Having accessible, clean, and safe water is very important. However, not a lot of people realize what is currently in their water, or what they could be potentially exposed to. The strong presence of chemicals, pollutants, and other toxins in our atmosphere cause water to become tainted, even if from an underground source. By getting your water professional tested, you can completely transform your water supply.

What Is Water Treatment and Filtration?

Water filtration or purification is the process of removing chemicals, contaminants, solids, gases, and other harmful toxins from water. Even if you are using your own water supply, you are not immune to the possibility of all of these infiltrating your water system. There are many steps that need to be taken in order to completely cleanse the water. After these are completed, the process takes contaminated water and produces safe drinking water. Read More →

How often do you stop to consider the quality of the water entering your home through your faucets? Well water and municipal water are both vulnerable to contamination.

Pollution has become a fact of life, and in today’s society pollutants are more prevalent than ever before. Chemicals, heavy metals, fertilizers, and other toxins are dumped into the water and released into the air every minute of every day. However, the Clean Water Act has the potential to minimize some pollutant discharge with the concept of “zero discharge.” It sounds too good to be true, so will it ever become a reality?

An Introduction to the Clean Water Act

The Clean Water Act (CWA) was first passed by Congress in 1972 under Richard Nixon. It was the first legislation of its kind to create nationwide standards for the industrial discharge of wastewater. According to the CWA, the discharge of pollutants from any man-made conveyance, like a pipe or tank, into the waters of the United States is illegal. The only way to discharge pollutants into American waters is to obtain a permit.   Read More →
