Preguntas más frecuentes

¿Por qué se manchan los platos de mi lavavajillas?

Las manchas y rayas en los platos y cubiertos después de lavarlos en un lavavajillas automático generalmente se deben a la presencia de calcio y magnesio en el suministro de agua. Esto se ha vuelto más significativo desde que se prohibieron los fosfatos en los detergentes para lavavajillas. La solución a este problema es la instalación de un ablandador de agua, que elimina el calcio y el magnesio en el suministro de agua.

¿Qué causa la acumulación en mi ducha?

El calcio y el magnesio en el suministro de agua combinados con el jabón forman una cuajada gris y pegajosa que se adhiere a las bañeras, los azulejos y el vidrio. Además, cuando las gotas de agua se evaporan, el carbonato de calcio se recombina como piedra caliza, dejando un depósito muy duro y difícil de eliminar. El ablandamiento del agua que ingresa a su casa resolverá este problema.

¿Por qué mi ropa limpia se ve gris?

Cuando el calcio y el magnesio del agua se mezclan con jabón, se forma una cuajada gris pegajosa que se adhiere a la ropa. Esta es la fuente del color gris. Existen numerosos productos químicos que se pueden utilizar para controlar este problema, pero acortan la vida útil de la tela. Al ablandar el agua, no solo eliminará este problema, sino que también puede reducir sustancialmente el uso de detergente para ropa y aumentar la vida útil de su ropa.

¿Por qué mi agua sabe mal?

Si tiene agua municipal llegando a su casa en el The Rio Grande Valley zona, la causa principal es la presencia de cloraminas. Si bien las aguas municipales a nivel local cumplen con los estándares de agua potable segura, regularmente pueden tener mal sabor. Esto se puede resolver fácilmente con un sistema de agua potable de calidad instalado debajo del fregadero de la cocina o en la tubería principal de agua que entra a la casa.

GLOSARIO

CloraminasUna forma de desinfectante producido por la combinación de cloro y amoníaco. Se utilizan para controlar la formación de compuestos cancerígenos regulados, como los trihalometanos (THM) y los ácidos haloacéticos (HAA). Deben eliminarse del agua que se utilizará para peceras o estanques para peces, reptiles, tortugas y anfibios y también deben eliminarse del agua utilizada para la diálisis renal. Las cloraminas están presentes en el agua de los clientes de Hidalgo County, Cameron County, Starr County, and Willacy County y clientes de agua de las ciudades deBrownsville, Weslaco, McAllen, Mission, Corpus Christi, Laredo, Hidalgo City, South Padre Island, El Paso, Las Cruces, Edinburg, Harlingen, San Benito, Los Fresnos, Olmito, Rio Hondo, Lyford, Raymondville, Port Mansfield, Linn, Roma, Rio Grande City, San Isidro, Encino, Armstrong, Las Lomitas, Hebbronville, Bruni, Oilton, Realitos, Benavides, Rios, Premont, Falfurrias, Sarita, Riviera, Loyola Beach, Kingsville, and Bishop .

Agua duraAgua que contiene calcio y magnesio con una concentración mínima de un grano por galón medido como equivalente de carbonato de calcio.

Dureza*Una cualidad común del agua que contiene compuestos disueltos de calcio y magnesio. El término dureza se aplicó originalmente a las aguas difíciles de lavar, en referencia a las propiedades de desperdicio de jabón del agua dura. La dureza evita que el jabón forme espuma al provocar el desarrollo de un precipitado de cuajada insoluble en el agua; Las sales de calcio y magnesio disueltas son las principales responsables de la mayoría de las incrustaciones en tuberías y calentadores de agua y causan numerosos problemas en la lavandería, la cocina y el baño.

GRANOS POR GALÓN MG/L (PPM)

Suave = menos de 1,0 Menos de 17,1
Ligeramente duro = 1,0 a 3,5 17,1 a 60
Moderadamente Difícil = 3.5 a 7.0 60 a 120
Difícil=7,0 a 10,5 120 a 180
Muy Difícil =10.5 y más180 y más

Intercambio iónico*Un proceso reversible en el que los iones de un medio sólido permanente insoluble (el «intercambiador de iones», generalmente una resina) se intercambian por iones en una solución o mezcla fluida que rodea el medio insoluble. Tanto el intercambio catiónico como el aniónico se utilizan en el acondicionamiento del agua. El intercambio de cationes se usa comúnmente para ablandar el agua.

Ósmosis Inversa (OI)*Un proceso de tratamiento de agua que elimina los materiales indeseables del agua mediante el uso de presión para forzar las moléculas de agua a través de una membrana semipermeable. RO elimina sales ionizadas, coloides y moléculas orgánicas hasta un peso molecular de 100.

Suavizador de aguaUn dispositivo mecánico de tratamiento de agua que elimina el calcio y el magnesio de una fuente de agua, generalmente a través de un lecho de medios de intercambio catiónico, produciendo agua de mayor calidad que es más eficaz y eficiente para lavar, bañarse y lavar platos.
