Strange Stains Around Sinks and Tubs?

Blue-Green Stains in Your Water? Here’s How We Can Help

These colorful stains are more than cosmetic—they’re a sign your water is corroding your plumbing. Kinetico Quality Water of Polk County (43water) helps FL families stop damage at the source with expert solutions.

What Are Blue-Green Stains?

Blue-green stains on fixtures, sinks, and bathtubs are typically caused by high acidity or low pH levels in your water, which corrode copper plumbing and leave behind oxidized residue.

If the tap water in your residence leaves these unwanted colors in your sinks, showers, and tubs, it’s most likely due to corrosion. The acidic nature of the water can react with copper pipes, resulting in unsightly stains in various parts of your home, including the bathroom, kitchen, and laundry area.

At Kinetico Quality Water of Polk County (43water), our team of water treatment experts is equipped to address the issue by adjusting the pH level of your water to neutralize its acidity and reduce pipe corrosion. We offer comprehensive water testing to assess your water’s pH level and recommend a tailored solution that best suits your specific requirements.

For your home, one effective solution could be the installation of an injection system that introduces sodium hydroxide into the water supply to elevate the pH level. Alternatively, acid neutralizers may be suitable if the pH level is moderately low. Contact us today for a complimentary consultation. Since 1984, we have experience in water testing, water treatment system application and installation, and related services.

We’re here to help you make the right choice for your home.

Whether you're curious about how our systems work, what’s in your water, or what happens after installation—we’ve got answers to the most common questions our customers ask.

How do I know if I need a water treatment system?

If you notice odd tastes, odors, stains, or cloudy water—or just want peace of mind—it's worth testing your water. We offer free water testing to identify the best solution.

What types of contaminants can your systems remove?

Our systems are designed to reduce or eliminate chlorine, hardness, iron, bacteria, PFAS, nitrates, and more.

Do I need a whole-home system or just drinking water filtration?

That depends on your needs. We offer both whole-home solutions and point-of-use options like reverse osmosis.

Is installation included, and how long does it take?

Yes! Professional installation is included. Most systems can be installed in just a few hours.

What maintenance is required?

We design our systems to be low-maintenance, and we offer service plans so you don’t have to worry about upkeep.

What’s the difference between softening and filtration?

Softening removes minerals that cause hardness and scale (like calcium and magnesium), while filtration targets contaminants like chlorine, sediment, iron, and VOCs. Many homes use a combination of both. See our residential solutions.

Is my water safe to drink?

Municipal water is treated, but often still contains chlorine, byproducts, or trace contaminants like PFAS. Well water is unregulated and varies by region. Best way to be 100% sure you're drinking safe, clean water is to get a water test done and have proper filtration system in place.
