Emergencies

Leaks, shutoffs, and advisories. Watch these before you need them.

A Leak at the System

See water at the tank? Put it in bypass, shut the main, and call us. Most leaks are a simple fitting.

Shut Off Water to the Whole House

Find your main shutoff and turn it off fast. Every homeowner should know this one.

Put Your System in Bypass

Two handles, one quarter turn. Water keeps flowing to the house and skips the system.

Boil Water Advisory: What to Know

What an advisory means for your home and your system while it is active.

Salt & Brine Tank

Keeping your softener fed and knowing what normal looks like.

Salt: How Much and How to Check

How full to keep the brine tank, how often to check, and why grimy looking salt is normal.

Water in the Brine Tank

Some water in the tank is normal, even above the salt. Here is when it actually matters.

Salty Taste in the Water

A brief salty taste after regeneration happens. Run cold water a few minutes. Recurring? Call us.

Reverse Osmosis

Everything about the drinking water system under your sink.

Shut Off Your H.E.R.O. RO

How to turn off your reverse osmosis unit under the sink in seconds.

Cloudy Water from the RO Faucet

Usually air after a filter change. Run the RO faucet until the tank empties once or twice.

RO Faucet Running Slow

The storage tank may just be refilling. When slow flow means the filters are due.

RO Faucet Sputtering

Air in the lines after a filter change is normal for a day or two. Just keep using it.

Taste, Smell & Looks

Cloudy water, pink rings, and odd smells explained in under a minute.

Cloudy or Grey Water After Install

Carbon dust or air bubbles. Run cold water from the tub only until it clears.

The Pink Ring in Toilets

It is airborne bacteria, not your water. Why it shows up even with a system installed.

Smell from Hot Water Only

Sulfur smell only on hot taps points to the water heater, not the system. Try the two glass test.

Smelly Bathroom Sink? Try This Test

Fill a glass at the faucet and smell it. If the glass is fine, the drain is the culprit.

System Basics

Clocks, night noises, and what to do in a new home.

Reset the Time After a Power Outage

If your microwave is blinking, check your system clock too so it regenerates at 2 AM.

Noises at Night Are Normal

That 2 AM sound is your system cleaning itself. When noise actually needs a call.

Moved Into a Home with a System?

What the big tank does, what the under sink unit does, and why one tune up is smart.

Storms & Travel

Two quick steps before a hurricane or a vacation.

Hurricane Prep for Your System

Shut the main, set the bypass, and relax. Power loss cannot hurt your system.

Leaving Town? Two Quick Steps

Shut the main and set the bypass before a trip, and how to bring it back online when you return.
