Clean refreshing filtered water from every faucet
What is a whole house water filter System?
When it comes to filtering water, there are basically 2 types of systems:
-
Whole house, also known as point-of-entry
-
Point-of-Use, which is only at specific locations within the house(at the faucet,etc)
A whole house water filter system is installed at the point where water enters the house. All water used within or associated with the house is filtered, whether it is used for washing dishes, drinking, bathing, or any other purpose.
By comparison, point-of-entry (POE) filters are installed near the location where the water is used. A reverse osmosis filter installed under a sink and feeding only a special faucet for drinking water is an example of a POE system.
Will the filter affect my water pressure?
No. All systems are designed to capture impurites without restricting flow.
Among the impurities that can be removed by a whole house water
filter system are:
-
Hardness
-
Chlorine
-
Chloramines
-
Ammonia and city water disinfectants
-
Sediment
-
Iron
-
Bacteria
-
Nitrate
-
Arnsenic
-
Various taste or odor contaminants
-
Minerals
-
Viruses
What's the difference between a water filter and and a water softener?
Filtering water involves separating “suspended” particles, like manganese, iron, hydrogen sulfide or other organic matter from the source water. By passing water through a “filter/media pack,” these small particles are trapped–and cleaner “filtered” water flows through.
Softening water involves a process called “ion exchange” to remove dissolved minerals like, calcium and magnesium. That is all, water softeners do not filter or remove contaminates such as iron or chlorine.
How much time to install?
Installation takes approximately 2 hours (depending on plumbing configurations)
