Water Filtration Systems

Quick Definition

Home water treatment technology that removes contaminants to provide clean, safe drinking water

Water filtration systems use various technologies to remove contaminants from your drinking water, providing clean, safe water throughout your home. Different systems target specific contaminants based on your water quality needs.

What You Need to Know

Common filtration technologies include activated carbon (removes chlorine and organic compounds), reverse osmosis (removes dissolved solids and chemicals), and UV sterilization (kills bacteria and viruses). The right system depends on your specific water quality issues.

Why It Matters for Your Home

Municipal water treatment doesn't remove all contaminants, and aging infrastructure can introduce new pollutants. A properly selected filtration system provides an additional barrier of protection for your family's health.

How to Choose a System

Start with professional water testing to identify specific contaminants. Point-of-use systems treat water at individual taps, while whole-house systems treat all water entering your home. Match the technology to your specific contamination issues.

When to Get Professional Help

Water treatment professionals can design systems based on your test results, usage patterns, and budget. Regular maintenance and filter replacement are essential for continued effectiveness.
