Professional water filtration installation provides the latest equipment to eliminate these pollutants and their risks.

What Is Whole-Home Water Filtration?

A point-of-use filter attaches below a sink or other fixture. However, a water filtration system for your house is installed where the main water line meets your plumbing system. From here, it filters all the water that enters your home. You’ll have clean water from every faucet or fixture. Whether you drink, brush your teeth, clean, shower, do laundry, or cook, your water supply will be contaminant-free.

Water filtration devices come in many forms. The most common types include:

• Mechanical: Mechanical filters remove dirt, particles, and sediment using mesh filters; ceramic filters capture fine particles and some microorganisms.
• Absorption: An absorption filter uses carbon to absorb contaminants like chlorine and others that cause unwanted tastes and odors.
• Sequestration: A sequestration filter acts by chemically isolating substances, such as calcium, magnesium, and other hard water minerals, to prevent them from scaling on surfaces. 
• Reverse Osmosis (RO): An RO filter removes the ions of dissolved organic solids by forcing water under pressure through a semipermeable membrane.
• Ion Exchange: In an ion exchange filter, magnesium and calcium ions are exchanged with sodium or hydrogen ions, allowing the physical removal of hard water minerals.

Water Filtration Benefits

A whole home water filtration system is a great investment for many reasons. Here are just a few of the benefits:

• Safer Drinking Water: Particulates, heavy metals, and over 2,000 toxic chemicals can be found in tap water. Advanced filtration systems remove up to 99.9% of chemicals, reducing safety concerns.
• Fewer Plumbing Issues: Compounds found in water can corrode pipes, cause limescale, and eventually cause pipes to clog, leak, or break. Water filtration also protects appliances like water heaters.
• Relief From Sensitive Skin: People who are sensitive to certain materials or have skin conditions are most at risk of reactions to chemicals. Pure water takes the aggravation out of a shower or bath.
• Reduced Risk of Health Complications: With stronger filtration, you’re less at risk of developing gastrointestinal infections, kidney stones, stomach ulcers, or acid reflux.
• Cooking is Easier: Tap water can have a bad taste that adversely affects the flavor of foods and sauces. Minerals can stick to pasta and change its texture, but a filtration system can yield tastier and healthier food.
• Cleaning is Easier: Eliminating the many impurities in tap water can make it easier to clean dishes, sinks, showers, drains, and clothes. Soap scum and mineral buildup will be less of a problem.
• Environmental Preservation: A water filtration system avoids relying on bottled water. Therefore, you won’t constantly throw out plastic bottles or wonder if they’re being recycled.
