Let Plumbers Sort out Your Hard Water Concerns



Water with a high pH content is also known as hard water. Hard water can be a great problem because of its considerable calcium and magnesium content. When heated, these minerals get separated from the water and accumulate onto surfaces as mineral deposits, otherwise known as “scale.” This scale can then adversely affect the performance of household fixtures like water lines, as well as become unattractive sights in bathrooms and kitchens. In addition, they’re quite tough to remove.

So how can you tell if you have hard water? Various telltale signs manifest, including what’s already been described—visible scaling which are left over after water evaporates. Scaling appears as white spots or powder on different surfaces, as well as some sort of “coating” on the inside of glassware. Hard water also makes it difficult to lather soap, and the minerals in it can also remain in your hair after a shower.

Perhaps the best way to solve hard water issues is to call qualified plumbers and have them install a water softener. Water softeners make the calcium and magnesium traces in hard water switch places with more desirable minerals like sodium, essentially eliminating the problem with mineral deposits since sodium doesn’t precipitate. Furthermore, you don’t have to worry about sodium accumulation—the amount added to your water is less than 12.5 milligrams per an 8-ounce glass. With the calcium and magnesium gone, you can enjoy showers the way you’re supposed to and not worry about your pipes anymore.

New Water Filter Systems Give You Clean Water



Clean water helps ensure your family’s health and safety. This is something that’s not lost on Edmonton residents, who boast of the cleanest tap water in all of Canada, if not the world. In fact,  a University of Alberta study noted that the city’s tap water beats certain brands of bottled water as far as cleanness is concerned. This can be achieved by installing water filters in your plumbing system.
In general, water-filtration systems may comprise of smaller units installed at faucets, or larger affairs comprising of at least two cartridges. The cartridges are used to filter various contaminants from the flow. Home units are mostly geared to prevent rust and scale, as well as filter sediments.

Notable plumbers can conduct an inspection of your home and plumbing system to determine the proper whole-house filtration system for you. Your plumbing contractor will then recommend the appropriate  model for your home, and offer instructions on the proper pH levels in the water.

Established plumbing companies deal with filtration units from nuvoH20, which are scaled according to the property’s overall land area. The Studio series for example, is best for properties that are no bigger than 92 square metres, while the Manor line is optimal for properties bigger than 185sqm. A reliable water filtration system that is properly installed will have your water smelling and tasting good.

Many Edmonton Heating Systems Will Need Upgrading Before Next Winter


Environment Canada statistics confirmed that the last winter was unbelievably brutal, indicating the season’s increased chill factor and heavier snowfalls all over the country. The cold turned quite icy where heating Edmonton households was taxed to the limit that some systems couldn’t keep up with the capacity required to heat any given space. The last winter, according to Matt MacDonald, a meteorologist from Environment Canada, was so unusually harsh that Quebec and Ontario experienced the coldest February in 115 years.
