Frequently Asked Questions About Sanford Water Works
Why does my water smell?
Unpleasant odors in water often indicate the presence of contaminants or substances. Common causes include bacterial growth, sulfur compounds, decaying organic matter, chlorine reactions, chemical contaminants, sewage issues, or water heater problems. Each of these can produce distinct smells, such as rotten eggs or musty odors. If you're concerned about your water's smell, Sanford Water Works offers professional testing and analysis services. We'll identify the cause and provide tailored solutions to ensure your water is safe and odor-free.
Is well water or tap water safe to drink?
In Texas, both well water and tap water can be safe for consumption with proper treatment. However, many municipalities recommend using filtered water systems for drinking. Well water quality can vary based on geological conditions and may require regular testing and filtration. Tap water is generally treated to meet safety standards but additional filtration can provide extra protection. At Sanford Water Works, we offer expert guidance and solutions to ensure the safety and quality of your drinking water, whether it's from a well or municipal source.
What is the difference between tap water and reverse osmosis water?
Tap water is provided by municipal systems and undergoes treatment to meet safety standards, but may still contain some impurities. Reverse osmosis (RO) water, often found in bottled form, is purified through a semipermeable membrane, removing 95-97% of impurities including viruses, bacteria, minerals, and other contaminants. This results in exceptionally clean and pure drinking water. If you're interested in experiencing the benefits of a reverse osmosis system for your property, contact Sanford Water Works for professional installation services.
How do I deal with red and black stains in my bathtub and toilets?
Red and black stains in toilets and bathtubs in southwest Texas are typically caused by high levels of iron and manganese in the water. These minerals react with surfaces, creating unsightly stains over time. At Sanford Water Works, we recommend a comprehensive water treatment approach to address this issue. Our services focus on reducing iron and manganese levels in your water supply, effectively eliminating current stains and preventing future occurrences. Contact us to learn more about our tailored solutions for stain-free bathrooms.
What does a water softener system do and do I need one?
A water softener system removes magnesium and calcium, known as 'hardness minerals', from your water. These elements cause scaling, clogged fixtures, and reduced appliance efficiency. Benefits of a water softener include reduced scaling, improved soap efficiency, and extended appliance life. If you're experiencing issues related to hard water, such as scaling or increased soap consumption, a water softener can be highly beneficial. Sanford Water Works specializes in water softener system installation. Contact us to schedule an installation and improve your water quality.
Is RO water good for me?
Reverse osmosis (RO) water is considered one of the healthiest drinking water options. The RO process removes 95-97% of impurities, including viruses, bacteria, and minerals. For enhanced quality, a pH alkaline-adjusting filter can be added to the RO system. If you prioritize clean, pure drinking water, an RO system is an excellent choice. Contact Sanford Water Works for reliable reverse osmosis system installation services and experience the benefits of high-quality RO water.
Can I save water with an irrigation system?
An effectively installed irrigation system can significantly improve water efficiency. It allows for controlled water distribution, preventing wasteful runoff by delivering water directly to plant root zones. Integrating smart sensors further enhances conservation by detecting existing moisture levels. With over 50 years of experience, Sanford Water Works specializes in water-efficient irrigation systems. We prioritize water conservation, especially crucial in South Texas. Contact us to explore how our irrigation solutions can help you save water and contribute to environmental conservation.
How much does an irrigation system cost?
The cost of an irrigation system for a typical yard generally ranges from $3,000 to $5,000. However, the final price can vary based on factors such as yard size, system complexity, component types, and additional features. For a precise estimate tailored to your specific needs, we recommend contacting Sanford Water Works. Our team will assess your requirements and provide detailed pricing information for our irrigation system installation services.
How long does it take to install an irrigation system?
