All the water supplied to Richfield comes from private wells. Before water enters our homes, the water will flow through glacial deposits (sand, gravel, and clay). These natural formations have minerals that cause hard water. The water in Richfield is particularly high in calcium and magnesium due to the glacial sediments in our area. Richfield homeowners often notice scale/buildup on faucets or dishes. Water softeners for Richfield are designed to help this problem to replace calcium and magnesium with sodium. In turn you’ll have longer-lasting appliances and less build-up in your pipes…not to mention smoother skin and softer hair.

Iron
Although small amounts do not have a negative effect on your health, Iron is a contaminant that contains bacteria that feed off it. However, large amounts of iron can be hazardous to your health. Iron does not blend well with soap, leaving residue on your bathtub, appliances, and skin (causing clogged pores).
Metallic taste which carries into your food and beverages.

Nitrates
Nitrates are formed naturally in surface and groundwater. Nitrogen is essential for all living things, but when consuming higher levels through drinking water, it can be hazardous especially to infants, and pregnant women. Nitrates spread entering private wells and can come from a few different sources, such as, manure spreading, agricultural fertilizers, legume cropping systems, and septic systems.
Like arsenic, the only way to tell if you have nitrates in your water is to have it professionally tested.
