Fall is the season of colorful leaves, pumpkin spice and hearty harvests. It's also considered the favorite season for 41% of U.S adults, according to Morning Consult Data! But those falling leaves could significantly impact your water quality, whether you have a well or get your water from a local municipality. As leaves decompose, they emit and deposit nitrogen and phosphorus into the water supply. These extra minerals are great for algae and help it to grow much more rapidly. This algae then leaves bacteria in the water and reduces the oxygen levels. The challenge here then becomes filtering out the excess algae and bacteria. For those on city water, most municipalities may find that this is an incredibly costly and intense process, which in turn means more algae and bacteria may get through than would be ideal. For those on well water, ensure you are keeping the area around your well clear of large piles of leaves and staying up to date with your maintenance. Whether you are on city water or well water, the real answer to this problem is to ensure you are taking the steps to protect you and your family. You can have peace of mind by installing filtration systems designed to combat all the unwanted organisms that have the potential to live in your water! A whole-house water treatment system is the best way to ensure cleaner, safer water any time you turn on the tap. Read more about the 3 Ways a Whole-House Water Treatment System Helps You.
