Have you noticed that your faucets or other plumbing piping are turning green? It's time to check your water quality. "Hard" water is usually to blame. It can be found in both city water and well water. We've found that Coventry CT has some particularly hard water conditions.
Protect your faucets
"Hard" water is created by excess minerals in the water. The minerals are corrosive and will eat away at the metal of your faucets. Eventually, they will eat right through and you'll have a messy plumbing leak. Corrosion is usually a slow process that creates the slightest of leaks. If you notice a musty or moldy smell when you open your vanity cabinet, take a closer look. The corroded pipe might be leaking. If your faucets are constantly dripping and you notice green on them, it's time to call a water specialist. Taking this step will also protect other major plumbing appliances in your home, like your dishwasher and washing machine.Other signs you have "hard" water
In addition to the green mineral deposits, there are other ways to tell if you have this type of water:- Dull glassware or water spots?
- Soap scum in the sinks and bath tub?
- Funky smell in the water?
