Water Purification

Water purification systems help protect your family from contaminants that can cause illness or allergies. The largest and most comprehensive type is a whole house filter. This will attach where your main water line enters your home and ensures that every faucet and appliance is using filtered water. One or more filter cartridges in the system remove chemicals, viruses, and small particulates from the water as it passes through. The amount of these substances present in your water will determine how frequently the filter needs to be replaced.

Smaller reverse osmosis systems can also be installed such as under sink models. These systems function somewhat similar to systems using a filter. In this case water pressure forces the molecules through a semi-permeable membrane. Unlike the filter system however, the membrane seldom needs replacing because some of the untreated water is used to send the removed substances down the drain. Systems are generally priced by flow rate so it is crucial to select an appropriate size for your household.
