FAQ.

Because Clean Stream Water prioritizes in offering competitively priced products, we do not offer financing options at this time. Instead, we will work with you to find the best options that fit your needs.

Though every install is different depending on type of system(s), space accessibility, and distance, a general installation can usually be completed in 3-4 hours.

No-salt conditioners claim to inhibit scale buildup but they actually don’t reduce the mineral content in the water since they lack drain expulsion. The water will still feel hard causing skin and hair dryness and it will still prevent cleaning solutions from forming up a lather. Salt-free conditioners will also continue to leave white water spots in glassware and dishwashers.

Reverse Osmosis uses a combination of filters and a semi-permeable membrane to remove contaminants out of the water down to sub-micron levels. A distiller uses the natural water cycle of boiling water and condensing steam. While distillation may produce purer water, both systems will give pure and safe results.

Water softeners use salt to remove calcium and magnesium ions in the exchange process, this salt makes water feel a bit silkier which is healthy for your skin and hair, think of the dead sea beauty products but to a lesser degree of salt. While some people who are more sensitive to realize the slippery feeling at first, it becomes unnoticeable once getting used to.

Rapid filter clogging can be due to fluctuations of sediment in the water, this can be season related. A new pump install, or using too fine of a filter, may also cause frequent clogging. We recommend testing with different filters with a higher “less dense” micron grade to see if your results improve. Other times we may recommend installing an additional in-line filter.

Yes. Installing a neutralizer adds hardness to the water so we suggest that you always combine the system with a water softener to address the hardness increase.

Water demand, space occupancy, and cost are the reasons why a Reverse Osmosis system is not recommended as a whole house water treatment option. With RO systems, pure water is produced at a slow rate and thus requires a holding tank. Small holding tanks hold just enough for drinking and cooking purposes.
