gets to your home or business. For surface water supplies (reservoirs, etc.), dissolved organic material in the water can mix with this chlorine to form unintended byproducts, Trihalomethanes among the most prevalent and potential health threat. Your town's annual water quality report typically reports the levels found in their water testing. These byproducts can be effectively removed. For more on this, see the link at: https://h2ocare.com/trihalomethanes-in-water/ www.h2ocare.com "Making Water Better!"

The main differences between Commercial & Residential water softeners is the size of the softening tanks and the brine tank with it, as well as piping. The technology is the same, however softening capacity much different. Some commercial applications, like hospitals, require 24/7 softened & filtered water due to the round the clock demand on water usage and the need to protect their mechanical systems from failure. The photo below was one of our installations of a twin softening system at a North Shore Hospital with this need. www.h2ocare.com "Making Water Better!"

The photo below was one of our installations of a twin softening system at a North Shore Hospital with this need. www.h2ocare.com "Making Water Better!"

If your water is supplied by your town or city, either chlorine or a compound known as chloramine is added to the water prior to sending it downstream from the central treatment plant. This is done to kill bacteria, viruses and other microbes in water. There are reasons why some towns have switched to chloramines and away from chlorine. See why in the article we had published in Water Quality Products magazine at the link below. (You can find out what your town uses in their Annual Water Quality Report) https://www.wqpmag.com/water-disinfection/chloramine-control www.h2ocare.com "Making Water Better!"

IRON LIKE NEVER BEFORE! The link below is to an article written about our treatment of water in a large Athletic Facility in Southern New Hampshire a number of years ago. Nobody, including the state's health department had ever seen iron at this level and didn't think it could be corrected. Then we were hired and surprised many people. This was done when we were part of Atlas Water systems, prior to splitting off as H2o Care, Inc. The water was essentially unusable. We were faced with an athletic facility housing workout rooms, an indoor soccer field, showers, a concession stand and more, and the water was so bad, no one could shower there (horrible orange staining all over). The owner supplied bottled water for drinking. See link: https://www.watertechonline.com/water-reuse/article/15529481/iron-so-high-it-was-almost-frightening www.h2ocare.com "Making Water Better!"

Many of you may have experienced a water quality issue related to Manganese in your water. Manganese is evidenced typically by black or dark brown staining, typically on fixtures, sometimes inside dishwashers and potentially as build-up inside your piping distributions system. At high levels, manganese can actually become toxic. Over the years, certain towns in our region have issued warnings to residents about levels of manganese that have exceeded EPA and/or State standards. Manganese can be found "in solution" or as particulate matter. See article we had published on this topic at link below: https://www.watertechonline.com/wastewater/article/15547535/manganese-the-good-for-you-bad-for-you-mineral www.h2ocare.com ""Making Water Better!"
A chemical, PFAS ( per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) has been showing up in wells around the country. These substances have been banned for decades now, but the after affects of having gotten into the ground as a byproduct of certain manufacturing processes (bad ones), has left us with somewhat of a mess. It is a removable substance with proper water filtration. We were inundated with calls in the winter of 2018 when the town of Hudson, Mass. found it in their public water supply.

We sometimes recommend a twin water softener instead of a single tank softener. There are two main reasons why we would do this. One, extremely high iron levels which would not enable a single softener to "clean itself" properly in the backwash cycle. Secondly, a high water volume usage situation would not enable a single water softener to keep up with the water demand and keep it iron-free. For more, see a brochure of the system we really like and have had much success with over the years. at https://h2ocare.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/SmartChoice-Gen-II-iTwin-Brochure-h2o-1-29-2021.pdf
If you've ever smelled rotten eggs coming from your water supply, you never forget it. It's more of a private well water quality issue and not uncommon in New England.

This shut-off valve was totally jammed and non-functional due to the build-up of hard water scale over time in this Billerica residence. We replaced the valve and installed a water softener with a sediment pre-filter. They won't have this problem again. www.h2ocare.com "Making Water Better!"
HARD WATER can do this to your piping distribution system over time if not addressed. This scale build-up can occur on hot water heater sensors, insulating them causing the system to work harder to meet the set temperature. This creates premature failure of these expensive systems. There are numerous other potential problems for water-using appliances this can create. The solution is straight forward. https://h2ocare.com/water-softening-and-conditioning/ "Making Water Better!"
THIS IS WHAT A SEDIMENT FILTER LOOKS LIKE WHEN the water is full of particulate iron (ferric). Iron in water also manifests itself in dissolved (ferrous) form.

ARSENIC IN WATER? Yes, arsenic can get into well water and is a problem in certain areas of New England. Arsenic is odorless, tasteless and invisible. As a result, water testing is the only way to determine its existence. It can be removed from the water supply either at the point of entry coming into the home or just at desired "points of use". (arsenic system is the white twin tank setup below) For a link to the point of entry system brochure, see: https://h2ocare.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Arsenic-Monitor-Brochureh2o.pdf www.h2ocare.com "Making Water Better & Safer"

IF YOU HAVE A PRIVATE WELL AND HAVEN'T HAD IT TESTED WITHIN THE LAST 5 YEARS OR MORE. Please have it tested by a reputable laboratory. We had someone walk into our Stow, Mass. office today who has a private well and explained he had carbon tanks installed years ago. The last time he tested was 32 years ago. What he didn't realize was if he has any radon in his water, it is being captured by the carbon and can, over time, become a radioactive hazard in his house. By the end of our conversation, he decided to pursue water testing. For more about water testing, see the link at: https://h2ocare.com/water-testing/ www.h2ocare.com "Making Water Better & Safer"
