Did you know that you are worse off bathing and showering in chlorinated water than drinking it?

In July 2005, John R. Nuckols published a study on tap water in the Environmental Health Perspectives. He indicated that chlorinated water activities such as bathing and showering can cause higher concentrations of Trihalomethanes in your blood than drinking a glass of water. Trihalomethanes are the dangerous byproducts from chlorine disinfection.

You can choose to either buy a filter or be a filter – It’s your choice.

As you’ve probably already noticed, not all water quality improvement systems are designed the same and they certainly don’t perform alike. When choosing a Simplicity Series system for your home, you can rest assured that it is built to the highest standards by skilled craftsmen here in the United States, specifically for the water challenges found in the Beehive State:

High Water Hardness: The harder your water is the larger a system must be to remove contaminants effectively (Water in Utah is usually 3 -5 times harder than the national average). However, if the system is too large it will waste water and salt while potentially allowing your system to be contaminated with bacteria.

High Water Pressure: Municipalities in the region could never have foreseen the massive population influx that has occurred. Cities are now forced to increase net pressures in piping distribution systems to push as much water as they can to new housing developments. These high pressures can raise attrition rates and cause premature failure in equipment.

Low water temperature: Although cold water tastes good, it is not good at all for water softening, conditioning or filtration equipment. Cold water has been proven to reduce system operating capacities by as much as 60%. Undersized systems will have a much greater chance of failing when the winter influent water is as cold as it is here in Utah.

Chlorine & Chloramine: All ion-exchange based water softening, conditioning and filtration systems can degrade at a minimum average rate of 5% – 10% per year (attrition) due to chlorine alone. Intermountain Soft Water’s specialized Structured Matrix media has a much slower chlorine attrition rate than most traditional softening resins.

Iron & Heavy metals: Resin attrition is further exacerbated by factors such as high water consumption, inadequate regenerations, elevated chlorine levels, iron & heavy metals in water. Even after leaving the city plant meeting or exceeding EPA minimum standards, your water can absorb and collect contaminants such as copper, zinc, lead, rust, manganese and a host of others before it even reaches your home. These are obviously potentially harmful to humans, but even more dangerous to your water equipment unless it is specifically designed to address these threats.

Heterotrophic Plate Count Bacteria (HPC’s): Your city produces water that is free of bacteria and safe to consume. However, HPC’s can exist in piping, water meters, fittings and regulating valves. These HPC’s are benign but can be the growth medium for potentially pathogenic bacteria. HPC’s can grow and colonize in a water system in as little as 4 days, even with chlorine or chloramine in the water. If your water system is not specifically sized & designed to address HPC growth issues, then your system could be a ticking bacterial time-bomb. Our systems are specifically designed to use
Pur-Gard in accordance with the SP-5000 disinfection protocol between periodic maintenance visits to mitigate this risk.

If you’re living with hard water in Utah, soap doesn’t lather easily, glasses are cloudy after washing, a ring forms around the bathtub, faucets and shower heads are crusty, laundering results are poor and there are many other easily recognized signs.

Hard water can coat your family, your home and your appliances with thousands of pounds of inorganic mineral rock-scale each and every year.  Hard water slowly destroys everything it touches.

Left untreated, hard water costs you money, ruins your lifestyle and can even lower the value of your home.

If you’re fortunate to live within a city, your water should meet minimum federal standards, thanks to your local water utility. If you own a private well or spring, you are your own utility.   Federal minimum standards are designed to protect you from high levels of deadly toxins and bacteria, but are not designed to address aesthetic issues or low levels of carcinogens, inorganics and organics that can quite possibly compromise your very quality of life. It is your responsibility to control the quality of water in your home to meet your lifestyle expectations for taste, feel and cleaning power. Intermountain’s Water allows you complete control.

You’re not alone if you’re concerned about the water you and your family drink. According to a recent CNN/Gallup Poll, more than 47% of Americans simply refuse to drink their tap water, because of concerns about the quality and taste of their water.   The water in your home can dramatically affect your quality of life. Your home is constantly under attack from contaminants and impurities that travel through your piping, affecting water heating efficiency, clothes washing, soap efficiency and longevity of all your water using appliances, like dishwashers, water heaters, washing machines, steam showers, radiant heating systems etc…

Every drop of water that enters your body must be filtered, either through your skin or your digestive system. Your choice is simple, either buy a filter or be the filter. Intermountain water is able to meet your needs with a broad spectrum of whole-house and point of use water appliances that encompass many technologies, including softening, conditioning, filtration, and purification systems to provide you with water that feels good, tastes great and works hard for you.

Your water softener is the hardest working appliance in your home, on guard every single day to protect you and your family

Every drop of water that you use in your home has an effect on your life. The clothes we wear, our appliances, our laundry, and even the food we eat is affected by the water in our home. The average water softener in our area cleans hundreds of thousands of gallons of water every single year, processing countless pounds of contaminants.

All water softeners should be properly maintained, cleaned and disinfected on a regular schedule

Like any other hard working appliance, water softeners do get dirty, and suffer from wear and tear during their service life.  Water softeners should be cleaned and disinfected annually, or at least after every 100,000 gallons of water processed. A proper cleaning, disinfection, and maintenance schedule will keep a water softener working well to protect you. Disinfection schedules depend largely on your raw water quality and your water usage habits.

Water can contain  invisible contaminants like bacteria, sediment, chlorine, pesticides, herbicides, hardness minerals, and radioactive particles

Even safe city water is teeming with a multitude of invisible contaminants, like bacteria, sediment, chlorine, pesticides, herbicides, hardness minerals, and radioactive particles. These contaminants are highly diluted in city water but can concentrate and accumulate inside water softeners and other water treatment devices. When contaminants accumulate in a softener, they can seriously impair its ability to function properly, degrade water quality, and even result in premature mechanical wear or failure.

It is now common knowledge that bacteria thrive in all city water supplies, even ones that use chlorine/chloramine

Chlorine is probably one of the single largest breakthroughs in water treatment. Chlorine protects us from many dangerous organisms that can live in water. Some organisms have evolved tough defenses like mucous layers to protect them from disinfectants like chlorine. These disinfectant-resistant bacteria and other organisms live and travel in many city water supplies looking for a home where they can multiply.

Water softeners can become a home for bacteria to grow and unwanted contaminants to accumulate

Some organisms can clump together along with other contaminants to form a slimy biofilm that creates a safe home for rapid bacterial growth and accumulation. When bacteria grows in colonies like this, it can rapidly contaminate anything that it touches and cause significant harm to the softener’s ability to clean the water as well as possibly creating a risk to your health. Salt brine tanks are especially vulnerable to contamination with living organisms.

Modern water softeners include  built-in cleaning and disinfection systems to help minimize bacterial growth between maintenance visits

On-board cleaning and disinfection systems like Pur-Gard allow a water softener to continuously protect itself with a maintenance dose of cleaning and disinfection chemicals to help minimize bacterial contamination and dissolve accumulated contaminants. Just like brushing your teeth every day, this advanced technology maintains a good baseline of protection between detailed cleaning visits.

The better you treat your softener, the better it will protect you

Since it plays such an important role in your household, you should be sure to take good care of your softener. Give it a high quality salt, keep your Pur-Gard reservoir full, use a power surge protector, and have your system cleaned and disinfected on a regular schedule.

Benign bacteria can lurk in safe city water supplies and slowly colonize water softeners and other treatment  equipment. Heterotrophic  plate  count  (HPC)  bacteria  are  chlorine-resistant  bacteria  that  inhabit most  plumbing  systems throughout Utah and the rest of the United States. HPCs  are  evident  as  part  of  the slimy coating that can be found on drinking filters and inside water softeners known as a ‘biofilm’.

A biofilm  is a  collection or organic  and  inorganic material, as well  as  living  and dead organisms, responsible  for  numerous  water  quality  and  distribution  problems  such  as  loss  of  disinfection residual  levels, odors, color, microbial-induced corrosion, reduced material  life and a reduction  in dissolved oxygen content. While HPCs themselves are usually not harmful to human health, they provide  nutrition  and  protection  for  pathogenic  bacteria. A protocol has been developed to help address this dangerous threat to your comfort, health and safety.  Through injection of Pur-Gard  on a carefully controlled cleaning schedule, your system is able keep itself as clean as possible between scheduled maintenance visits while working hard for you every day.

In addition to being a safe and effective anti-bacterial, Pur-Gard will also clean, lubricate and protect the  metal  moving  parts  in  your  system,  while  minimizing  scale  formation  and  enhancing  the cleaning  capacity  of  your  water  softener.    A specialized disinfectant will be  applied  during  periodic  service  and maintenance visits by your Intermountain  technician as needed, based on your water usage habits and system configuration in compliance with the SP-5000 disinfection protocol.

Periodic Maintenance is truly the most effective way to ensure your system is operating at maximum efficiency and that you proactively protect it from attrition and potentially major repair problems.

Intermountain’s Cleaning, Disinfection, and Maintenance  Service includes the following:

• System Cleaner & Disinfectant
• Water Testing
