1. Why we need home water filtration systems

Whole-house water filtration systems are very valuable! This is because they provide many benefits to you and your family. For instance, they provide healthy water throughout your entire home.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, many individuals use a home water treatment to remove contaminants and take extra precautions because a household member has a compromised immune system.

Most homeowners want to improve the quality of water in their homes, especially when it comes to their drinking water.

When you are living in a municipality, you may want to consider a home water filtration system as cities tend to have many contaminants in their water supply.

A home water filtration system will help reduce the hardness of your water and make it better for your family.

Home water filtration systems come in all different shapes and sizes depending on the kind you need for your home. This means that prices vary for each kind of filtration system.

Usually, if you are looking for home water filtration systems, they range from $300 to $1000 or more!

2. Types of home water filtration systems

REVERSE OSMOSIS (R/O)

A reverse osmosis system is one of the best types of water purifiers you can buy. Reverse osmosis systems purify water by forcing pressurized water through a very fine, plastic membrane.

A reverse osmosis system can improve the taste of water for people who do not like the taste of dissolved mineral solids in their water. Click here to find out more about how R/O works.

WaterSmart Systems sells, installs, and services Duro Reverse Osmosis Systems.

 

Water Softener

A water softener is a whole house filtration system that helps remove hardness from your water.

Hard water forms when your water supply contains minerals like calcium and magnesium, making it very hard.

When your water softener removes the hard minerals from your water, it’s better for all your pipes and appliances.

This scale buildup can be really hard on your plumbing system and appliances like your coffee maker and dishwasher, causing you to replace them sooner than expected.

 

FRIDGE, Faucet, or Pitcher FILTERS

If your fridge is hooked up to your home's plumbing system it has a constant supply of water to dispense.

Water flows through activated carbon that is located inside your fridge filter. The carbon in your filter attract contaminantss that are present in your water much like a magnet attracts metal.

These contaminants will stick to the carbon which successful removes them from your drinking water.

The resulting filtered water is now available through your fridge's water dispenser.

Or, get a filter that will fit your current tap.

Connect your filter to your tap according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Turn on your tap and the water will pass through the filter and remove the contaminants that it is designed to remove.

You can also get a pitcher filter.

The other option is choose a small or large-sized pitcher that is equipped with a filter - a Brita filter, for example.

Fill the pitcher with tap water and place it in your fridge so that it is ready to use when you need it.

What Our customers Are Saying…

What a great experience!! I did a search on the internet, called regarding the price of a water softener and the next day it was installed and we had soft water again. Paul removed the old softener, installed and setup the new one and was out in just over an hour. He also noted that the grounding of water pipe was not done by previous installer and he corrected that as well. Cost was the same as softener that was installed 14 years ago - I am impressed.
