High Copper Levels in Water? Click Here
In case anyone is getting questions about copper in water I have prepared a little information for everyone.
High copper levels in water are primarily due to corrosion of copper pipes, fittings and brass fixtures on your homes plumbing system which leaches into water over time. Copper is essential for health that works with iron to create red blood cells. Excessive copper for short periods can cause gastrointestinal issues.
What you can do if you are concerned about copper in your water, Make sure your electric service is not grounded to the pipes in your home, Before using water for cooking or drinking run the tap for a minute to flush out water that has been sitting in the pipes. If you have Wilsons Disease or are vulnerable to health issues consult your doctor.
What we are doing to help, first we are offering copper test free of charge, second we have increased our PH to help offset the corrosiveness in your pipes.
