Understanding Chloramine and How to Remove It
August 25th, 2009Chloramine is used to disinfect most municipal water supplies including Indianapolis Indiana and surrounding suburbs. The following article published by the University of Nebraska details what chloramine is, and how you can remove it. I was actually surprised to learn that Reverse Osmosis Systems do not work for this compound. Only granular activated carbon will remove chloramines. See related article for details

Liquid Assets: The Story of Our Water Infrastructure
March 3rd, 2009I recently viewed a documentary called Liquid Assets: The Story of Our Water Infrastructure that was an incredibly informative and easy to understand demonstration of the connection between the United State’s drinking water, its subsequent relationship to storm and waste water, and the potential problems caused by our country’s failing infrastructure. It was fascinating to see the magnitude of what major metropolitan areas face to keep our water safe and accessible. In addition, the film highlights some areas where communities are falling short of this goal and how it is affecting overall water quality. To find a full broadcast of this amazing documentary in your area, please click here. The YouTube video trailer for Liquid Assets can be found below.
What’s The Difference?
December 16th, 2008It’s fairly safe to say that most of us go through a fairly similar process when looking to make improvements to our homes. From new appliances to service work, the process seems to take on the all-too-common pattern of making calls, comparing products based on price and quality, and trying to select the best value for the money.
Articles have sited over and over again how the information age has brought transparency to marketing and products. Consumers are, or at least have the capability of being, ultimately informed about the products and services they need. This proliferation of information has also created confusion, compounded by the difficulty of separating fact from fiction and the ever-stressful task of locating truly-reliable companies.
Especially in these times where most of our attention is focused on the straining economy, we all want and need to see our dollars go as far as possible.
In our industry there are many companies that offer very similar if not the same products. So, when you ask yourself, “What’s the difference?” we can confidently say that we believe the answers to be service and longevity.
After selecting a quality product, the most important thing a company can provide is a comprehensive in-house warranty. And then of course they need to be around to honor it! With a quality product you should not need the warranty, because the product will perform as expected. However, in the event that you do need to call in your warranty, there is nothing better than being able to make one call to resolve the issue.
As difficult as it may be to watch and wait to see how the economy will respond, we find there are some potential positive outcomes for consumers in this unprecedented situation. We believe that there may be a return in the relationship customers have with their service providers by recognizing the value and importance of supporting businesses in their local communities. We also think there may be a trend towards improved customer service and the process of customizing products to fit consumers’ needs.
At Indianapolis Soft Water Service, we are committed to top notch products and uncompromising service. We have been customizing water conditioning systems for residences and businesses since 1964.
No Salt Systems
December 16th, 2008Customers frequently ask, “Do those no-salt systems really work?” and according to the WQA and the IWQA, the answer is not black and white. The WQA has not certified any physical water conditioners (no-salt systems) because they have no quantifiable way to measure the product’s success. Part of the difficulty is that these systems may work well in some applications and fail in other very similar settings. Most physical water conditioners utilize various technologies such as magnets or other electronic devices, with the intent of keeping scale-causing minerals in a free-flowing state until they exit your plumbing. However, is important to note that these scale-reduction systems do not actually claim to soften water. While the debate continues as to whether these no-salt systems actually work, one thing is certain―if you prefer whiter laundry and softer skin, a water softener should be your product of choice.
