Whole-Home Water Filtration Solutions
A home-wide water filtration system functions by passing your water through a series of purification stages. These systems also operate outside of the home’s plumbing system, ensuring that all the water in your home is clean, including the water you drink, cook with, and bathe in. Whole-house systems can be potential bottlenecks for water flow, which is why it’s very important to have an experienced plumber estimate the flow rate your household requires. If the flow rate isn’t high enough, you’ll experience low water pressure and other issues.
Most water purifiers for the home will have one or more mechanical filtration stages to trap particulate matter. There’s often a prefilter, which is necessary for well systems. Prefilters are also helpful for municipal water, as they help preserve the primary filter. Many systems have a sediment filter as the primary, which removes dirt, silt, and similar particles. It’s common for systems to include activated carbon as well. This manufactured form of carbon improves the smell and taste of water and adsorbs gases and chemicals. Some water purifiers also have an ultraviolet (UV) light. A UV lamp neutralizes bacteria, viruses, and more.
A water purifier can remove many potential substances from your drinking water:
- Pharmaceuticals
- Rust and heavy metals
- Chlorine and chloramine
- Pesticides and herbicides
- Cysts and other parasites
Point-of-Entry Water Softener System
Many residential and commercial properties in Keller have hard water. Water with high levels of calcium and magnesium is generally safe to drink. The problem is that it can cause limescale to form in pipes, fixtures, and appliances. The Department of Energy estimates that limescale accumulation costs the average household $800 annually in additional maintenance. If you have moderately hard water, you can add an anti-scale device to your water heater and other appliances. Anti-scale devices change the water chemically so that scale can’t form. It’s an effective approach as a local solution but if you want home-wide protection for your skin and hair, a water softener system is better.
A water softener system is a point-of-entry (POE) system like the water filter discussed earlier. The main difference is that it conditions the water by exchanging calcium and magnesium for salt. Most systems use sodium chloride because it’s effective and relatively inexpensive. However, if a household has concerns about salt intake, it can opt for potassium chloride instead.
Reverse Osmosis Systems in Keller
Reverse osmosis (RO) uses high pressure to force water through a semipermeable membrane. It reverses the natural process of osmosis, moving water from a concentrated solution to a less concentrated one. RO removes over 99% of particles in the water, effectively performing the work of a water filter. An RO system also acts as a water softener, making it a great option for homes that need both filtration and softening.
One concern with RO is that it removes beneficial minerals, too. Manufacturers address this issue through remineralization stages. Another concern is that an RO system can use more water than it provides. However, there are WaterSense-certified RO systems that are very efficient in that regard. The RO process takes longer than traditional filtration, which is why the industry tends to evaluate RO systems in gallons per day (GPD) rather than flow rate. The average U.S. household needs a point-of-entry (POE) RO system that provides between 50 and 75 GPD.
