The Fuel Company Protects Your Home’s Water Quality

Keep Your Home’s Water Safe and Clean With Our Water Filtration Services!

The water in your home may look all right, but it may not be all right. Water is a major public health concern, and Cape Cod water that has been tested has contained:

• Dissolved solids including lead, arsenic, nitrates, and perchlorate
• Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including benzene, and methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE)
• Microbiological contaminants (bacteria, E. coli)
• Sediment
• Iron from rusting pipes
• Prescription drugs that have been improperly discarded (usually flushed down the toilet)

Reverse Osmosis With AquaSafe

Reverse osmosis is the safest, most effective water filtration system available. It removes sediment and chlorine through a filter. Then, the water is sent at high pressure through a semipermeable membrane, which removes dissolved solids. Once it’s through the membrane, it’s sent through another filter before going to your faucet or appliance. Reverse osmosis removes more than 99% of contaminants.

Whole-House Water Filtration

You protect your entire home with a whole-house water filtration system. First, you and your family have safe, clean, healthy water for drinking, cleaning, cooking, bathing, and more. Second, your water-using appliances, like your dishwasher and washing machine, get more protection from corrosion, as do your home’s pipes.

Point-Of-Use Water Filtration

These filtration systems, which include reverse osmosis, purify water at a point of use, such as your kitchen sink, so that you have purified water for drinking and cooking. You can also add point-of-use filters to your bathroom sink, tub, and shower, providing clean water for brushing teeth and bathing.

Bad water can affect your life in many ways. Obviously, your drinking water won’t taste good, and it has a negative effect on the flavors of your cooking or in coffee and tea. Hard water can adversely alter the structure of yeast and gluten. For example, if you are baking bread, hard water can reduce fermentation from the yeast, leading to tough bread when it’s baked.

Chemicals and minerals in your water affect your skin and hair. Conditions such as eczema and psoriasis can be exacerbated. Your soaps and shampoos may not work well. Hard water can dry out or damage hair and may even cause hair loss.

Poor water quality can damage your laundry. Whites and light colors can yellow or gray. Towels can be stiff and will not absorb water as effectively.

Cleaning is harder, because when your water has minerals and chemicals, it can be harsh on everything from dishes to surfaces like your countertops and floors. A common sign of this is dishes, flatware, and glassware coming out of the dishwasher with film or spots.
