Are You Sure About Your Home’s Water Quality?

Water treatment protects you from bacteria, chemicals and other impurities.

Do you know what’s in the water that comes from your taps, shower heads, refrigerator, washer and dishwasher? Whether your home depends on a well or municipal water, you could be dealing with toxins, hardness or various pollutants.

It all depends on where your home is located and the kind of water service you have. For example, recent tests of Connecticut’s public water utilities have found 120 contaminants, including haloacetic acids, bromodichloromethane, dichloroacetic acid and chloroform. More than half of all well water in our region has elevated bacteria levels at some point during the year, especially after heavy rains. Groundwater can contain radon, too.

At Valiant Home & Energy, we perform prompt, highly accurate home water testing. Armed with this data, we’ll work with you to develop tailored water treatments that support the health and well-being of everyone in your home.

Why Water Quality Matters

If your home water has impurities, it can cause a range of problems, including the following:

• Bacteria can lead to digestive issues and a range of illnesses.
• PFAS and radon have been linked to cancer and other serious, chronic health problems.
• Other waterborne chemicals can lead to organ damage, nervous system issues and other health problems.
• Pollutants in water, as well as water hardness, can make soap and shampoo less effective. They can also lead to dry skin, dandruff and acne.
• Minerals and chemicals in water can damage clothing and stain dishes, glasses and flatware.
• Pollutants can harm your plumbing and fixtures. You may notice green pipes from water acidity, white deposits from hard water or orange stains from iron.
• Poor quality water will negatively impact the taste, smell and consistency of beverages like coffee and tea and food like bread.

As you can see, there is a range of unpleasant and sometimes dangerous effects that can come from poor water quality. But the Valiant team is here to help!
