Common water contaminants in Hill Country & Eagle Ford

Hardness Minerals
What it is – hard water contains calcium and magnesium minerals which bond with everything they touch leaving “limescale” in their wake.Treatment – Our guaranteed water softener provides the best option for soft water on the market. It improves the water throughout your entire home while protecting your appliances and fixtures.
Iron

What it is – Iron can come in a couple different forms including dissolved and non-dissolved. Both of which can leave red/orange stains on your sinks, tubs, and toilets and can be extremely hard to remove. Iron can also cause bacteria to grow and let off an unpleasant smell.

Treatment – Our guaranteed water softener provides the best option for soft water on the market. It improves the water throughout your entire home while protecting your appliances and fixtures.

Chlorine
What it is – Chlorine is a chemical used by municipal & local water treatment plants to reduce harmful bacteria in the water supply. While this sounds good, chlorine and chloramines can cause a bacteria of their own to grow called trihalomethanes (TTHM) which is quite unsafe to drink or bathe in.Treatment – The most efficient Chlorine reduction filter is Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) or Catalytic Carbon. Due to the high level of chlorine added to water by cities, you will really appreciate your water with chlorine reduction. See our Whole House Filtration page for more information.
Chromium 6

A new study by the Environmental Working Group reports that local drinking water contains hexavalent chromium, a toxic metal that has been linked to cancer. While the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency does not require the testing for the metal, the survey found that levels in our local water were pushing the levels proposed as a safety limit by authorities. This contaminant has been proven to cause cancer.

Dirt & Sediment
What it is – dirt & sediment is just as it sounds. This is typically most common in well water or surface water that hasn’t gone through a treatment facility.Treatment – Dirt and sediment are found in almost all water supplies and will decrease the efficiency and lifespan of your appliances. For example, sediment in a water heater can prevent the heat from transferring to the water in the tank once sediment has built up in the bottom. Our whole house filtration system can help with this problem.
Other Contaminants
What they are – common contaminants in our area can include nitrates, lead, arsenic, pharmaceuticals, and more. These are not included in the free water test, however, we do offer full laboratory testing at an affordable price.Treatment – Protecting the water in your home is important, however ensuring the purity of the water you are putting in your body is even more crucial. Our Reverse Osmosis drinking water system will give you a peace of mind that your drinking water is healthy, and you are going to fall in love with this drinking water system that can provide up to 50 gallons per day of delicious water.

"My dad had a unit installed by Gaines about 20 years ago, and it still is very functional to this day. Just the other day Gaines soft water came over and helped me replace my cousins old unit, and they were very gracious and humble about it. I suggest this company very much and highly recommend you go with them. They are there for you, friendly, and know how to fix your problems."

"Bought a system about 2 years ago. The price was great, the service was wonderful, and I couldn't have been happier. Last week I had a problem with the system. Not only did I reach someone on a Saturday morning, but they helped me troubleshoot the problem and provided instructions on how to fix it. The softener is a machine with moving parts, and like all machines parts can break. The response of the company when that happens is what truly matters, and they were spot on!"

"My brother recommended this company to me. I have some very hard water and nobody has fixed the problems until Gaines Water. The owner listened to us and then offered us a system customized to meet our needs and which also was within our budget! It was also not a high-pressure sales call (many of the competitors were this way). Turnaround time from my first phone call to the company to the sales presentation and then the install was quick. Everyone was professional and friendly. And no more water problems! Thank you to everyone at Gaines who was involved here. Highly recommend Gaines Soft Water."
