The best type of water treatment equipment for your home or business will depend on several factors, including your water source, water quality, and specific needs. Contact HydraLux Systems for a free consultation and we can recommend the best solution for you.

Whether you’re on city water or a private well, various contaminants and imbalances can impact the quality, taste, and safety of your water. Below are some of the most common issues — and how HydraLux can help.

🔶 Brown, Yellow, or Orange Stains

Where it shows up: Tubs, showers, toilets, sinks, or anywhere water sits for a period of time.

The culprit: Iron — most commonly found in well water.

Solution: Our Iron & Sulfur System removes iron without chemicals, protecting your plumbing, fixtures, and appliances from unsightly staining and buildup.

🟦 Blue or Green Stains & Corrosion

Where it shows up: Faucets, fixtures, tubs, toilets, and shower walls.

The culprit: Low pH / Acidic Water — water with a pH below 7.0 becomes aggressive, corroding metal and leading to staining and premature wear of plumbing components.

Solution: Our Acid Neutralizer System restores proper pH balance, protecting your home from costly corrosion.

⚪ White Deposits or Water Spots

Where it shows up: Glassware, shower doors, coffee makers, faucets, and more.

The culprit: Hard Water — caused by high levels of dissolved calcium and magnesium.

Solution: We install high-efficiency water softeners that use true ionic exchange — not “salt-free” gimmicks — to fully remove hardness. Our recommended softeners are demand-initiated for efficiency and ensure strong flow rates without restriction.

🟡 Rotten Egg Smell

Where it shows up: Taps, laundry, showers — anywhere water is used.

The culprit: Hydrogen Sulfide Gas (Sulfur) — typically caused by the reaction of organic matter with sulfur-containing minerals or from sulfate-reducing bacteria in water heaters.

Solution: Our chemical-free Iron & Sulfur Systems eliminate sulfur odor at the source, leaving your water fresh and clean.

🧪 Chemical or “Bleachy” Smell

Where it shows up: Most common in homes with municipal (city) water.

The culprit: Chlorine — used by city suppliers to disinfect water.

Solution: Carbon Filters remove chlorine from every tap in your home.
