It seems to be more and more common to hear about water contamination issues. From public facilities such as schools to entire community water systems, contamination with harmful metals, parasites and bacteria are all too common. While public water systems are supposed to be sanitized and filtered, do you know if the water coming into your home is safe? A private water filtration system is a good way to protect your family and provide cleaner, safer water for your home. 

Types of Water Filtration Systems

From water pitchers that remove some minimal particles to complete home water filtration systems, there are options for cleaning the water you use in your home. The type you decide to use will depend on the filtration you desire and how much you are willing to spend to further filter your water. Here are three options that can be installed in your home.

  • Refrigerator water filter. If you are only concerned with the drinking water of your home tasting fresh and staying healthy, a filtration system added to your refrigerator water supply is an affordable option.
  • Under the sink. For clean, safe water for drinking and cooking, an under-the-sink water filtration system is perfect for cleaning most contaminants from your consumable water.
  • Whole house filtration. Want better smelling and tasting water that is safe in all rooms of your home? Consider a whole house filtration system for the most complete water safety option.

To determine the best water filtration system for your family, call your local plumber that offers installation of quality water filtration systems. Your family deserves safe, healthy water that you can count on.

What Type of Water Treatment Do You Need in Your Home?

Comments Off on What Type of Water Treatment Do You Need in Your Home?

If you have a well system or have had problems with your water quality in the past, you may be wondering what type of water treatment is best for use in your home. While there are several different treatment and whole home filtration systems available, the type that is best for your home and family will depend on several factors. To narrow it down, here are the basic types and how they are used to improve water quality.

  • Reverse Osmosis. To remove water contaminants, a reverse osmosis system flows pressurized water through a membrane. This will remove many minerals, chemicals and organisms from the water. Often, these systems are often paired with a filtration system which removes even more impurities.
  • Ionization or softeners. For homes with hard water with heavy mineral content, a water softener or ionization system may be used. These replace minerals such as calcium or magnesium with ions.
  • Filtration systems. Water filtration systems can help remove organic contaminants from water, such as some metals, chlorine or chemicals. Most filtration systems are designed to work with water that has already been treated through either a city water system or home water treatment.

To decide what type of water treatment or filtration you need for your home, the first step is to have your water tested. Your local plumber can professionally test your water, and offer advice about what systems would be best to clean and protect the water in your home. Every home and region is different when it comes to water treatment needs, so having a professional opinion is advised to get the healthiest water for your family.

Get Rid Of the Foul Smell and Bad Taste in Your Water For Good

Comments Off on Get Rid Of the Foul Smell and Bad Taste in Your Water For Good

Nothing is worse than bringing a glass of water to your lips and smelling a bad odor coming from it. Water is supposed to be what we use to clean our bodies, inside and out, not contaminate it. When the water from your home has a bad smell or odor, it is time to consider getting a filtration system so you can have clean, healthy water again.

Many regions of the country have problems with contamination of their tap water from heavy metals, bacteria and other potentially harmful pollutants. Although the water may have been treated, it still can contain chemicals such as chlorine and other elements such as lead, mercury and copper. To make sure your water is safe to drink, cook with and wash in, getting a home water filtration system may be the answer.

Although there are many different types of water filtration systems, some are only for just the sink or refrigerator instead of the entire water supply in the home. To ensure all water is drinkable from all sources, a whole home water filter system is needed. Once again, there are many choices out there but the best way to ensure you get a certified system is to call a local reputable plumber to install the filtration system for you.

Having clean, healthy water is something that every home should have. If you have been buying bottled water and living with foul water odor, it is time to get a filtration system and feel good about the water in your home. In the long run, it will be a healthier and most likely less expensive choice for your family.
