Water Softeners & Filtration questions in Des Moines
Often it can, once we know the cause. In a mid-century Des Moines home, a metallic taste can come from old supply pipes as well as the water itself. Our free water quality test shows what is in your water, and if the pipes are the problem we will say so.
Here is what is typical once we are on site. Water quality test: about 30 minutes. Softener install: 2 to 4 hours. Des Moines is about 35 minutes from our base via I-5 north. We confirm timing with you when you book.
A softener swaps out hardness minerals, like calcium, that cause scale. A filter traps or treats other things, such as chlorine taste, sediment or iron. Some homes need one, some need both and some need neither. Your water test shows which one fits your house.
