Advanced Water Systems can build you a whole house filtration system.  Our whole house water softener reduces the contaminants and hard water issues. Hard water is a very common problem, affecting water in more than 85% of the country. It is a result of the dissolved minerals calcium, magnesium and manganese. With an increase in these minerals, the following are seen..• Soap scum in sinks and bathtubs, • Bathtub rings, • Spots on dishes or shower doors, • Reduced foaming and cleaning abilities of soaps and detergents, • Dingy and yellowed clothes with soapy residues that require extra rinsing to remove, • Clogged pipes from buildup of minerals, • Increased water heating costs from buildup of minerals, reducing efficiency of water heaters, • Possible skin infections from bacteria trapped in pores underneath soap scum.
