Born and raised as a Texas family, for years we drank untreated well-water. It smelled foul, left behind stains and residue on almost everything – even our skin! – and affected our health and quality of life. Eventually, we moved into the city, and more importantly into a home that had a good water-treatment system. We had not realized how much the quality of water could truly change a family's comfort of living until we experienced it ourselves.
