Here in Flagstaff our water is sourced from Upper Lake Mary, springs in the Inner Basin of the Peaks, and from groundwater wells throughout the area.
Underground water is the most common source of water for municipal systems, and it is known to have a higher percentage of minerals compared to surface water. This higher level of mineral content contributes toward making our water hard. You know the effects – it creates scale build-up in faucets and appliances, hastens pipe corrosion, and is detrimental to your skin, hair, and clothing.
So, just soften it and we’re all good, right?!
Not so fast! It’s also important to consider the quality of the water that comes into your home. All of Flagstaff’s municipal water is treated – groundwater is disinfected with chlorine; surface water is treated at one of two treatment plants, using a combination of disinfection (with chlorine), filtration, and other processes. While these treatments provide tap water that meets consumptive standards, is it really the highest quality?
Well, what now?
Let’s take a look at both water softeners and water filtration. It’s not a straight comparison, though, as both target different water-related issues: water softeners focus on eradicating minerals from water, while water filtration systems address a much broader spectrum of water quality issues.
