Well & City Water "rotten egg smell"

If you have a well and you smell a rotten eggs it is probably sulfur. If you are drinking city water then it is called bacteria. Hydrogen sulfide is a gas that resembles the "rotten egg smell". It could be caused organically from decaying plant matter, rain or through groundwater run off.

Cloudy Water and Turbidity

The higher the turbidity, the higher the health risks including gastrointestinal disease, Giardia, and Cryptosporidium. People that are immunocompromised are at higher health risks because contaminants like viruses or bacteria can become attached to the suspended solids.

Brown or Yellowish Water

It could be Tannins in your city or well water. It's the natural breakdown of organic or decaying vegetation. It also might be a buildup of sediment in your pipes.

Arsenic Affects

Arsenic is airborne and it can be reached through rocks and soil and enter your water source. It’s used in pesticides, tobacco, wood preservatives and it is released into the environment by volcanoes and mining processes. Arsenic gets into the body through the consumption of contaminated water or food.

Radium

When Radium decays which is a natural process in nature, it turns into a gas and is called Radon. It gets into our water system through the air and ground. It is difficult to detect because you cannot see, smell or taste it even though you maybe drinking it.

Hardness

What’s the difference between hardness and TDS? Hardness can be measured in grains per gallon and is minerals calcium and magnesium that become hard as a rock and is difficult to remove.

Bacteria & Viruses

Researchers say there is over 10 Million bacteria in a glass of water. The environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires all public water to be tested and reported each year. However, if you check your zip code you will find that Boise, Meridian, and the surrounding communities are several years behind the reporting procedure.

Chloramine

When you mix chlorine and ammonia together it becomes a disinfectant called Chloramine. Chloramine is dangerous because it is used in some water utilities distribution facilities because it is more stable than Chlorine, but the dangerous effects can last a long time.

Scale

Mineralized water combined with soap scum and calcium and magnesium can discolor shower stalls, toilets and create etching on glass shower doors. It’s called scale buildup and it is very difficult to clean and keep clean.

Staining

Even if your water appears to be clear at first you might see orange water once exposed to the air and some staining on your sinks may appear. This is caused from iron or magnesium and the longer it sits without being cleaned the stronger the stain becomes. Hard water can etch glass and crystal.

PFAS

110 Million Americans' and over 33 states drinking water is contaminated with PFAS according to the environmental working group. These chemicals are called "Forever Chemicals". They are highly toxic fluorinated chemicals that affect us on a cellular level. They build up in our bodies never breaking down or eliminate.

HALO ACETIC ACIDS

When water is disinfected with chlorine, byproducts form when it reacts with other natural occurring chemicals in water.

Read More

Nitrates

Most of the nitrates that end up in the city’s water supply comes from agricultural runoff that contains nitrogen fertilizer and manure. Everyone is exposed to nitrate, but it poses the biggest risk to infants and the elderly.

Iron and Odor

Iron and magnesium can damage healthy skin cells and cause early onset of wrinkles. Your hair becomes dry and brittle. Excessive amounts of iron will cause many health problems. Every time you shower you become saturated in oxidized (yellow to red) or oxidized (clear) iron. Iron acts as a harmful peroxide.
