Aresnic is a common water issue in Michigan, however it can be easily and affordably removed with an under-sink filter from American Aqua.
According to the CDC, “Arsenic can enter the water supply from natural deposits in the earth or from industrial and agricultural pollution. It is widely believed that naturally occurring arsenic dissolves out of certain rock formations when ground water levels drop significantly. Some industries in the United States release thousands of pounds of arsenic into the environment every year. Once released, arsenic remains in the environment for a long time. Arsenic is removed from the air by rain, snow, and gradual settling. Once on the ground or in surface water, arsenic can slowly enter ground water. High arsenic levels in private wells may come from certain arsenic containing fertilizers used in the past or industrial waste. It may also indicate improper well construction or overuse of chemical fertilizers or herbicides in the past.”
How do you know if you have arsenic?
A simple water test can inform you as to the presence and quantity of arsenic in your water. American Aqua offers water testing as well as professional analysis of what the test results mean so you know the best way to move forward with treatment.Our primary arsenic solution is the AdEdge AD4510S Arsenic Reduction Cartridge which is replacement filter for under the counter or POU (point-of-use) filters that require filtration right at the point where water is being used. The filter removes up to 99% of arsenic from water. With a nominal rating of 25 microns and a flow rate of 0.5 gpm, the filter cartridge is apt for any standard filter housing. It has a capacity of 3,000 gallons and the dimensions are 4 3/4″ x 9 3/4″ making it easy to fit-in any under sink spaces.

UPDATE - June 25 - After we posted the rating (below) we received a phone call the next day and we discussed the situation. They were great! They returned the money and any monies spent for the part that didn't fix the problem. In addition, they came and picked up the water softener I replaced.To me that is going over and above. I recommend them 100%. We all make mistakes, but I judge a company with what they do after that mistake as the true measure of a company.We moved into a house with a Whirlpool water softener. After a year it didn't work well so I called around to see who might be able to fix it. They said they did but it would take a week to get someone over. No problem. The technician arrived and said he had been in the business for over 30 years and could fix ANYTHING. When he looked at it he said it needed a new part and I could order it on-line for $40 or $50. I asked him to help me and he said they didn't order anything. I was left on my own to try and figure out what exact part. He said he wouldn't charge me because he didn't do anything. He said we might need a new water softener and it would be around $2,000. He claimed that he had many customers on our street and many of them had iron filters, too. He said there are other ones you can order on line but good luck finding someone to install them.I explained that I had been in the business for 19 years - I just didn't know anything about the Whirlpool brand. He explained that Eco Water (major manufacturer) built them and they were an Eco dealer, too. That convinced me he could fix it.Great! I ordered the correct part, I thought, for $139 and called them back to put it in. Again, several days wait. No problem I felt that he could fix it. He came out, put in the part, and crickets. Same issues as before. To this he said, "I have no idea what is wrong". Maybe a harness. He looked in the truck and he had a harness that would fit - still nothing. He suggested I order one of those for $25 or $30.Then he gave me the bill of $109. I now have $238 into this machine that still isn't working. I did exactly what he said to do. AGain, his comment, "I have no idea what to do". Same comment from a guy who said, "I can fix anything".I wasn't about to invest $2,000 more because I thought we'd be in the house only 3 more years. We have another home in Florida.I took my water to another company to get tested. 23 gpg with 1 ppm of iron. We NEVER installed an iron filter for 1 ppm iron. But, again, I only did the business for 19 years.I'll never do business with them again. I ordered the exact same model that I had for $550. I got the old one out myself and I'm sure I can reinstall the exact same model.Great lesson. I'll never call American Aqua again.

Ever since I moved here in 2004 I have been using American Aqua. When my water softener system was installed I was told to only use Duracube. Since 2004, when my water softener system was installed Duracube is the only salt that has been in my system. You can pull right up to American Aqua, they open the garage door you pulled in and they load your car you don’t even have to step out of your car. How awesome is that. They also offer delivery but I have kids to unload my car. They staff is always so nice. Adam that works there has been there since I started going and he is always so nice and responsible. I have moved twice since I have been here and I have taken my system with me and Adam has always done that work for me. Including my reverse osmosis. Great place. Very conveniently located.P.S. I go to the American Aqua in Howell.

This was the only water company to reply to my inquiries and am I glad they did. I'm stuck here at home and don't want to venture out so they delivered 8 bags of salt directly to my home. Very reasonable pricing on both the salt and the delivery. And...they were on time! Stacked it nicely on my porch and I'm a happy man. I will continue to do business with them and if my softeners go on the blink, they'll be the first ones I call. Thank you AA!!

They called a half hour in advance, and delivered two bags of salt to my basement. You DO need to write a check at the time of service, (unlike other companies, who send you a bill.) It's actually wise to use to different companies, so you don't run out of salt, in case you have to go into work, or on vacation

Great service and on-time deliveries. American Aqua's salt and outstanding water softener provides us with 100% rust free water in a rural area with really bad iron-saturated water. Far superior to any water softener systems we'd used previously.

They were extremely knowledgeable and professional about what they were doing. They were very respectful about leaving everything clean and the work fully completed. We have had the pleasure of working with this company for years and will continue to do so. Carol V.
