Finding the Right Water Filtration System for Your Home


Water is the most precious natural resource on the planet. We use it to keep clean, to stay alive, and to move items and debris from one location to another. Living in Orange County and Los Angeles, we deal with hard water in our homes and businesses. Hard water can impact plumbing, pipes, drinking water, and washing our clothing. That’s why most homeowners use water filtration systems to make sure that they have access to soft, clean water at all times.

There are many different kinds of water filtration systems. Choosing the right one all depends on where you get your water. Many water supply systems are filled with bacteria and hard mineral deposits such as magnesium and calcium. Learn how to protect your home from contaminated water with the right kind of water filter systems.

Water Softeners

Water that’s filled with mineral deposits including excess calcium and magnesium is known as hard water. Mineral deposits will take a toll on your plumbing system and the appliances in your home. Hard water also makes soap and other cleaning products less effective and can actually make your home dirtier. Water softeners remove hard minerals from your water supply and replace them with traces of sodium. Smart water softeners come with a range of additional features including bacteriostatic filters and regeneration controls.

Carbon Water Filters

Carbon water filtration systems were designed to remove all kinds of pollutants and bacteria from your home’s water supply. Puronics is one of the leading manufacturers of in-home water filtration systems. Their filters are highly efficient and can be used with almost any kind of water supply system.

Reverse osmosis filters use water pressure to push the incoming water through a semi-permeable membrane that separates the bacteria from the water supply. Compact and easy to install, most carbon water filters fit underneath your kitchen sink to give you direct access to clean, great tasting water.

If you’re not sure what kind of water filtration system you need, you can test your water supply with the help of a water professional. They will answer all of your questions about the quality of your water and what you can do to improve it. Don’t overlook one of the most important elements of your home.
