A whole house filter system is generally comprised of at least one filter housing, mounting bracket, at least one filter cartridge, and a spanner wrench. For all tasks other than just basic sediment removal, we generally recommend that a whole house water filtration system be comprised of two housings in series. The first usually serves as a sediment filter to rid the water of large particles and sediment (sand, dirt, debris, etc.). The second (usually an activated carbon filter) provides finer filtration and absorbs chlorine and other contaminants that effect water taste and odor. Additional elements can be added to the system to reduce/remove special contaminants such as iron, manganese and hydrogen sulfide ( iron / Hydrogen sulfide reduction filter ) or bacteria ( Whole House Ultraviolet (UV) System ).
Slide 3:
A whole house filter connects to the main water line entering your house so that all of the water dispensers in your house – faucets, toilets, showers, baths, kitchen, laundry – dispense treated water. Typically the whole house water filter is connected to the main water line before it splits into the hot water heater. Customers wishing to purify the water to their garden and sprinkler systems may find this to be a bit more challenging as the main water line coming off the city system often splits off into a “house” water line and a “yard” water line in the house’s foundation slab or at the street level before the house.
Slide 4:
The types of contaminants typically found in a private well water supply are sediment, iron and hardness minerals, but can vary from nuisance contaminants to toxic or damaging. If you have a private well, please send us a copy of your most recent water analysis or get your well water tested so we can make a recommendation based upon the contaminants that are actually in your well water. Upon request most municipal water utilities will provide you with a water analysis.
Slide 5:
L ess waste going to landfills. That’s right, there are no plastic bottles, or jugs, to fill up the landfill. Even though this water is the equivalent of high quality bottled water, there is one thing that a whole house filter doesn’t have. Plastic water bottles. The main filter is certified to provide 300,000 gallons of crystal clear water. That’s 2,400,000-16 ounce bottles of water, and no plastic bottles in the landfill!
