Water treatment is any process that improves the quality of water to make it more acceptable for a specific end-use. The end use may be drinking, industrial water supply, irrigation, river flow maintenance, water recreation, or many other uses.

One of the most common water systems in the United States is the water softener. A water softener like the Kenai EcoPro can be used on both city and well water and can be built to remove various impurities in water, including magnesium and calcium. The focus of a water softener is to remove the scaling buildup that causes spotty dishes, staining, and clogged showerheads, among other things. The savings of a water softener far outweigh the cost. Using soft water can reduce water heating bills. Soft water also requires less detergent for laundry and dishes. Using soft water also eliminates scaling in appliances and significantly extends the life of your water heater.

Most people know it as the “rotten egg smell.” This pungent gas is not only bothersome to the nose but also corrosive and can leach metals from plumbing systems into the water. Corrosion of metals by hydrogen sulfide forms a black precipitate that can stain laundry and bathroom fixtures, darken silverware, and discolor copper and brass utensils. Lucky for those of us with this issue, there are solutions. One of which is the Kenai AirOxPro system. Our system works by oxidizing the sulphur and then removing it through the media bed inside the tank. While most other systems use expensive and dangerous chemicals, our unit uses only the air we breathe to remove sulphur.
