Sue Lenox loves her water
I have known Jody since we first purchased our home on Yonges Island in the mid 90’s. My husband was recommended to call him after we had problems with our salty shallow well. We already had a deep “artesian” well, but the water tasted terrible. Jody came out with his drill rig and found fresh water at a deeper depth (a deeper shallow well) and then trenched the necessary lines to get us usable water in a timely manner.
He also installed a water conditioning system to remove the iron staining problem that accompanied the new shallow well. He serviced that system for many years annually.
During the late 90’s and into the year 2000, our iron levels escalated to the point where even the conditioner wasnt able to get rid of all of the stains (I am a perfectionist with my bathroom fixtures). Jody came out and tested the water and explained that we would probably never be happy with the shallow well staining issues, but that a deep “Santee Limestone” well/reverse osmosis treatment system would certainly make the water taste good and not stain fixtures. He explained in detail about casing depth and pump depth in a manner that both my husband and I could understand.
After much discussion over size, price and maintenance, we purchased the RO system for our home and have never been happier. Jody calls us every three months and comes out and changes the prefilter.
We still use the shallow well that he originally installed, but only for irrigation supply. I know lots of folks in our community who struggle with poor quality water. Even city water tastes terrible when you have gotten used to such pure water.
One of my concerns when we installed the RO was that the water would be so pure that it would damage the copper pipes in our home. Jody had a solution! He installed a calcium injector that adds inexpensive minerals to the purified water. We have never had any issues with our pipes in the many years we have used the RO.
Jody also installed our irrigation system. It has been installed for over 13 years with no problems. When he installed the system, he went to a lot of trouble to avoid the roots on our large oak trees. I know that I can depend on him when I call on him.
I am constantly amazed at his knowledge and his hometown common sense. I highly recommend Jody to anyone who asks about their water…even Municipal water customers could benefit from his ideas.
