How can I Tell if I Need a Water Treatment System?

Monday, July 3rd, 2017

water-handsIf you’re getting your water from a city water main, and not a well, then you probably know that your water supply goes through a treatment process before it reaches your home. The efficacy of these water treatment facilities varies from city to city, though most of them are good enough to remove the majority of harmful materials from the water supply.
