"We highly recommend this company! We couldn't be happier to have found such a capable company as Ecowater. They were not only prompt, thorough and clear on our initial water diagnosis but they helped to educate us as well. Aaron, in Sales, was extremely good. Part water geek part doctor he seemed genuinely interested in helping us end our water troubles, such as the orange gooey scourge that had been plaguing our system and preventing us from comfortably enjoying a shower or a simple drink. His diagnosis was spot on and we now have amazing water and being a rural property, this is important because finding competent service people let alone ones that want a long term relationship is difficult for most but as a rural home it is compounded in that most don't wish to go beyond the initial visit. Ecowater stressed that their commitment went beyond our install and offered automatic send services for our supplies which we find a smart service for our needs.

On install day, Dave and Ryan came. They were again prompt, thorough and clear on what they were going to do offering to answer any questions. They were methodical and courteous. We needed a large stainless steel holding tank filled with standing water emptied in our pump house, and though the pipe burst on Ryan showering him and the pump house with goodness knows what it was done. So that we could finally drink our water we had a reverse osmosis system installed and it by far is worth every dime because we now have the best drinking water and can stop buying bottled. The savings is huge. Our water to our fridge proved another challenge when it wouldn't work after it was connected. Dave troubleshot it as best he could but the brand was not one he was familiar with and I couldn't find the manual to assist so the decision was made to call/email in a couple of days to see if it cleared up it didn't. Now it should be noted that Ecowater chose to forgo installing the manufacturers filter parts for their own which in the end became the reason it didn't work but no worries, they fixed it! I emailed Aaron the manual downloaded from the manufacturers site and he and Dave combed it for answers even phoning French Canadian Customer Service on our behalf - now I ask what company does this? Ecowater could teach other companies about what great customer service and support looks like because they are and quot;itand quot;. A few days later, Aaron and Dave emailed us to come out with a solution to our problem. We scheduled a visit and poof! done the original equipment was installed and we now have perfect water at our fridge and ice too! Finally, Aaron gave us a free product to clean our water ring stains - it worked beautifully for sinks and shower areas. We can't thank Ecowater enough!! Great folks!

"The Vortex system is unmatched in its ability to clean filthy water. Our water has a lot of iron in it and it comes out brown we use Vortex filtration systems to make it clear usable water for our household. I knew Kristin‘s father who was a genius and invented this and she is continuing her fathers business in providing this excellent technology to help people like me with very difficult water."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

A small amount of diluted bleach is okay to pour down a garbage disposal. As part of your weekly garbage disposal maintenance, use 1 teaspoon of bleach with your concoction of ice cubes and lemon peels. Turn on the disposal and run the water until the blades chop up the ice cubes.

Any more bleach in your disposal can harden oils and greases in your drain, which can cause problems. Always wear gloves when working with bleach, and know that you really don’t need bleach at all—vinegar, baking soda, salt, and ice should do the trick.

Coke and other sodas do clean a clogged drain, so this is one of those urban myths that has some truth behind it. Coke and similar sodas are caustic and will provide some cleaning power to your drains. However, the power of soda pales in comparison to dedicated cleaners or even baking soda.

On average, a plumber will take 30 minutes to two hours to clear a clogged drain. If the clog is located close to the drain or an access point and isn’t severe, the project will take about half an hour. If the clog is deep within your plumbing system or is a severe blockage, it can take two or more hours to remove the clog. For this reason, main line clogs tend to take longer, usually between two and three hours.

There are a couple of things you can do to help prevent your French drain grate from clogging. First, keep yard debris clear so it doesn’t wash into the drain and clog the grate. You can also install a screen or filter over the grate to prevent large pieces of debris from entering the access point.

You can try several easy methods to unclog a drain, one of the easiest and most effective of which is to use a mixture of baking soda and vinegar. This will help dislodge and dissolve the clog to move it down the drain pipes. Pour 1/2 cup baking soda into the drain, followed by 1/2 cup of white vinegar. Dump several cups of boiling water (or hot water if you have PVC pipes) into the drain and let sit for up to one hour. Run hot water to clear the drain.
