Water Treatment Services
Welcome to IG Services, your trusted source for comprehensive water treatment services. We specialize in providing top-notch solutions for water softening, reverse osmosis systems, pH neutralization, and iron removal services.These services are designed to ensure that you have access to clean, safe, and high-quality water in your home or business.
At IG Services, we understand the importance of clean, soft water in your home. That's why we take pride in our softener installation services. Hard water, which contains high traces of calcium and magnesium ions, can cause limescale buildup and damage your home's internal heating and plumbing systems. It can also limit the effectiveness of soaps and cleaning products. Our water softener systems help to remove these harsh minerals, providing you with soft water that is better for your appliances, your skin, and your wallet.
Water softeners can help treat skin conditions, as hard water can exacerbate eczema and other dry skin conditions due to the excessive amount of soap and cleaning products needed to create an effective lather. Soft water also increases the ease of removing dirt throughout the house, and it’s great for rinsing as it doesn’t leave streaky residue.
Moreover, water softeners can improve the efficiency and life expectancy of water-using appliances and help you save money by reducing overall water usage. They can also help you save money by reducing the amount of cleaning products you need to use.
How Does a Water Softener Work?
- A water softener works through a process called ion exchange. As hard water enters the water softener, resin beads in the tank attract and hold onto hard water minerals, removing them from the water. The softened water then flows to the plumbing throughout your home.
- During the softening cycle, sodium on the resin beads is exchanged for hard water minerals in the water. After some time, the resin beads need to be rinsed free of the minerals and "recharged" so they can continue attracting and collecting hard water minerals. This is the water softener regeneration cycle, and it's why people add salt to water softeners.
Benefits of a Water Softener
Installing a water softener in your home can lead to numerous benefits:
- Improved Cleaning: Soft water increases the effectiveness of soaps and cleaning products, leading to cleaner dishes, clothes, and surfaces.
- Increased Appliance Efficiency: Soft water can improve the efficiency of your water heater and extend the life of water-using appliances.

Reverse Osmosis Purification Systems
At IG Services, we understand that maintaining your water softening system can be a hassle. That's why we offer an automatic salt delivery and Setup service to make your life easier.
What is Reverse Osmosis?
- RO is a multi-stage water treatment process that removes contaminants from unfiltered water. It works by applying pressure to force water through a semipermeable membrane, which filters out all contaminant types, including chlorine, salt, sediment, arsenic, and heavy metals. The result is pure, clean water that is healthier to drink.
Benefits of a Reverse Osmosis
- Highly Effective Filtration: RO is one of the most extensive methods of filtration, removing 98% of dissolved solids. It can filter out harmful contaminants, including fluoride, microplastics, herbicides, pesticides, and VOCs.
- Improved Taste and Odor: The process removes foul tastes and odors, resulting in water that is more enjoyable to drink.
- Environmentally Friendly: Using an RO system is more environmentally friendly than relying on bottled water.
- Easy Installation and Maintenance: RO systems are easy to install and maintain, typically fitting under the kitchen sink.
- Cost-Effective: Over time, using an RO system can drastically reduce your living costs compared to buying bottled water.
Installation and Maintenance
- Installing an RO system involves setting up the system under your sink and connecting it to your water supply. Regular maintenance is crucial to ensure the system continues to function optimally. This includes changing the RO filters every 6-12 months and replacing the RO membrane every two years. Periodically, you should also drain the RO storage tank to maintain its performance.
pH Neutralizing
At IG Services, we recognize the crucial role of maintaining a balanced pH level in your water supply. Acidic water, characterized by a pH below 7.0, can lead to a sour or metallic taste and cause corrosion in pipes and fixtures, resulting in significant damage over time. To address these concerns, we take pride in offering our expert pH Neutralizing services.
What is pH Neutralizing?
pH Neutralizing is a process that adjusts the acidity or alkalinity of water, aiming to achieve a neutral pH level of around 7. This is achieved using an acid neutralizer system, which uses natural minerals such as calcite (also known as calcium carbonate) and magnesium oxide to increase the pH of your water supply.
Why is pH Neutralizing Important?
Maintaining a balanced pH in your water supply is crucial for several reasons. Acidic water can increase the risk of lead contamination, corrode your pipes, and even affect the taste of your water. By neutralizing the pH, we can prevent these issues, ensuring you have safe, clean water in your home or business.
Our pH Neutralizing Process
Our process begins with a comprehensive water test to determine the pH level of your water supply. If the pH is too low, we install an acid neutralizer system at the main water supply. This system uses natural minerals to neutralize the acidity as the water passes through it.
The installation process is straightforward and takes approximately two hours. Once installed, the system requires minimal maintenance, usually a quick refill of the acid neutralizer tank with calcite once per year..
Benefits of Our pH Neutralizing Services
Our pH Neutralizing services offer numerous benefits. Firstly, it protects your plumbing from the corrosive effects of acidic water, preventing costly repairs in the future. Secondly, it improves the taste of your water, eliminating any sour or metallic flavors caused by low pH levels.
Moreover, our services ensure the safety of your water supply. By neutralizing the pH, we reduce the risk of lead contamination, providing you with safe, clean water for your home or business.

Sulfur Removal
At IG Services, we understand the importance of clean, odor-free water in your home or
business. That's why we're excited to introduce our water treatment services, focusing
on sulfur removal.
Sulfur in water, often recognized by a distinct rotten egg smell, is caused by hydrogen
sulfide gas and sulfide, which are commonly found in water supplies. While low concentrations of sulfur do not pose a serious health risk, they can make the water less palatable and cause unpleasant odors.
Our sulfur removal services utilize several methods to ensure the best results.
Oxidation and Filtration
One of the most effective methods for sulfur removal is a combination of oxidation and filtration. Oxidation changes the sulfur from a soluble to an insoluble state, making it easier to filter out. We use safe and effective oxidizing agents like hydrogen peroxide and chlorine.
Backwashing Filters
Backwashing filters are widely used for sulfur removal. These filters work by converting soluble sulfur into solid particles, which are then filtered out. The success of this method depends on the pH of the water, with a pH above 7 being necessary for effective sulfur removal.
Aeration Removal Method
Aeration is another common method used for sulfur removal. This process works on the principle of oxidation, reducing the levels of hydrogen sulfide and iron to produce odor-free water.
Hydrogen Peroxide System
Hydrogen peroxide systems are highly effective for sulfur eradication. This system completely removes manganese, iron, and sulfur in well water without adding any chemicals to the water supply.
Chemical-Free Sulfur Filtration Systems
We also offer chemical-free whole house sulfur filtration systems. These systems use oxygen and a special media to destroy the rotten egg smell in your water, making it virtually maintenance-free.
We are committed to providing you with the best water treatment
solutions at IG Sewer and Drain. Our team of experts will consider various factors, including the level of sulfur,
the amount of iron and manganese in the water, and other factors before selecting the
