Water Filtration

Treating All The Water In Your Home

Whole house water filtration systems treat all of the water in your home by connecting to your main water line. Thus your faucets, toilets, showers, baths, kitchen, laundry provide purified water. Usually, the whole house water filtration system connects to your main line before getting to the hot water heater. If a homeowner would like to purify the water for their yard or garden the situation gets a little complicated. The yard water line and house water line are many times separated. The yard line may be in the slab or in the ground. The city or the house blueprint will help determine how yours is done.

The type of filter or system needed for a home depends on whether you have a city water supply or a well. The contaminants for them are usually different. The water from a city supply normally contains chemicals, sediment, and hardness minerals. A well or other private supply will normally have sediment, iron, and hardness minerals. There are other toxins in some water supplies like residue from prescription drugs, microorganisms, and synthetic chemicals. The various types of filters available are drinking water filters, shower filters, and whole house water filters.

The Flow Rate

The main thing to consider when buying a system is the flow rate. Systems are made to handle the larger amount of water flowing in through the main line. The faster the flow rate the less purification. Systems are designed for maximum flow rates. To get the best results from a system for your home, compare flow rates of different systems and buy one that matches the highest flow rate for your home.
