A New Water System For Our Home

We have enjoyed great success from our water well for the past 30+ years however, the water is hard, and recently it had an off-taste (vs. the usual no taste) and we’re getting a build up on the coffee maker.  So, it was obvious that the old EcoWater System softener had ceased to function properly.  After researching it, I opted to go with a locally owned business in Lenoir City called Aqua Clear.  We knew we needed a particulate filter and softener and since we were a little concerned about bacteria in the future, we also got a UV system to kill any potential.  And while we were at it, we decided to go whole-hog and add a reverse osmosis filter (RO) under the sink for our drinking water.  This is the main system that was beautifully installed.

This is the RO system and it took up a whole cabinet side.

Since the RO filter is very slow, a three-gallon storage tank is required to furnish the water as needed.

The beauty was that it forced us to clean out the un-needed stuff under the sink.

Hopefully these systems will ensure great water for the rest of our lives and now it’s time to clean up the coffee maker.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by Almost Heaven South.
