Maine Water Services

Maine Water Services from A-Z Water Systems is the best way to improve the water quality you have in your home or property. From water testing and filter installation to well installation and hydrofracking. Do you know the quality of your water? Is your well water pressure low?

They are experts in water flow and can test the quality of your water.

Maine Water Services

You should know the quality of the water you drink, especially if you aren’t on a municipal water line. Towns and cities maintain the quality of your water when it runs through their pipes. But if you are out away from the larger towns and cities, you probably have to rely on well water. Well-water sources can vary greatly in quality. That’s why it’s extra important to know the quality of your well specifically. It’s even possible that your well and your neighbor’s well have different qualities. So don’t assume yours is fine because theirs is. Get your well tested with A-Z Water Systems.

Once you know the quality of the water from your well, you’ll know what to filter out, if anything. There are several types of filters A-Z Water Systems could install in your home. They vary in technology and effectiveness. Standard carbon filters do well for many particulates and even can help remove radiation such as Radon from your water. But non-organics and dissolved chemicals can’t be removed this way. That’s why A-Z WS can also install ion-exchange filters, and reverse osmosis filters. Ion exchange filters can replace elements like iron, nitrates, and even arsenic. Reverse Osmosis, however, is the best way to filter your water and remove any contaminants. Think of it like atomic filtration.

Contact A-Z Water Systems to have your water quality checked, filters installed, or a new well installed.

What Is Radon?

What Is Radon? It is a form of radiation that is very unsafe over long-term exposure. It can move through air or water sources. Radon can seep through the concrete in your basement and contaminate the air inside your home or through your water. Either way, it’s very bad for your lungs specifically. It’s is the 2nd leading cause of Lung Cancer, after tobacco smoking. It is also discovered in 1 out of 3 homes in Maine. It should be tested when a home is up for sale, but it can be tested for at any time. If you don’t have a report for it in your home, you should have one. Contact Maine Radon Pro to schedule your test.

What Is Radon?

Radon is dangerous and fairly common, but it is easily mitigated. By placing a proper filtration system in your water intake or an air filter in your basement, you can reduce contamination to minimal and safe levels. In the air, a rating of 4 pCi/L, or in water, 4,000 pCi/L, is a dangerous level to live in. Over time it accumulates and can cause cancer. Not only is Radon Mitigation relatively easy, typically being installed in a day or less, it’s not very expensive. It is expected by law that when a house is sold, it is to be tested for radon levels. So if your home has been in your family for generations, it may never have been tested. It’s worth knowing if you and your family are being slowly irradiated every day.

This radiation is natural and seeps in from underground sources. It passes through rock, soil, and just about everything. Don’t take the risk of leaving your home to your children without knowing about this health risk. Learn more from this website.
