Dry Itchy Skin?

Are you experiencing dry and itchy skin? Do you have hard water spots on your glass wear? Is your water smelly or bad tasting?

If you said yes to any one of these questions you probably have hard water. DonŐt feel bad. Many of us have the same problem, in fact the majority, if not all of West Texas suffers from hard water. It is extremely rare to find any water supply that is naturally soft, odorless, colorless, and tasteless, but West Texas water in particular has some unique mineral and chemical characteristics that may contribute to these conditions.

Hard water is more abrasive than soft water that is a plain fact. The tiny mineral particles combine with soap curd or detergents to become like little pieces of rock sand paper on your skin. If over a period of time, the structural integrity of your appliances is weakened and your glasses become etched and the life of clothing is reduced by hard water, can you imagine what it is doing to your skin? Hard water is easy to spot and feel. It leaves bathtub rings and scum on your shower walls and clogs you skin pores and clings to your hair, leaving it dry and brittle. What you see on your shower walls and your bathtub rings is what you are feeling on your skin.

But nature is not the only culprit. Any of us on municipally treated water or any water supply treated with chlorine in an effort to make our water potable are in actual fact damaging and drying our skin. Chlorine is an effective chemical agent for disinfection and bleaching, but hardly ideal as a skin conditioner. In actual fact chlorine is a highly toxic chemical, that even at acceptable levels, can contribute to dry eyes and skin irritation as well as exacerbate conditions such as eczema. EcoWater has specific filters designed to eliminate this problem permanently and make your skin feel silky smooth like you have never felt before. WE GUARANTEE IT.

MINERAL SPOTS ON YOUR GLASS WEAR?

What is left on your skin is also left on your glassware. Hard water is created when water passes through shale and limestone rock formations and picks up calcium and magnesium. The stains you see on your glasses are actually the mineral residue left over after the water evaporates. Treated water removes these minerals leaving behind NOTHING, but water with no visible residue.

IS YOUR WATER SMELLY?

The presence Hydrogen Sulfide Gas, more commonly referred to as "rotten egg" or sulfur smell, is caused by decaying vegetation and oil deposits beneath the earth's surface. Water containing hydrogen sulfide is particularly objectionable in coffee, tea and other beverage and alters the appearance and taste of cooked foods. If you smell rotten eggs throughout your home it probably means you have a very high level of Hydrogen sulfide in your water supply.

YOUR WATER MAY LOOK CLEAN...BUT IS IT CLEAN?

Nitrate is a naturally occurring form of nitrogen. It is essential for plant growth and is often added to soil as a fertilizer. Water moving down through soil after rainfall or irrigation carries dissolved nitrates with it into ground water which can eventually contaminate water supplies of many homeowner who use well water or springs. Nitrates are odorless, colorless, and tasteless. It is highly recommended that infants, pregnant women, and seniors refrain from consuming nitrates since they rob the blood of oxygen.
