There are a few different types of water filtration systems that you can use in your home. You can utilize a water filter to provide clean drinking water while leaving the rest of your water alone. However, you can also use a whole-house filtration system to address all of the water that is circulating through your plumbing system.
There are also different types of filters available.
Pre-filter
Sediment filter
Activated carbon filter
UV light technology
Acid neutralizers
Water will flow through from your main water line into your residence. If you’re using a whole-house filtration system, its installation will occur at this point in your plumbing. A pre-filter will remove some of the bigger particulates in your water. This protects the other filters from clogging so they can work more efficiently. This also prolongs their life span.
There will be other filters as well, including activated carbon, which greatly improves the taste of your water and removes chemicals. If you have UV technology as part of your filtration system, this will kill any pathogens, bacteria, or viruses that are present in your water. Exposing these microbes to UV-C light damages their DNA and prevents them from making you and your family sick.
Keep in mind that these filters will need replacement approximately every six months to a year. Some of the filters require more frequent replacement, such as the pre-filter. This is especially true if you experience a lot of contaminants in your water. Most systems will alert you when it is time for maintenance by engaging a light or sound.
