Ca²⁺

Hard Water

Calcium and magnesium minerals cause scale buildup on pipes, appliances, and fixtures — reducing efficiency and lifespan.

Fe

Iron & Rust

Iron in well water leaves orange/red stains on sinks, tubs, and laundry. Can cause metallic taste and odour.

H₂S

Sulphur / Rotten Egg Odour

Hydrogen sulphide gas produces a distinct rotten egg smell. Common in well water and some municipal supplies.

Cl₂

Chlorine & Chloramine

Added by municipalities for disinfection, chlorine and chloramine cause unpleasant taste and odour and can affect skin and hair.

NO₃⁻

Nitrates

Nitrates from agricultural runoff or septic systems can be harmful, especially for infants. Requires point-of-use treatment.

PFAS

PFAS / Forever Chemicals

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances are persistent contaminants linked to health concerns. Found in many municipal water supplies.

TDS

High TDS / Dissolved Solids

Elevated total dissolved solids affect taste, clarity, and the performance of appliances. Common in both well and city water.

Mn

Manganese

Manganese causes black or brown staining and a bitter metallic taste. Often found alongside iron in well water.
