Musty, earthy, or fishy taste or smell
This is typically caused by algae, molds, and bacteria that thrive in water and can multiply within a home’s plumbing system.

Rotten Egg Smell
Hydrogen sulfide can cause a foul, rotten egg odor in your water, making it taste and smell unpleasant, and in some cases, even making it unusable.

Chlorine Taste or Smell
The taste and smell of chlorine can be unpleasant and may also dry out your skin and hair. While municipalities use chlorine to disinfect the water supply, it should be filtered out before use to avoid these undesirable effects.

Cloudy water
Raw water entering your home can contain various impurities that cause turbidity, resulting in cloudy water.

Hard Water
Hard water can dry out your skin and make your hair brittle. It creates soap scum in tubs and showers, leaving spots on faucets and fixtures. Additionally, it causes scaling in appliances, reducing their efficiency and leading to expensive repairs.

Iron and manganese can leave rust stains on clothing, appliances, and fixtures. These metals can also affect the taste and smell of your water, making it unpleasant.
