Homeowners can choose between either a point-of-use (POU) or point-of-entry (POE) water filtration system. POU systems, such as countertop canister filters, are certainly less expensive initially. That said, they’re very limited in how much clean water they can deliver. A POE system, on the other hand, can provide all the clean water your family needs. POE water filters are also better in the long term because they can last upward of 20 years.
A whole-house water filter does have the potential to be a bottleneck. That’s why it’s very important to have a professional installer size your system. The installer will need to determine your peak usage in gallons per minute (GPM). Considerations include the number of people and bathrooms in the home. You’ll also need to account for appliances, such as water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines.
Our team can help you configure your water filter to deal with your particular health concerns. Most systems have a sediment filter to trap dirt, silt, heavy metals, and so forth. It’s typical to have activated carbon to absorb odors, tastes, chemicals, and gases. You can also add an ultraviolet lamp to eliminate pathogens from the water.
Water filters typically require service once or twice a year. You need regular filter changes, which will usually be every six months or annually. You’ll also need a once-a-year deep clean. That appointment will include a multipoint inspection. Our plumbers can correct any normal wear and tear to avoid repairs. We’ll also clean out any microbial growth to avoid contamination of the water supply.
Whole-house water filtration can remove many contaminants from your water:
Parasites
Sediment
Pesticides
Pharmaceuticals
Bacteria and viruses
