When you think about the changing seasons in Tennessee, you probably picture blooming flowers, poolside days, or maybe even your yearly battle with seasonal allergies. However, there’s one seasonal shift that often gets overlooked: the quality of water in your home.

Yes, your water feels the heat, too.

At Family Water, we know that weather changes affect your water, and Spring and Summer bring a unique set of challenges (and opportunities) for keeping your home’s water clean, clear, and chemical-free.

Spring Showers Bring…Runoff?

Let’s start with Spring.

Those April showers may help your lawn bounce back, but they also contribute to increased surface runoff. That’s a fancy way of saying all that rainwater picks up pesticides, fertilizers, and contaminants before it finds its way into local water sources.

Municipal water plants work hard to keep things safe, but all that extra runoff means more chlorine and disinfectant byproducts often get added to your tap water. That’s why many of our Middle Tennessee customers tell us their skin feels drier, their hair gets frizzier, and their water starts to taste a bit too much like pool water this time of year.

Summer: The Season of Sediment and Stress

Then comes Summer. Longer, hotter days drive up water demand, which can put pressure on municipal systems. Higher temperatures also speed up the growth of algae in reservoirs and rivers. That makes the water harder to treat and can leave it with an odd smell or taste.

On top of that, sediment levels can spike as lakes and rivers shrink and concentrate. That means your water can become grittier, cloudier, and heavier with minerals, especially if your home uses well water or a rural supply.

The result?

Appliances get scale buildup faster, soap doesn’t lather as well, and your morning coffee might taste a little off.

What Can You Do?

Here’s the good news. You don’t have to fight your water with bottled water and extra elbow grease. A whole-home water treatment system from Family Water can:

• Filter out seasonal contaminants like chlorine, VOCs, and sediment
  
• Protect your skin and hair from chemical exposure during showering.
  
• Extend the life of your water heater, dishwasher, and washing machine.
  
• Improve taste and smell no matter the weather.
  
  

And since we’re a local, third-generation, family-run business, we understand how Tennessee’s seasons affect your water because we experience them too.
