How Whole House Water Filtration Works

How Whole House Water Filtration Works

Whole house water filtration systems remove numerous contaminants from your tap water such as lead and chlorine. These contaminants may lead to sickness and dry skin. Our filtration systems provide purified water for your home or business without using chlorine.      

How Filtration Works

Our whole house water filtration system works by using catalytic carbon, which causes a chemical reaction that turns chloramines into harmless chloride. This process is able to remove odors and bad water taste by breaking down hydrogen sulfides. You might notice that purified water not only tastes superior, but is also able to reduce water spots. 

To filter your water, we will install the filtration tank of your choice next to the furnace or air conditioning unit. The filtration tanks pull water from your main line before it can enter your home. Contaminated water flows downward through the catalytic carbon, filtering it. The water then moves upward through the center of the tank and returns to your property’s water line, providing clean water for the entire building.

Our Filtration Systems

Before we install your filtration system, we will test your water with our free testing kits. The kits allow us to assess the quality of your water by identifying over 250 potential contaminants, including pesticides such as Roundup. This service is available for both residential and commercial properties. 

We offer both whole house water filters and combination house water filters that are paired with water softeners for city water. Combination filters soften water with water softener resin. Softener resin is small, spherical resin beads packed inside the filtration tank. These beads hold a negative electric charge that attracts any positively charged ions such as magnesium, removing the compounds from your water. 

Benefits of Whole House Water Filtration

Some contaminants, such as polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), do not have a scent or flavor. These particles are known to accumulate in body tissue and may lead to higher health risks. A comprehensive filtration system addresses this issue by removing harmful contaminants from your tap water. Other ways that filtration systems benefit your property include:

Reducing Hard Water

Hard water is characterized by the amount of dissolved calcium and magnesium present. A common cause for hard water is the natural accumulation of various minerals within water pipes. It is safe to drink hard water, but it may affect your body in other ways such as dry skin and hair. 

Reducing Limescale

Filtration systems soften water by removing various minerals and contaminants, improving your water quality. This will improve the health of your home by preventing the accumulation of limescale buildup. Limescale is a chalky substance that accumulates in and around faucets and shower heads. The buildup may lessen your property’s water pressure.
