We rely on your water every day for drinking, cooking, bathing and keeping your home clean. But even if your water looks clear, that doesn’t always mean it’s safe or healthy. Changes in taste, odour, or appearance can signal that it’s time to have your water tested and treated.
At Q-TEC Water Works, we specialize in helping homeowners and businesses get clean, great-tasting water they can trust. Whether you’re on a well or municipal supply.
Common Signs Your Water Needs Treatment
If you’ve noticed any of these issues, it’s worth taking a closer look at your water quality:
-
Strange taste or odour – A metallic, chlorine, or “rotten egg” smell can indicate unwanted minerals or contaminants.
-
Discoloration or staining – Orange or brown stains on sinks and fixtures often point to iron or manganese in your water.
-
Cloudy or hazy water – Sediment and hardness minerals can make your water look less than clear.
-
Dry skin or dull hair – Hard water can leave a residue that affects you just as much as your plumbing.
-
Limescale buildup – White deposits around faucets or on dishes are a sure sign of hard water.
Seasonal Changes Can Affect Water Quality
If you’re on a well, you might notice your water quality changes with the seasons.
-
Spring and fall rains can cause leaching, where surface water seeps into the groundwater and brings in minerals, bacteria, or organic matter.
-
Dry summer months can concentrate minerals in your water supply.
Testing your water regularly — especially after heavy rainfall or seasonal shifts — helps ensure your system is keeping up with these natural changes.
