Water Heaters Westminster Colorado

Two water heaters in Westminster Colorado were installed the same day about 12 years ago. They both started leaking within 2 weeks of each other. Chuck The Water Man is going to replace them this morning.  The customer purchased a water softener from us a few years ago.  Apparently, they were quite happy with their service from us over the years. Thanks for the repeat business guys.

Water Filters Denver Colorado

Water filters are common in Denver Colorado. While a lot of folks in Denver Colorado have water softeners, water filters are even more common. The reason is simple… Denver’s water does contain hardness, but not as much as the surrounding cities. Most people who have softeners have lived in a harder water area before and have grown to really like all the luxuries of softened water. Others may have sensitivity to hard water which contributes to dry skin, dry scalp & dry hair issues. Either way, a water softener in Denver is more of a preference than a necessity.

Water Filters are used in Denver Colorado for totally different reasons. Many water filters remove particulates like sand, grit and other sediments. In older sections of some cities the water mains may not be in the best of condition. Particulate filters are good for removing these types of contaminants. The most common filters contain carbon for the removal of Chlorine & other disinfectants along with their byproducts. Other filters can be qualified as “purifiers” because they significantly improve the quality of the drinking water by removing high percentages of  health related contaminants from water (inasmuch as they are present in the water to begin with). These water filters are Reverse Osmosis & Ultra Filters. In Denver Colorado, most folks put in water filters for the “comfort factor”. They consider it “water quality insurance”. They have these filters as a security just in case something happens to the quality of the water being fed to their home.  Water quality violations are common these days.  It seems like every day there is some kind of story around the country about major compromises of water quality.  Certainly cities & towns in Colorado have had more than our share of problems with serious water quality problems.  Maybe it really is an individuals own responsibility to be the final gate in the water delivery system. Just make sure if you do invest in a water filter, that it really will protect you in the event of a water quality breach.

Water Storage Tanks

Water Storage Tanks (cisterns) are needed in many Colorado homes. Lots of private wells up & down the Front Range produce water very slowly and often run out of water. In these cases a large water storage tank can be installed in the basement along with a pump to re-pressurize the stored water to the house.  There are lots of advantages to this kind of water storage scheme. For Instance… If you have your own well & well pump, you know you lose your water when the power goes out. No electricity, no pump, no water. If you store say… 300 gallons of water in your basement and it’s already hooked up to a pump, all you need is power for the pump. This is a small 115 Volt pump. Remember, It’s not pumping from 600 feet down a hole. It’s only pumping from your basement.  Just set an in inexpensive little generator outside your house and run a cord to it during a power outage.  You have the same water pressure as with the power on.  (until you use up the 300 gallons).

You can store as much or as little as you want or as you have room for.  We have some customer that store thousands of gallons and some that only store about 175 gallons. The price tag will vary with the size of the system you choose to install.

Whole House Reverse Osmosis

Whole House Reverse Osmosis is probably the most complex installation we do. Yesterday, in Boulder Colorado, we relocated a Whole House R O only a few feet to accommodate the customer’s new solar system he’s having installed. It only took about 2 hours, so we tacked it on to the end of the day.

Water Filters Colorado

Water filters for Colorado wells come in many Models. Today we serviced a Homespring in Arvada Colorado. The HomeSpring is an amazingly versatile water filter.  The annual service, cleaning & testing was completed without incident.

Homespring routine service

Also today, I’ll be doing a routine annual service on a Homespring water filtration unit.  That consists of cleaning, integrity testing and a series of other tests to ensure the water filter is working and will continue to work properly for another year.

Rinnai Tankless Water Heater Service

Chuck The Water Man is headed to an apartment complex in Denver Colorado this morning to try ‘n figure out another “primary / secondary” Rinnai Tankless Water Heater configuration that was installed by some other contractor.  I am suspect that the order of the piping is not correct… we’ll see.

Bad Well Water

There is bad well water in Colorado. We see it every day. I have 2 residential stops later this afternoon. Both calls resulted from people who watched a spotlight segment on CBS 4, called Haystack Colorado.  Both customers describe their water as “stinky”. Both are on private wells. One in Littleton Colorado.  The other in Golden Colorado. I’ll let you know how they go.

Commercial Water Softener Service

Today Chuck The Water Man will do service on a commercial water softener in Littleton Colorado.  The client is a medium sized restaurant.  A few weeks ago they lost water pressure.  We diagnosed the water softener as the culprit.  The resin in the softener is old and has begun to gel, thereby Plugging up the flow of water.  We plan to extract the old resin and replace it with new resin.  This water softener is about 4 times the size & volume of a residential water softener.

Water Softener Repairs

Chuck The Water Man will be replacing an old obsolete control valve on a water softener out in Bennett Colorado this morning.  Later this afternoon, I will repair a reverse osmosis unit and service a water softener for a family in Commerce City Colorado.
