Hard Water Problems:
Water described as “hard” is high in dissolved minerals, specifically calcium
and magnesium. While these minerals are healthy, they can cause the
following problems:
- Mineral buildup on fixtures and dishes
- Inefficient operation of water-using appliances
- Freshly laundered clothes that look dingy and feel harsh and scratchy
- Higher energy costs and additional repairs on plumbing, and appliances
The ideal solution is not to remove these healthy minerals but to prevent them fromforming limescale buildup. Problem Menu / TOP
Chlorine Problems:
Chlorine is a highly efficient disinfectant, and it is added to public water supplies to kill disease-causing bacteria that the water or its transport pipes might contain.
However, this disinfecting has not come without a price. The risk of developing cancer is 93% higher in people who are exposed to chlorinated water.
"Although concentrations of these carcinogens are low...it is precisely these low levels which cancer scientists believe are responsible for the majority of human cancers in the United States." Report Issued By The Environmental Defense Fund
"Chlorine itself is not believed to be the problem. Scientists suspect that the actual cause of the bladder cancers is a group of chemicals that form as result of reactions between the chlorine and natural substances and pollutants in the water." (organic matter such as leaves and twigs.) St. Paul Dispatch & Pioneer Press, December 17, 1987
Common exposures to chlorinated water include drinking tap water. Even taking a long bath or shower increases a person's risk for chlorine exposure because chlorine can enter the body through skin absorption or through the eyes, nose, and ears. Problem Menu / TOP
Sulfur Odors & Taste:
Does your water smell and taste bad?
Common sources of bad taste and odors are sulfur, decaying organisms, bacteria and chlorine. Sulfur can be naturally occurring in many areas, and sometimes peaks during certain times of the year. Sulfur accounts for the rotten egg smell that water can acquire, along with a bitter taste. Chlorine smell comes from chlorination, the most universally used water purification method. Excessive amounts may be used and the lingering smell comes from a high concentration remaining in your pipes.
Another common source of odd smells and tastes in tap water is metals from the pipes used to carry your tap water. Copper, iron, and lead have all been found in tap water, and lend unique smells and tastes. Problem Menu / TOP
Rust Stains from Iron:
If your water is leaving you with rust stains, then you have iron in the water. Iron can leave your laundry with yellow, orange, or brown stains. When iron starts to corrode, it forms rust, a substance that often causes the unsightly brownish stains. Problem Menu / TOP
Chemicals:
When we turn on the faucet, we expect clear, cool, life sustaining water to flow. We can go without food for many days; but we cannot live for a week without water. However, run-off and acid rain as well as pollutants from many other sources flow into our streams, lakes, and aquifers.
Within the past century, the extensive use of chemicals in agriculture and big industry has polluted every source of water on the planet. Traces of toxic synthetic chemicals can even be found in polar icecaps and the Arctic Ocean. Despite our intelligence, we’re literally destroying our supply of the two most essential elements of life!
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, there are over 700 chemicals in our drinking water, and that includes “clean” sources such as wells and springs. Of all the dangerous chemicals found in drinking water, chlorine and fluoride are two of the most prominent. In fact, both of these chemicals are added intentionally! Problem Menu / TOP
Microorganisms:
Of the many infectious microorganisms found in the environment, bacteria and viruses may be found in water. These microorganisms can cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach cramps. In healthy adults, these illnesses are usually mild and do not last long. In infants, children, the elderly, and persons with weakened immune systems, these illnesses can be more severe. Problem Menu / TOP
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC's):
Volatile organic compounds have a variety of harmful health effects. At high levels of exposure, many VOCs can cause acute central nervous system depression (drowsiness, stupor). Virtually all VOCs cause skin and respiratory irritation. Long-term exposure to many VOCs is known to cause liver and kidney disorders, severe nervous system problems, and a wide range of cancers. Drinking water containing one or more VOCs at levels above standards should not be consumed. In addition, because little is known about the compound effects of exposure to multiple VOCs, attention should be given if two or more VOC chemicals are found in your drinking water. It goes without saying that all sources of VOC contamination should be eliminated or avoided if at all possible. Problem Menu / TOP
Trihalomethanes (THM's):
Chlorine is a powerful disinfectant commonly used in municipal water treatment plants to kill bacteria and other harmful microorganisms. Unfortunately, it can react with organic material in the water creating chloroform, trihalomethanes (THMs) and other "chlorination disinfection by-products" (CDPs), all of which have been strongly linked with incidence of cancer. Problem Menu / TOP
Arsenic:
Arsenic is a semi-metallic element with the chemical symbol "As." It is a member of the nitrogen family, occurs naturally in rocks and soils, and can contaminate water that comes in contact with these rocks and soils. Arsenic is odorless and tasteless. It can combine with other elements to form inorganic and organic arsenicals. In general, inorganic derivatives are regarded as more toxic than the organic forms. While food can contain both inorganic and organic arsenicals, primarily inorganic forms are present in water. Problem Menu / TOP
Radon:
Radon is a naturally occurring, colorless, odorless, water-soluble gas produced by the radioactive decay of radium. Radium is a radioactive metallic chemical element found in pitchblende and other uranium minerals. It is common in the earth’s crust. Radon breaks down in a natural, spontaneous process or "decays" to form other elements. All rocks contain some trace uranium concentrations. The highest concentrations are in plutonic rocks, such as granite. Because the source of radon is the radioactive decay of uranium, higher radon amounts are commonly detected in areas underlain by granites, dark shales, light-colored volcanic rocks, sedimentary rocks containing phosphate, and metamorphic rocks. High levels of radon have been found in all 50 states. Problem Menu / TOP
Iron, Iron Bacteria & Manganese:
There are different varieties of iron and manganese that can be present in your household water supply. Each of these types must be considered separately, as treatment will be different for each. It should be noted that manganese is also common in residential water supplies and is usually found in conjunction with iron. It is found in the same forms as iron, and generally treated using the same methods.
Soluble or Dissolved Iron and Manganese (Ferrous)
This is the most common type of iron (and manganese) found in domestic water sources. It is also called "clear water iron" because coming out of the tap, the water will look clear and clean (not discolored as it will with insoluble iron or manganese). If you leave the glass of water for 20 minutes to an hour however, you will notice a colored precipitate which will eventually settle on the bottom. This is the iron and/or manganese turning back into its insoluble form after coming into contact with oxygen in the air.
Insoluble Iron and Manganese (Ferric)
Ferric iron is simply iron that has already oxidized (rusted) - it can fe readily seen sue to the discoloration of the water or due the presence of tiny granuales of "rust" in the water. Although not as common as it's soluble counterpart, insoluble iron can cause serious problems to those who are afflicted with it.
** Soluble and insoluble iron can often both be found together in a given water sample.
Iron/Manganese Bacteria
As previously mentioned, iron or manganese bacteria are commonly present in water supplies with large concentrations of iron, manganese or sometimes calcium present. These bacteria feed on iron or manganese in the water (and in iron pipes, etc) and produce reddish brown, yellowish or black-brown (with manganese) slime that accumulates in toilet tanks and in water pipes and appliances. The offensive sludge can also create hydrogen sulfide, a compound that gives water an unpleasant "rotten eggs" odor that must be dealt with. Problem Menu / TOP
Bacteria & Fungi:
There are a wide variety of bacteria that can be found in drinking water, most of which pose no health hazard. Unfortunately, certain bacterium including certain strains of E.coli can cause terrible illness. Water quality reports often talk about fecal coliform contamination as a measure of bacteriological safety. While fecal coliform bacteria are for the most part harmless, their presence in drinking water is a warning sign that the water supply has been compromised and that other harmful bacteria like E.coli or other contaminants such as nitrites or pesticides may be present. Bacteria most often enters drinking water through sewage contamination or run-off from agricultural operations. Problem Menu / TOP
Heavy Metals:
"Heavy Metals" in the water treatment field refers to heavy, dense, metallic elements that occur only at trace levels in water, but are very toxic and tend to accumulate in the body over long periods of time. Most heavy metals are too rarely found in water to justify government regulation at all, but a few have been given Maximum Contaminant Limits (MCLS) and MCL Goals by the Environmental Protection Agency. These include:
Pesticides:
Two factors have influenced the increasing incidence of pesticide contamination being detected in our water supplies has resulted from two factors. First, is the increasing use of organic pesticides over the past 50 years. Between 1950 and 1980 production of synthetic organic pesticides more than tripled in the United States to over 1.4 billion pounds. To date, more than twenty types of pesticides have been detected in U.S. wells, and it is believed that nearly one hundred have the potential to invade our water systems based on their chemical characteristics. Areas with shallow water tables, sandy soils, and where agriculture is intensive are more prone to contamination. Some level of pesticide contamination has been detected in every state and province on the continent. Secondly, laboratory tests have become much more effective at detecting low levels of contamination. Problem Menu / TOP
FAQ's
EcOzone System FAQ's
Who uses ozone?
Ozone domestic water purification has been used extensively in Europe since 1906. In the United States, currently hundreds of municipal water treatment plants use ozone. Los Angeles has one of the largest ozone treatment facility, purifying over 600 million gallons of water per day. Las Vegas is currently constructing the largest municipal ozone treatment plant to date. California state law now requires ozonation as the final step before bottled drinking water is packaged. The International Bottled Water Association also requires ozonation prior to bottling. Problem Menu / TOP
Isn't ozone bad for the environment?
Ozone in the earth's upper atmosphere is what protects us from the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun. If we could pump more ozone up there, we'd all be better off. However, when created by and mixed with smog and carbon monoxide, ozone is a contributing factor to the greenhouse effect. In contrast, our system creates "clean ozone" which dissipates and reverts back to oxygen readily and naturally. Problem Menu / TOP
How long does ozone last in my water?
Ozone has a half life on the order of minutes when dissolved in water. Half life is the time it takes for half of the ozone to revert back to oxygen. Therefore, ozone must be generated on site and constantly introduced into the water to be effective. Problem Menu / TOP
People have been using chlorine for years, why do I need ozone?
In recent years, scientists have discovered that chlorine creates harmful by-products known as THMs that are carcinogenic. The EPA is starting to impose strict standards on the level of THMs allowed in domestic water treatment plants. Ozone is the treatment method of choice by water treatment professionals to replace chlorine, since ozone produces no THMs. Problem Menu / TOP
Do the larger municipal water treatment plants that use ozone also use chlorine?
Yes, they do add a small chlorine residual after ozonation. This is done to prevent the possibility of the water picking up bacteria in the lengthy distribution piping required in larger municipal water supplies, since the dissolved ozone will revert to oxygen before distribution. Problem Menu / TOP
If the system runs 24 hours a day, won't it be expensive to operate?
One of the system's outstanding features is its efficiency. The entire system consumes about the same electricity as a 55 watt light bulb. This means a typical operating cost of about $3 per month. Problem Menu / TOP
How do I know it will solve my water problems?
We offer a unique, no cost, in person demonstration using your own water. This will show you the quality of water you can expect from your faucet. Problem Menu / TOP
Will I need a water softener with the EcOzone system?
Usually no. The system alters the molecular bonds of the water so that it acts soft. You will experience good soap suds and great cleaning. However, the water will not be chemically soft. Some hard water deposit may still be experienced, but this is easily solved with the addition of the ionization option. The Hydrocare system has the ability to eliminate existing limescale while preventing future deposits to bond to your faucets, appliances and water pipes. Problem Menu / TOP
Hydrocare System FAQ's
How often do the Hydrocare medias in the canisters need to be changed?
Processing performance will be determined by the amount of water being processed and the level of iron and other water issues that can affect the media surfaces. On the average the processing medias should be changed between 6-9 months. The pressure gauges will indicate the pressure flow of water coming into the system and then measure it as it leaves the processing canisters. A differential of 8 to 10 PSI between the pressure gauges will indicate that the medias need to be changed. Problem Menu / TOP
Why select a whole house system?
The system eliminates limescale and provides water purity throughout the entire house including all the pipes, appliances, fixtures and water faucets. It removes chlorine that can be harmful even when showering and bathing. Where issues with iron, odors, taste and stains are evident, the system removes these conditions. Problem Menu / TOP
How does this system compare to other filtration units?
The system features a proprietary blend of catalytic and process medias including: electrochemical, electronic, catalytic, oxidation/reduction, and adsorption. They are designed specifically to enhance their performance through increased electron contaminate exchange and molecular transfer, which forces a plating of many contaminates to the media surface These medias are proven to remove the majority of impurities in the water supply. Common filter systems cannot provide these collective and treatment processes. Problem Menu / TOP
What is unique about a parallel flow?
By directing the water flow into both processing canisters at once there is no drop in water pressure and a much higher flow of water on demand. Other systems with filters in sequence will only flow as much as the slowest filter permits. The physics of the parallel flow process doubles the surface area and contact time; essential for maximum catalytic reactivity and purification efficiency. Problem Menu / TOP
Why is this system better than a reverse osmosis system?
Unlike a reverse osmosis system this will not remove the essential minerals that are essential for health and taste appeal. This system will not lose pressure nor require any additional storage tanks and adjustments. Problem Menu / TOP
What medias are used in the processing canisters?
The medias are the most advanced in the market and are designed to solve the majority of water quality issues. They utilize different technologies to target specific impurities and to improve on their performance in a system as opposed to operating separately. Problem Menu / TOP
Testimonials
Thank you for making the dual action water system so easy to install. I had my friend who is a plumber install it in less than half an hour. I love having filtered water come out of all the faucets in my home. I used to go all the way downstairs to the fridge to get a drink of water at night, not anymore. No more chlorine showers! I really feel I did a great thing for my family when I purchased your system. I will be telling all my friends.
I am generally a skeptic. My husband insisted that we put in a HydroCare water system. We live on Long Island and we put in a filter under the sink as soon as we moved in, because the water tasted horrible. I thought that our filters under the sink were enough. He was concerned about the chlorine and other problems he read up on. The plumber put in the system and I was waiting to see if it was all that it was hyped out to be. My husband gave me 3 glasses of water to taste. The first one was putrid to say the least, which was our water without any filtration. The next two glasses were hard to detect any real difference. The one I did prefer was from the new HydroCare system. The other was from a Poland Spring bottle. I was amazed. The water from the system was as clean and fresh tasting as any bottled water. We had our kids’ families over and they did the same test. They use bottled water and were skeptical but were really amazed at how good the water tasted. I still find it strange that I can get a good tasting glass of water from anywhere in the house.
Coming from New England well water where a water softener system is a must, I have never seen public water as hard as Cincinnati. All of our faucets and shower heads lost pressure due to the scale and our water heater was not working properly. Water had to be filtered to drink because the strong smell of chlorine and sulphur made it unpleasant. We installed the HydroCare Dual Action Water System along with our new shower and water heater, and the results have been amazing. Even though the heater is new, we no longer run out of hot water which leads me to believe the effect the scale had on our previous unit was significant. We can now drink water straight from the tap with no smell or taste from the high mineral content. Also, I no longer see the white film on the stove top that was left behind from boiling water. I highly recommend the product not only for the change in the quality of the drinking water, but I expect it to pay for itself many times over by extending the life of appliances, plumbing and pots and pans. I hope more people give your product a look. I am very happy I made the right decision.
Hi Patrick,
We installed our HydroCare on Friday. Only a few hours later, I asked my husband if he had turned up the temperature on our Rinnai tankless water heater. He hadn't and he really thought that I was maybe imagining the change until he confirmed the fact on Saturday evening that it was indeed hotter...a lot hotter...to the point that it might be a good idea to turn it down some.
I wanted to see what the unit would do when I ran the dishwasher I ran a load of dishes in the dishwasher and it was amazing...the dishes felt completely different (clean, without any residue...what a difference!) and the upper dishwasher shelf, which was not moving in and out smoothly and made noises as it went, was 100% better. The excess limescale and residue buildup in the machine is gone ,and it is like I have a brand new dishwasher!
We are amazed at how fast the HydroCare started to work and make an impact on our whole plumbing system. We are very pleased so far and would completely recommend it to any of our friends and family.
Thanks...we are really enjoying our HydroCare.
We live in the north part of Wichita on the river and use well water. We were unable to use our dishwasher because we have such hard water. The HydroCare provided a solution to our problem. Now the dishes come out clean – no more white powdery film. We chose the HydroCare over traditional water softeners because it doesn’t require salt to operate. We’re very happy with the service, with Handyman and with the product.
We live 30 miles outside a small town in rural northwest Arizona where the water is extremely hard. We get our water from a well surrounded by granite and limestone.
Before we got the HydroCare Wave Hard Water Solution, we had white residue on everything that contained water. Our dishware and cooking utensils would come out of the dishwater covered with hard water residue. Our toilets, made of smooth ceramic, became rough and had to be brushed down after every use. Our shower heads had to be taken off and soaked in CLR or vinegar at least every month because the water flow became severely restricted. Even the filters in the main water faucets had to be soaked every month.
Then we purchased the HydroCare unit.
We noticed a difference within 2 weeks, Now 3 months later, the water coming from our faucets no longer has strings of minerals in it. The ceramic toilet bowls are once again smooth and shiny. The dishes come out of the dishwasher sparkling clean with no residue.
I unconditionally endorse the HydroCare system.
Dear Dave,
Just a quick note to let you know how happy we are with our HydroCare unit, and for helping us become so forgetful! Yes, I said forgetful. We use to have that big old clunky Water Softener in the laundry room, which took up a lot of area. Storing the Salt was always a challenge as well. The regular maintenance and having to buy and add the salt was always at the bottom of my list for chores to do! On top of that, the water softener made the house water “feel” funny, and I don’t think it always lived up to it’s reputation to prevent lime scale from forming on the shower walls and doors – we always had some lime scale residue from it.
Now, with our new HydroCare unit we never have to worry about the Water Softener. Once the unit was up and running we’ve completely forgotten about it. We’ve forgotten that we had to have maintenance on the Softener, we’ve forgotten that we had to buy salt, and forgotten how to even add salt to the softener. We’ve forgotten about how much area in the laundry room the old softener took up! We’ve forgotten how the water “felt”. And best of all, we’ve forgotten what it is like to have to use special caustic products to get the residual lime deposits off the shower walls and doors.
Thanks Dave, for helping us become so forgetful and simplifying our lives! We really appreciate it!
Dear Warren,
Just a short note to say thank you.
My wife and I purchased a new dishwasher and within a short period of time the stainless portion of the internal cabinet was totally covered with white lime scale.
After washing our first load of dishes, my wife and I were amazed as to how clean the dishwasher cabinet had become. In fact, it looked brand new again.
We also take extreme comfort in the realization that your HydroCare unit is also keeping the heat exchanger of our Rinnai tankless water heater from scale build up as well.
You have a great product! Thanks again.
Bill,
Thank you so much for allowing me to provide my input on the HydroCare unit. Prior to agreeing to sell the HydroCare unit, I was cautious. We have been raised believing that water softeners were the only way to beat hard water deposits. So with great skepticism, I installed a HydroCare unit on to the water system in my own home.
I felt that if it did not perform for my family, there would be no way I could sell the product to my clients. After installing the unit, my wife noticed a huge difference in how her hair care products were performing for the better. I allowed the system to work for approximately 30 days and felt it was time to put it to the ultimate test.
We own a dark blue Chevrolet Suburban. It was a circus when washing it at home because of the water spots forming before I could dry it off. With the HydroCare unit working, I washed the Suburban and stepped back without a towel in my hand – no circus act. After it air dried, I was shocked to find very few water spots if any.
As a Florida State Master Plumbing Contractor and owner of American Plumbing Solutions (APS), I have sold many HydroCare units and have received rave reviews from all of our clients. One of our clients is a plastic surgeon. He and his wife hold parties many times throughout the year and they were tired of having spots on their wine glasses. The great part is that they didn’t have a water softener installed to begin with and it gave us another test subject. They started to see a huge difference as soon as the unit was installed. Their assistant washes the cars and also noticed that there was no need to dry them as frantically as before.
I am proud to back this product out of personal experience at my own home and the many homes and businesses of my clients.
My name is Art Sharkey and I have been in the water business for over 29 years. Amongst other duties I'm the water quality officer for the largest privately owned water system in the state of Oregon. For years I have dealt with customer inquirers on how to clean stains off of bathroom fixtures shower doors etc. I found some products that work but must are acid or other caustic material and require lots of elbow grease. I was looking for something that would prevent the build up of green scale caused mainly by calcium and magnesium. I found HydroCare online and it sounded interesting and also had a great guarantee. Not wanting to sell it to customer, I bought a few units and installed one of them in my own house. I took the time to flush my water heater before installation and also removed and photographed the top element of the water heater tank. Three weeks after installation of the HydroCare unit I removed the top element of the water heater and large pieces of the green scale had already dropped of the element. The other benefits have been a shower door that not longer collects that white hard to remove hard water stain, easy to clean toilet bowls just using a brush, and squeaky clean dishes and glass wear from the dishwasher without any jet dry! I now sell HydroCare to our water company customers because the product works.
I bought the HydroCare for limescale around 5 months ago and I am just amazed how well it started working when we attached it to our water heater. It has saved us on our electric bills, plus our appliances work so much better and are a lot easier to clean. We are so very much satisfied with the performance and would recommend this product to friends, neighbors or associates who are having hard water problems. This is the easies and best product I have found. We are so happy. Thanks from another satisfied customer.

Chemical-Free Well & City Water Conditioning
Hydrocare Water Conditioning for Elimination of Limescale
NO SALTS, NO CHEMICALS & SAVES ON WATER
The frustration, cost and poor performance
related to limescale are gone:
- Spots on dishes and glasses
- Early replacement and frequent repairs on water appliances
- Mineral buildup on your faucets, showerheads and bathtub
- Poorly washed clothes
These problems and more, come from the minerals in hard water that build up as limescale inside appliances and pipes, reducing their effectiveness and lifespan, and slapping homeowners with an energy loss up to awhopping 30%. The energy loss and wear on appliances in an average home can exceed $1200 a year. Ugly limescale is an aesthetic issue as well and will clog the plumbing system pipes and reduce pressure.
Hydrocare Systems eliminates and prevents limescale buildup in hard water. It is the only technology that can generate a consistently strong frequency signal in the water, to suspend the minerals that cause scale buildup and prevent them from adhering to the surfaces in pipes, appliance heating elements and fixtures. It will reduce corrosion and maintain the entire water system and appliances in a pristine state.
Hydrocare Advanced Whole House Water Purification Process
Have the comfort of knowing that the following is continuously being removed from your water:
• Chlorine • Iron • Sulfides • Manganese • Metals • Odors
• Stains • Microorganisms • Volatile Organic Compounds
• Trihalomethanes (THM's) • Pesticides • Lead
• Arsenic • Fungi • Radon and more
MULTI MEDIAS - Replaces reverse osmosis! System features a proprietary blend of several purification processing medias including electrochemical, catalytic, filtration and adsorption. They are designed specifically to function symbiotically in one media processing canister that enhances their performance.
DUAL MEDIA PROCESSING CANISTERS- Each canister is
an identical duplicate with the same multi media combinations and is engineered to ensure water dispersion and flow.
PARALLEL FLOW - The water flow is diverted into two parallel flows which effectively divides the flow rate in half to each filter. This doubles the surface area and contact time for the water to travel through the media canisters and increase catalytic reactivity and purification efficiency.
NO LOSS OF WATER PRESSURE - By diverting the water pressure into half and then recombining them after the media processing, there is no drop in water pressure and there is a constant flow of water on demand. Gauges will detect a drop in pressure and the need for replacement of media processing canisters.
Our water is threatened by an ever increasing variety and virility of hazardous substances, as evidenced by the thousands of water alerts announced annually. Additionally, minerals in hard water cause limescale buildup, which wreaks havoc on plumbing, appliances and fixtures. We cannot depend on our community's water treatment facility to deliver safe and clean water. Chlorine, a primary agent used to purify the water, has been identified as a cancer causing agent, which enters our bodies through drinking, inhalation and absorption through our skin, when showering.
From which options should we choose to safely purify the water in our homes? Ideally, we would select one total solution for this multitude of problems. To protect our family's health, it is important to lower the levels of, not only chlorine, but additionally, iron, heavy metals, chemicals and much more. Foul odors, discoloration and limescale, affecting all your plumbing and appliances, are costly, unsightly and problematic. They need to be removed from the water supply in your entire home.
It is important to evaluate effectiveness, environmental impact, ease of operation, maintenance, as well as purchase price. Bottled water brings concerns about expense, lack of whole house solution and environmental impact. A whole house system is more convenient than point-of-use water filters, where every tap and shower requires different filters. Conventional water conditioning systems, for limescale treatment, use salts or chemicals that are environmentally detrimental and unhealthy. Other types of filtration units may involve additional costs, loss of water pressure and frequent replacement; which can discourage the upkeep of equipment and cause loss of performance.
Bucci's Pure Water has developed a System, which incorporates advanced technologies, combining limescale elimination and purification for a total, whole house solution. Our state-of-the-art products will make the decision process, for the health of your family and home, an easy one. You will have the peace of mind knowing you have safe, refreshing water - the way it should be. Problem Menu / TOP
Large Enough To Serve, Small
Enough To Care Since 1983
Well Water Treatment System
1) Ozone Injection / Oxidation:
Ozone is a tri-atomic oxygen (O3) which has very high oxidizing power. It is a gas produced from air and high voltage electricity. The injection of the ozone into the water. Tiny ozone bubbles saturate every drop of water. At this point oxidation of iron, sulfur and manganese is immediate.
2) Aeration:
The elimination (off gassing or venting) of the ozone and other gasses/odors such as sulfur. This occurs by an ozone stripping action. As water flows down the Off Gas Tank, ozonated water rises and strips any gas in the incoming water. We have designed exclusive Self-Cleaning and Maintenance Free vent devices.
3) Filtration:
The next step is for the removal of the oxidized material by filtration. Our proprietary natural physical filter media requiries only water for backwash. No chemicals or oxidizing media is necessary. It yields a high flow and requires a low backwash rate.
4) Ionization:
(Optional) Elimination and prevention of limescale buildup in hard water. It is the only technology that can generate a consistently strong frequency signal in the water, to suspend the minerals that cause scale buildup and prevent them from adhering to the surfaces in pipes, appliance heating elements and fixtures. It will reduce corrosion and maintain the entire water system and appliances in a pristine state.
5) Advanced Drinking Water Purification: (Optional - Better than reverse osmosis) Whole House System features a proprietary blend of several purification processing medias including electrochemical, catalytic, filtration and adsorption for the removal of radon, pesticides, VOC's, THM's, arsenic, cadmium, antimony, barium, mercury, thallium. (These may or may not be in your water)
The EcOzone Process Works In Five Easy Steps
How Does The EcOzone Water System Work?
Iron / Iron Bacteria: Soluble ferrous iron, which is not filterable, is oxidized (the process ofadding oxygen) to insoluble ferric iron thus making it easily filtered. Bacterial iron can be killed through oxidation and by denying its food source (ferris iron).
Sulfur/Sulfur Bacteria:
Odorous hydrogen sulfide, which is not filterable, is quickly converted to elemental sulfur, which can be easily filtered. A portion of the sulfur is de-volatized and off gassed in step #2. Again, the bacterial form is killed and filtered.
Manganese:
Manganese is oxidized and filtered in the same manner as iron.
Bacteria:
Ozone oxidizes the organic material in bacterial membranes, which weakens the cell wall and leads to cellular rupture. This exposes the organism to the external environment, which causes almost immediate death of the cell. It's similar to a knife deeply cutting skin. (Bacteria systems are sized differently than iron, sulfur and manganese systems)

Ozonator, ozone injection,venting, filteration / filter cleaning are automatic.

The guarantee is that our water treatment system will do exactly what we say it will do or we will do whatever it takes to make so that it does. The water purification industry is loaded with people who give no guarantee at all. If a company cannot GUARANTEE that their water treatment system will work... run the other way! They probably don't know what they are doing, or they are trying to get a lot of service work out of you. You can have safe, pure drinking water that rivals bottled water coming out of every faucet in your house with little to no maintenance.
Many builders are recognizing the demand for pure water and a quality water treatment system and they call us. We love to install our EcoOzone Water treatment systems in houses during the construction phase. This is the perfect time to call us, we can consult with the plumber on how to run lines through your house so you can have ultra pure drinking water at many locations throughout the house. You will have high purity drinking water at your refrigerator, ice-maker, pot-filler, wet-bar and any other place your heart desires. Telling your builder to call Bucci's EcOzone Water will save you lots of money and many headaches down the road. You will never even think about water problems, unless your neighbors used some other water treatment system and they complain to you, but that's the only time.
Water, thou hast no taste, no color, no odor; canst not be defined, art relished while ever mysterious. Not necessary to life, but rather life itself, thou fillest us with a gratification that exceeds the delight of the senses.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Wind, Sand, and Stars, 1939
