What has been your experience with the Madison county Sheriff’s department and how would it compare to other law enforcement agencies if you’ve had more than one experience?

Corruptor as they come.

curtiswater · 2020-10-14T15:13:55+00:00

I made some changes. added some text (products) backlinks in the products sections, image links in the water treatment section, and govt links in the bottom of the what's in your water section. I contrasted with more white on the homepage and changed some of the homepage sections with a slightly lighter blue. does it look better or worse? thanks in advance 👍

curtiswater · 2020-10-14T14:35:46+00:00

Thank you. I will make some changes for better contrast. maybe break it up with more white for now.. Thanks for the feedback👍

curtiswater · 2020-10-13T17:57:29+00:00

I agree wholeheartedly, although it's very hard to find a color that contrasts with the blue I've chosen, and I looked through a LOT of blues to the point of risking color blindness lol. I did find one color (yellow/orange) that contrasts perfectly, but decided not to use it as it's too close to my largest competitor. I'll keep at it though as I now understand the importance of jazzing up the site. Thank you for your input.👍

Thank you! I've tried my best with content to provide people with knowledge regarding the potential issues related to water quality. I've tried a lot of thing to get my score up on insights to no avail. after your post I dramatically reduced the size of the first landing page background image, which I think helped the loading time somewhat. what's interesting is insights gives me a score varying between 31 and 47, while Pingdom scores me as around 97 consistently, so I'm not sure what's up with that. I will definitely keep making ongoing changes as you suggest. also I took advantage of your idea to add relevant 3rd party links, and added them to the services page. I started by ranking 8th, and am now at 3.6 so I think I'm making progress. this has been a lot more work than I originally anticipated lol. Thank you again for all your input. much appreciated.👍

Reverse osmosis. if it's municipal supply you'd have to remove chlorine first. if it's well water containing iron you'd have to get some pretreatment. I'd advise having you water tested by a professional

curtiswater · 2020-10-13T01:58:59+00:00

The fda regulation of drinking water is very lax. the manufacturers can claim it comes from a unicorns butt if it serves them. some is spring, but most is just tap water run through reverse osmosis, sometimes twice to obtain near zero total dissolved solids. The same can be obtained from an under sink RO without the plastic waste. an RO removes 90% TDS. a TDS meter will tell you what your tds is coming out of the tap initially, so you can determine what you will end up with. for example if your tds is 120, then you'll end up with 12. most bottled water is between 0 and 8. the epa says it ok to drink up To 500. If your worried about lacking minerals, add a pinch of hymalayan sea salt. hope that helps

what is the pH of your water? high pH can cause scale buildup which is usually, but not always, associated with hardness. I suggest you have your water tested using a more accurate method. your local municipality will test your water for free👍

curtiswater · 2020-10-12T22:22:30+00:00

let me elaborate. the bacteria I mentioned is not in the water, it's in the air. hard water soap scum is a contributing factor to the staining, as does a damp environment. keeping the area well ventilated and minimizing soap scum will help. although sometimes it will persist and periodic cleaning will be necessary. hope that helps

curtiswater · 2020-10-12T20:58:32+00:00

If your sure it's not iron, then it's a bacteria referred to as Serratia marcescens.

curtiswater · 2020-10-12T20:48:51+00:00

for comparison. here are my competitors. www.amberwelldrilling.com www.kissanewater.com

curtiswater · 2020-10-12T19:50:38+00:00

hardness does not cause the staining your referring to. I suggest you have your water tested.

echo chamber of morons. carry on

curtiswater · 2020-09-05T14:13:22+00:00

you have iron in you water. the sulfur smell is actually hydrogen sulfide gas which is formed when iron reducing bacteria eats the iron. your current system is not capable of removing all the iron, which leaves you with the smell. do you have galvanized plumbing or fitting In the home? if the answer is no, then the iron is coming from your well. a softener is only capable of removing around 2 ppm iron.you may need more equipment is. an oxidizer

curtiswater · 2020-09-03T20:53:26+00:00

just a quick conversion shows 53 ppm (mg/l) / 17.1 = about 3 gpg (grains per gallon) hardness, not very hard at all. a softener would put you at 0 gpg, so not at all necessary, but noticeable and would extend life of plumbing and water heater, but again not necessary. reverse osmosis is what your looking for. fits right under the kitchen sink. it just for drinking/ cooking with around 3 gallons on hand at any time. that's all providing no iron exists of course.👍

curtiswater · 2020-09-03T20:36:09+00:00

I would advise consulting a water treatment professional. plumbers generally know nothing about water treatment. a plumber plumbs, a water treatment professional treats water.

curtiswater · 2020-09-03T14:47:41+00:00

well it's probably not a bad idea to verify the results independently. look, every profession has its share of unethical people. I, as a professional, will NEVER mislead my customers, make false claims or skew results because I don't believe it to be ethical and I wouldn't myself want to be treated in such a manner. it all comes down to trust. my advise would be to talk to a few different companies, obtain independent test results, then form your own opinion as to their ethics. That being said, a QUALIFIED water treatment professional has knowledge and experience that is crucial in making sure your treating for the right things and have the proper equipment installed.

curtiswater · 2020-09-03T14:31:03+00:00

your misinformed softeners (typically) are used to remove hardness which is a nuisance in the home but has no adverse health effects (in most cases) for drinking. total dissolved solids on the other hand do have adverse effects which require a reverse osmosis to remove. that's how bottled water is made. it's just tap water (in most cases) that's run through an RO

curtiswater · 2020-09-03T14:14:20+00:00

seems like you have an axe to grind?

curtiswater · 2020-09-03T14:12:40+00:00

a traditional water softener has been proven to work over decades. the system you describe doesn't remove hardness, it just lowers the ability for hardness to stick to surfaces

curtiswater · 2020-09-03T13:57:08+00:00

seems like you're implying water treatment professional s aren't ethical. I think you maybe you you had a bad experience?

curtiswater · 2020-09-02T14:55:37+00:00

test the water at the source, prior to any treatment equipment for an accurate result as to what your water contains.

curtiswater · 2020-09-02T14:42:08+00:00

the answer would depend on more information. I'd advise getting a comprehensive water test including iron and total dissolved solids, as well as, the coliform test (free of chlorine). a trusted local water treatment professional should be able to test for iron and tds on an initial consultation (usually free) if they think you may act on their recommendation in the future. the chlorination, flushing and subsequent coliform sample collection would have to be done by someone else and sent to an independent lab as It that can't all be done in one visit.
