Look around the
drains of the sinks and the tubs. If you see green patina stains in these
plumbing fixtures, then it is a safe assumption that the well water is acidic
and that the copper is being deteriorated. In extreme situations, round green
stains can be seen on the horizontal runs of the pipes. These are failures, and
will start leaking with a small spray of water. The solution is to test the
water and install a neutralizing system to raise the water's pH level. Note:
Brown-orange stains indicate excessive minerals in the water. Conditioning
equipment will be needed if this is the case. |
