The pictures above are of a residential treatment system that was the wrong application!  It is very important to do a proper water analysis at your home!  understanding the water chemistry allows you and your water professional to make the right diagnosis and get the proper water treatment equipment installed in your home!  If you see growth occurring on your water treatment equipment, call the professionals at Water Pros!  I have said time and time again that water treatment is not plug and play.  Without proper understanding of the water conditions you will not install the proper water treatment system.  In most cases, having the wrong system installed can cause your water to have more issues than if was coming directly from your well.  Another big important factor is ensuring your water treatment system has the proper drainage.  Inappropriate drainage can cause a system to have cross contamination and provide dirty water to your home.
