Water Quality Concerns in Jacksonville, NC
Jacksonville’s water comes with its own set of challenges. With municipal water drawn from groundwater aquifers and private wells common in nearby areas, local water concerns often center on chlorine taste, disinfection chemical byproducts and groundwater-related issues including hard water.
At Kinetico, our water experts are trained to identify your unique water issues and recommend the best approach forward, from home drinking water concerns to improving efficiency for commercial operations.
Hard Water
Even though Jacksonville’s municipal water is considered relatively soft, hardness minerals can cause more damage than you might think. From mineral buildup in pipes and appliances to lifeless laundry, hard water leaves its mark in frustrating and costly ways.
With a free, professional water test from Kinetico® Advanced Water Systems, our team will assess your water quality by checking for hardness mineral levels, including iron, as well as more complex contaminants.
Signs of Hard Water Include:
- White spots or mineral deposits on glassware, faucets and fixtures
- Dingy, faded clothing
- Soap and detergent that won’t lather properly
- Reduced efficiency and lifespan of appliances
PFAS Forever Chemicals
In recent years, perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), including Gen X, have been revealed to be highly dangerous water contaminants. Kinetico is familiar with these pollutants and uses a highly effective process recognized by the State of North Carolina, The Water Quality Association and the Centers for Disease Control to combat them.
Reverse osmosis is the best way to deal with PFAS. Our K5 Drinking Water Station® uses several patented steps to address these pollutants and make your water safer and more purified.
Chlorine Taste, Odor & Disinfection Byproducts
Jacksonville’s municipal water is disinfected before it reaches the tap, which can leave behind a noticeable chlorine taste or smell. Disinfection chemical byproducts can also form during treatment, and have been tested in Jacksonville at elevated levels linked with endocrine disruption.
See if chlorine and disinfection chemical byproducts are hurting your water with a free water test. Whole-home chemical filtration helps reduce chlorine and chloramine, while reverse osmosis provides purification for safer drinking water.
