Water Problems

Hard Water is Hard on Your Home

When your home uses hard, unconditioned water, undesirable elements (calcium, magnesium, chlorine, iron and sediment) enter from wells or municipal water supplies. They take a toll on your plumbing, appliances, linens, glassware and more. And that takes a toll on your wallet. The solution is an AvantaPure® Professional Series Water Treatment System by GE. By supplying conditioned water throughout your home, it lets you enjoy the rich rewards of quality water.

The Tell-Tale Signs

You can taste, see and feel the evidence of unconditioned water in your home:

  • Scratchy towels
  • Stiff bed linens and clothes
  • Fabrics that break down prematurely
  • Chlorine and iron tastes in tap water
  • Soaps, shampoos and detergents that lather poorly and rinse slowly
  • Cloudy, spotted glassware that even the best dishwasher can’t fix
  • Mineral deposits on bathroom and kitchen plumbing fixtures
  • Hard-to-remove stains in sinks and toilets

The Hidden Costs

It’s the evidence you don’t see that costs the most. Unconditioned water degrades your home’s plumbing, and robs you in other, less obvious ways:

  • Mineral build-up in pipes can reduce water flow and lead to clogged water pipes
  • Water-using appliances suffer increased wear-and-tear
  • More money is spent on soaps, shampoos and cleaning products
  • Extra time is spent cleaning bathroom and kitchen fixtures, tile and sinks
