ORCHARD 132 MHP & WATER SYSTEM <br />12/09/2021 <br />WATER QUALITY INFORMATION <br />Some things to consider that effect your water quality: <br />Smell <br />Check to see if all sinks are connected with a proper water trap, usually <br />called a P-trap. <br />Without them you could experience odor coming from septic. <br />With them it is a good idea to flush with a septic safe drain <br />cleaner or citrus, orange, lime or limon juice. <br />Filter: <br />If your unit has a water filter make sure filter is changed on a regular <br />basis. (See manufactures specifications for filter cartridge change <br />frequency) <br />Hose Bib Vacuum Breakers: <br />Algae grows inside many garden hoses, if your hose bib is not protected <br />with a vacuum breaker, water could back flow into your unit causing a <br />distinct odor. Hose Bib Vacuum Breakers are available at most hardware <br />stores with an estimated cost of under $14.00. <br />The Orchard 132 well is tested monthly for bacteria with recent tests for odor and taste. No <br />adverse effects have been found or experienced in the water coming from the well site.
