Schedule an in-home consultation if you’re uncertain about your home’s water quality. Our plumber will assess your water, explore treatment options if applicable, and answer any questions you have. Using a water purifier improves water quality in the home.
There are two main approaches to purifying water: point of use (POU) and point of entry (POE). Under-sink and coffee maker water purifiers are examples of POU systems. POU systems cost less but provide clean water from only one tap. In contrast, POE systems filter water before it enters the home, ensuring that all appliances and fixtures provide cleaner water.
A typical home water purifier consists of several stages that clean the water. The prefilter, crucial for well systems, traps the largest particles and preserves the more valuable filter media. The sediment filter provides the primary mechanical filtration by capturing dirt, silt, heavy metals, and other particles. Most systems also include activated carbon, which absorbs chemicals and gases, improving the water’s taste and smell.
A whole-home water treatment system can improve your water in many ways:
Reduce acidity
Neutralize pathogens
Lower water hardness
Trap particulate matter
Absorb chemicals and gases
Homeowners can opt for additional stages based on their needs. For instance, they might choose a germicidal light to comprehensively neutralize bacteria and parasites. There are also conditioning stages to adjust pH or water hardness.
If your water is hard, you might consider a dedicated water softener. These systems remove calcium and magnesium from your water by exchanging them with salt. Some multi-tank solutions even allow continuous operation without needing to go offline to recharge.
