Let’s Talk Tankless

If you’re familiar with tankless technology, then you probably already know some of the unique benefits they offer. But for some of our other customers, or newcomers who have never even heard of a tankless water heater, this blog is for you!

So, as your local professional team of plumbers, let’s talk about tankless systems. We’ll cover all the basics and make sure that you know what you’re getting into if you decide to install this system.

What Is in Unfiltered Water?

April 10th, 2023

Water is one of the most abundant substances on the planet. But when we talk about water, we’re usually talking about clean, fresh water that we can easily use to bathe or drink. This, ironically enough, is not the most common way that water is found. If you’ll remember from your earth sciences class years ago, the most abundant form of water on the planet is salt water. All of the other types of water that are found usually have substances dissolved in them that can be harmful or detrimental to people.

Most water sources are treated for basic contaminants, but we think it’s important for homeowners to uncover what those contaminants might be. And for a few of our customers who are using well water and purchasing their own reverse osmosis systems in Rainier, WA for purification, this blog post can enlighten them as to what is being filtered out.

So, what is in your water before it gets treated? Let’s take a look!

Well, no. We’re not even going to try to entertain the idea that a regular homeowner could set up a well pump without some serious ramifications. We appreciate the enthusiasm, but we’d like to avoid some disaster scenarios, including you accidentally hurting yourself in the process.

The equipment required to perform this task can be heavy-duty and might end up causing problems if they’re not operated by a professional.

If Your Water Heater Could Talk…

March 13th, 2023

It would probably ask for repairs! That’s at least what we would tell a homeowner who might be experiencing problems right now. Water heaters can last a decade or more, depending on the type of water heating system we’re talking about. But in most cases, they’ll need to be fixed once or twice throughout their lifespan. This is usually the case with most home appliances.

However, pinpointing when your water heater needs repair is the tricky part of the equation. Is your water heater fine? Is it encountering a malfunction and requires water heater repair in Puyallup, WA? Or perhaps it’s on its way out? These are vital questions that need answers, especially when your budget is on the line.

Your water heater can’t tell you the answer to those questions, but if it could, here’s what it would probably say depending on the certain problem you’re experiencing.
