Our water blog provides articles and information relating to water quality in your home and the effects of healthy water on our bodies and lives.
BENEFITS OF WATER TREATMENT IN THE HOME
Filter Water for Your Health
Beat the Odds by Filtering Your Water! A 2019 study linked contaminants in tap water to more than 100,000 cancers over seven years. Use water filters and learn more about your local water quality HERE.
Possible Water Damage Averted From Too High Water Pressure
High water pressure can lead to water damage inside the home
Report finds tap water contaminants in every state
According to the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), nearly 77 million people in the United States were served by water systems with violations of the Safe Water Drinking Act. This post from the NRDC states directly in its very first sentence: “America has a drinking water crisis.” That was written in response to a study…
Water is scarce
Alarms are sounding all around the Southwest — water is scarce! Municipal government’s knee-jerk response is to ask everyone to save water in their homes. Necessary, of course, but modestly effective since these are essentially voluntary efforts.Technology seems to be completely ignored. There are stunning technologies that can save huge amounts of water; technologies that…
Healthy Pools and Spas
Offensive chlorine smell, foggy water, algae problems and mineral build-up can lead to high maintenance fees. If your pool or spa suffers from any of these problems, we have the answer. HydroFLOW is an environmentally friendly, non-invasive, easy-to-install solution that will greatly reduce the time and money you normally invest in pool and spa maintenance.…
Iron and sulfur bacteria issues
Iron Bacteria Iron bacteria are generally more common than sulfur bacteria because iron is abundant in ground water. Iron bacteria are oxidizing agents and combine iron or manganese dissolved in ground water with oxygen. A side effect of the process is a foul smelling brown slime that can cause unpleasant odors, corrode plumbing equipment and…
What does hard water do to our homes?
What does hard water do to our homes… Unsightly white scale on tub, faucets, sinks and countertopsDecreased water flow efficiency throughout the entire houseIncreased possibility of issues in plumbing and drain pipesWater flow blockage for faucets, shower heads and refrigerator ice-makersReduced energy efficiency and service life of dishwashers, washing machines and water heaters Water spots…
Not all carbon is created equal
By “medical grade” carbon, New Water Innovations is acknowledging there are different grades of carbon used in filtration. Typical whole house systems use an 8-30 mesh activated carbon. Carbon that is used in “dialysis” uses 20-40 mesh, which is more expensive and effective. NWI uses the 20-40 mesh carbon used in dialysis (i.e. medical grade).…
The Effect of Hydropath Technology on Silicates
This is a brief description on the effect that Hydroflow has on Silicates, and in particular the difference between this and the effect on calcium carbonate. To summarize, Hydroflow will prevent both new Calcium Carbonate scale from forming on the pipe, and also remove existing Calcium Carbonate scale. Hydroflow will also prevent Silicate-based scale from…
Steamy bath or shower?
How wonderful to step into a refreshing hot, steamy bath or shower, where we get to relax and unwind from the stress of the day. Most of us perform this ritual on a daily basis without a thought about what we are bathing in. Is there something to be concerned about? The answer, unfortunately, is…
Santa Fe’s water
Water, one of Santa Fe’s most precious natural resources, is also one of its leading environmental issues. In Santa Fe, as public awareness of the importance of protecting Santa Fe’s water aquifers increases, so too does the realization that many of the “accepted standard practices” of the past are no longer appropriate to conserve and…
Conditioners replace water softeners
Physical water conditioners are devices that prevent the build-up of hard limescale in a non-chemical manner. They achieve this by influencing the dissolved minerals, calcium and magnesium in a way that prevents them from forming scale (calcium carbonate) in your water pipes, heaters, and appliances. Physical water conditioners work in your water with varying degrees…
