Water quality related plumbing problems can happen because of deposition or corrosion. When minerals precipitate they leave behind a scale in plumbing and appliances that can result in loss of efficiency and costly repairs or replacement. When water conditions cause the plumbing to corrode it can result in white buildup or copper colored staining in fixtures, and ultimately, leaks.

Plumbing Problems & Treatment Options
Corrosion
Water is the universal solvent and it dissolves a little of everything it comes in contact with. The process of water dissolving metals such as copper pipes or metal fittings is called corrosion. Low pH is common in our region and means the water is acidic and is likely to dissolve metals it contacts. Dissolved chlorides from road salting aggravates the corrosive tendency of water, leading to pin hole leaks. When these conditions exist in the presence of copper plumbing a blue-green stain will occur. These conditions shorten the life of your plumbing, water heaters and appliances.
Scaling
Scaling occurs when minerals such as calcium and magnesium precipitate out of the water, usually when heated, and adhere to surfaces within your plumbing, water heating systems or appliances. A rock-like scale builds up on metal surfaces which can cause a restriction in flow and can lessen the efficiency and shorten the life of appliances such as your water heater and dishwasher.

From start to finish they exceeded my expectations. My hard earned money was well spent on my new Kinetico system, making our water safer for my family. I am stunned by their attention to detail and fantastic customer service. I would give more stars if I could!
Prior to the appointment, the people we spoke with answered many questions that we threw at them (often several communications) which we greatly appreciated. We also appreciated that they gave us a quote based on what we really needed and did not try to sell us anything we did not need.
Very happy with our water softener and the customer service at Secondwind Water Systems! We worked with Nate Clark and can’t say enough about him and the gentleman who installed our system!! We recommend them and their system to anyone!!!
Jesse was professional, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. The installation went smoothly and the crew did an excellent job on the install, great attention to detail. The entire process was second to none. I would happily refer customers to you and would be happy to be a reference.
As always it was a pleasure doing business with your company and personnel. Always pleasant and informative and attentive to our concerns or issues. Everyone who services our system every year as well as the techs who installed our new system are a pleasure to deal with.
Terrific company to work with! Awesome products. We did lots of research and had 3 quotes before choosing Secondwind for our water softener and the K5 Reverse Osmosis system. Both systems are topnotch and have changed the livability in our house greatly. We worked with Nate Clark who was so professional, knowledgeable and kind. When he says to contact him with any questions at any point, it’s clear he means it. They stand by their work and products. Truly couldn’t recommend Secondwind more.
