Signs of Water Quality Problems
In some instances, it can be obvious that your home or business has water quality issues. However, in most cases, it can be difficult to tell whether your house or commercial property has water quality problems.
One way that you can find out if your home or business has water quality problems is to have your water quality tested. At Fagundes Plumbing Heating AC, if your home or business uses well or town water, we can perform a water test onsite and have your results immediately. Because we don’t have to send your samples to a lab to be tested, you don’t have to wait weeks for results. Instead, we will be able to tell you that day if you have water quality problems. From there, our experienced plumbers can quickly and efficiently determine what’s causing your water quality issues and repair the problem right away.
In addition to having your water tested, there are a few other ways homeowners and businesses can determine whether they have water quality issues.
The following are common signs that your home or business has water quality problems:
- Bad Taste – If your water is heavily chlorinated or if you have hard water, it can sometimes make your water taste bad. If you install/upgrade your water filtration system or use a water softener, you may be able to solve this issue.
- Skin and Hair Problems – If your water isn’t clean and healthy, and especially if you have hard water, grooming products, such as shampoo and soap, won’t work as well. This can leave your skin feeling itchy and cause you to develop skin problems. It can also lead to your hair not being as clean as normal, resulting in it looking dull.
- Limescale Buildup – If you have hard water, it can lead to a buildup of limescale on your faucets and showerheads. As the limescale builds up, it can block your showerheads and faucets, which will make them much less effective.
- Foggy Dishes – If you have hard water, or your water isn’t clean and healthy, when you wash your dishes, whether by hand or in the dishwasher, you may find that they don’t appear as clean after you’re done. Hard water can leave water stains on your dishes, which can cause items like glasses to look foggy and your cutlery to appear less shiny.

Water Quality Solutions We Offer
Different water treatment systems tackle specific issues. Which treatment is right for your home depends on your home’s water. Before any system is installed, our experienced water quality specialists will test your home’s water and provide an analysis.
The water quality solutions we provide include:
- Water Softeners – This is a type of water filtration solution that removes the high concentrations of magnesium and calcium from your water supply that cause hard water.
- Whole House Water Filtration – This is a water filtration system that is designed to bring clean and healthy water to every faucet and showerhead in your home. It is installed at your main water line and reduces contaminants like sulfur, iron, chlorine, and more from your water.
- Activated Carbon Filter: Absorbs organic contaminants to improve the taste and smell of water; can remove metals such as lead and copper
- Ion Exchange Unit: Helps to balance hard water by removing calcium, magnesium, and other minerals; can also remove fluoride, radium, and barium
- Reverse Osmosis (RO) - Reverse osmosis involves purifying your water. It does this by using a semi-permeable membrane (synthetic lining) to filter your water. RO is able to filter out contaminants such as dirt, chlorine, nitrates, sodium, and dissolved inorganic/organic compounds, as well as some pesticides, dioxins, chloroform, and petrochemicals.
- Distillation Unit: Removes nitrates, sodium, bacteria, heavy metals, and most organic compounds; kills bacteria
Some homes may benefit from a combination of water filtration and water treatment systems.

FAQs About Water Treatment Systems in Lowell
What's the Difference Between Water Treatment and Water Filtration?
Water treatment and water filtration are often used interchangeably, but they are separate processes.
Water filtration’s main job is to remove sediment, suspended solids, and other larger particles, including bacteria. Much of what is removed by water filtration can be seen with the naked eye. Filtration improves the taste, color, and purity of the water. Whole-house filtration systems are installed at the main water line and improve the water throughout the house. Point-of-use filters remove the impurities at a specific place such as the kitchen faucet.
As wonderful as water filtration is at improving water quality, the method has its limitations. Smaller particles can only be removed with a water treatment system. Water treatment addresses trace chemicals, minute organisms, and viruses that can make people sick. It does not remove larger suspended particles as a filter does.
You may need a water treatment system if you notice any of these signs:
- Change in hair texture/health
- Recurring stomach problems
- Discolored water
- Foul smells
- Stains on your clothes after washing
- Limescale buildup on appliances using water
What are the Benefits of Water Purification?
Changing the makeup of your water can significantly impact how you will see, smell, and taste what comes out of your home’s faucets and shower heads.
Water purifying systems have many advantages.
- Save Money: Water purification systems will pay for themselves over time by eliminating the need to buy bottled water.
- Reduce Pipe Damage: If contaminants are left to accumulate in your home’s pipes, they will eventually cause damage to your plumbing system. This can lead to water leaks and broken sewer lines.
- Extend the Life of Your Clothes: Excess minerals and pollutants can damage clothing with each wash. A water treatment system can remove the contaminants that accelerate the breakdown of fibers and reduce color vibrancy.
- Decrease Health Concerns: Allergies, rashes, hair damage, and illnesses can all be reduced when the water you use is as pristine as possible.
What Can a Home Water Treatment System Add to Your Water?
Water treatment – also called water purification – for Lowell homes does more than remove the smallest of harmful substances. These systems also add beneficial elements to the water. For example, calcium can be added if the water’s pH is too low. Viruses can be killed by adding chlorine or iodine.
