Signs of Acidic Water

• Damage: Similar to the impacts of hard water scale damage, sand, silt and other sediment can build up in your water heater, aerators and other water-using appliances, leading to ongoing maintenance and/or early failure.
• Clarity: Although fine sediment particles might not be visible, larger sediment in your water can cause it to come out looking murky or muddy. It can also cause lead to the appearance of dirt-like particles in your water and ice.
• Odor/Taste: Water with sediment in it can impact the water’s taste and odor, giving it a earthy taste or odor.

• Whole House: To treat the water in your entire home for sediment, suspended solids, sand, silt and organic matter, we recommend our SedimentShield Whole House Water Filtration System.
