Is a whole house reverse osmosis right for your?  Whole house reverse osmosis system are designed to remove those “have to contaminates”.  High sodium content, floride, high TDS,  if you have an older home where copper pipes are used, then a neutralizer has to be installed after.  But most of all, whole house reverse osmosis systems must pre treatment.  These systems are not designed as stand alone filtration.  Please call Water Pros for more information.720-951-4130

Water Pros " Paul The Water Man " Crystal - Right Media!

Water Pros is happy to offer the original Crystal - Right Media!  Invented in the early 1920's by Emmett Culligan and Fred Lindsey in North Minnesota.  Crystal - Right media removes hardness, iron and manganese.  But that's not all. Crystal - Right media has the ability to Raise PH!   In 1984 Glenn Gruett and  the Water Right Family was able to purchase the exclusive right to the Crystal - Right Media and moved the plant to Phillipsburg Kansas.  For almost 100 years the Crystal - Right media and its multi functional use has provided reliable performance and longevity.  Clearly out lasting and outperforming the standard resin based water softener systems.

Do Water Softeners Make Your Water Salty? Answer: NO

Image
Sodium is a naturally occurring mineral that is found in almost everything you consume.  From apples to almonds, the water and milk we all drink, sodium is a common ingredient.  So when someone say's " Sodium is used to soften water"  : This is one of the biggest miss statement / misconceptions!  Here's why.   Calcium (Ca2+) and magnesium (Mg2+) ions that cause water hardness can be removed fairly easily by using an ion exchange procedure. Standard water softeners are cation exchange devices. Cations refer to positively charged ions dissolved in the water. Cation exchange involves the replacement of the hardness ions with a non hardness ion. Water softeners usually use sodium (Na+) as the exchange ion. Sodium ions are supplied from dissolved sodium chloride salt, also called brine. In the ion exchange process, sodium ions are used to coat an exchange medium in the softener. The exchange medium can be natural “zeolites” or synthetic resin beads that r...

What is Water Hardness

 Much has been written over the last seventy five years about water hardness, no universal definition exists.  What constitutes various levels of hard water?  Water Hardness is measured chemically by the amount of calcium bicarbonate and magnesium bicarbonate in a water sample.  The sum of total hardness is measured in units called grains per gallon.  This is solely for the purpose of sizing the right water softener equipment.  The most common or scientific measurement is in a milligram per litter or part per million. (these measurements commonly used by laboratories.) A conversion from milligram or part per million is achieved by dividing by a factor of 17.1 This will give you the Grain Per Gallon conversion. Soft Water is measured at less than one grain per gallon. Slightly Hard Water is  measured at 1 to 4 grains per gallon. Moderately Hard Water is measured at 4 to 7 grains per gallon.  Hard Water is measured at 7 to 10 grains per gallon. Very...
