Your Water

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.

There are several companies on the internet selling Salt Free Water Softener.  The Real Truth is that a Slat Free Water Softener DOES NOT exist!  It is FALSE advertising!  The only way to remove calcium carbonate (hard water) is through an ion exchange media.  PLEASE beware of the False Claims and ADVERTISING you hear on the radio, Satellite Radio Internet Radio and internet advertising.   

What Hard Water Can Do to Your Skin Hard water contains dissolved minerals like calcium and magnesium. Those minerals make it harder for water to form a solution with soap, and it leaves behind a scummy residue. If you have hard water in your home, you’ll notice that white soap scum all over your bathroom fixtures. Hard water can also clog up your plumbing and your shower head, reducing pressure. But what you may not realize is that same soap scum builds up on your skin. Instead of getting a nice lather, you’re leaving behind a residue that clogs your pores the same way it clogs your pipes. Clogged pores can lead to breakouts and worsen skin conditions like acne or eczema. The natural oils your body produces are distributed through the pores of your skin. When those pores are clogged, the oil gets trapped and blemishes like pimples and zits form. Not only can soap scum from hard water clog your pores, many people find it also causes them to feel dry, itchy, and irritated. T...

The City of Castle Rock is planning to purify sewage water into drinking water!  Four and a half million gallons of surface water a day is treated at the Plum Creek Reclamation Authority's wastewater treatment plant.  By next year the city's wastewater purification system will turn toilet, drain and sink water into drinkable tap water!  This information was from an article posted on the DenverChannel.com  posted 2/21/19  The article also mentions the city of Aurora recapturing river water to provide drought insurance.  It is very important for people to consider their own filtration methods of drinking water!

The source of Chloramine is from our municipal water treatment.  Aqueous chlorine reacts with certain organic materials present in water sources to form trihalomethanes (THMs).  Long term exposure to these harmful byproducts of disinfection has been linked to an increased risk of cancer and infant birth delivery problems.  It is estimated that THMs in drinking water are responsible for as many as 2-17 percent of bladder cancers diagnosed each year in the United States.  To Protect the public, the US Environmental Protection Agency has established a maximum contaminate level of 0.08 ppm for THMs   Find More information at www.wqa.org Chloramine Fact Sheet.

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...

Over the last five years I have seen several web based companies selling a "Salt Free Water Softener".  Which I find very upsetting.  The hardness in water is a liquid called calcium carbonate.  As air comes in contact with the liquid hardness it is converted to a solid.  That is the build up you see on your faucets, fixtures and on your appliances.  Now in order to remove the liquid hardness out of your water we have to go back in time to the later 1800's.  That is when a filter media called resin was invented.  During the industrial revolution clean water was necessary for certain manufacture practices.  With the invention of Resin, hardness as a liquid was able to be removed from water.  Now the Resin has a negative charge which would attract the positive charge calcium carbonate (hard water).  OK back to my topic of salt free water softeners.!  Since hardness is a liquid, THEIR has not been any invention or filter media invented...
