Selecting a Home Water Filter
To determine what kind of filtration system you want in your home, consider your budget, water quality, and installation space. For example, many homeowners choose to install a reverse osmosis drinking water system for their kitchen sink. While it doesn’t address all the water running through your home’s plumbing, this equipment gives you clean water for drinking, cooking, and washing from a single faucet. A reverse osmosis system forces water through a semi-permeable membrane, removing sediment, minerals, and other contaminants. This purified water stays in a storage tank until you need it. You can also install a whole-house reverse osmosis system to cover every appliance and tap.
Our professionals can install a multi-stage filtration system near the main water inlet in your residence. This system includes many filters: pre-filters that collect large sediment, carbon filters that remove chemicals and improve taste, and polishing filters that eliminate anything remaining after the water passes through the previous filters. A multi-stage filtration system actively removes contaminants, improves water taste and smell, protects appliances, and ensures cleaner, safer water for your entire home.
There are many kinds of contaminants that can negatively impact your water supply:
- Sediment
- Rust
- Debris
- High concentrations of minerals
- Chemicals
- Pathogens
You need to replace your filters regularly to make sure you get the best water quality in your home. Most filters last about 6 to 12 months, depending on their type and how often you use water. We will consider your budget as we help you select a filtration system. We will also discuss the necessary maintenance steps that you will need to follow to get the maximum efficiency out of your system.
