Don’t Let Water Quality Disrupt Your Tampa Home
The Pure Joy of Clean Water
You’ve seen pitchers that filter water that comes from the kitchen sink and even attachments that fit on individual taps and trap impurities as the water streams through. But did you know you can filter every drop of water your family uses, whether for cooking, cleaning, showering, or drinking? If not, it’s time you learned about whole-house water filters. Unlike point-of-use filters that target specific taps or appliances, whole-house filters treat water as it comes onto your property from the municipal supplier. Here’s how they work:
- Filtration Mechanism: As water comes in, it passes over a media such as activated carbon, filters, and catalysts that trap sediment, chlorine, pesticides, heavy metals, and other contaminants.
- Pre-filtering: Sediment filters are often the first line of defense. They remove larger particles like sand, silt, and rust that no one wants in their water and that can clog the system’s downstream purification components.
- Activated carbon: Activated carbon’s porous molecular structure makes it highly effective at removing chlorine, volatile organic compounds, and unpleasant tastes and odors.
- Additional media: Filters may include other media that target specific impurities: kinetic degradation fluxion for lead, mercury, and other metals, and catalytic carbon for chlorine and ammonia (chloramines).
- Ion exchange: Filters incorporate resins that soften water by
Water filters usually do not alleviate water hardness by exchanging calcium and magnesium ions for sodium ions like water softeners do. Soft water extends the lives of appliances that use water such as water heaters, washing machines, dish washers, and coffee machines and boosts the cleaning power of soaps and shampoos. Filters remove contaminates that detract from water’s taste, smell, and wholesomeness.
Water Filter Installation: The Unfiltered Truth
At Tampa’s locally owned and operated Benjamin Franklin Plumbing it’s our mission to ensure our neighbors’ water is always clean and healthy That’s why we offer expert services in installing and maintaining all makes, models, and types of whole-house water filtration systems. Our team of licensed and insured plumbers possesses the knowledge, experience, and commitment to provide the perfect filtration solution for your unique needs.
With so many water filtration systems available, choosing the right one can be overwhelming. Here’s a breakdown of some popular options to help you navigate the process:
- Carbon filtration: A popular choice for urban environments, carbon filtration systems utilize activated carbon filters to absorb chlorine, chloramines, and specific organic contaminants like trihalomethanes. These filters require regular replacement to maintain optimal performance.
- Reverse Osmosis: This advanced system forces water through a semi-permeable membrane, effectively removing a wide range of contaminants, including minerals, solids, and even lead. The CDC recognizes RO as an effective method for lead removal.
- Distillation: Water distillers boil water and then condense the purified steam, eliminating heavy metals like arsenic, cadmium, and chromium. The boiling process also kills bacteria and pathogens. Distillers can even purify water from alternative sources like streams or lakes in an emergency.
- Ultraviolet disinfection: Ultraviolet light effectively eliminates bacteria, viruses, and mold from your drinking water. UV technology offers a chemical-free disinfection method with a faster treatment rate compared to some other systems.
- Microbiological filters: These expandable systems target unwanted impurities and harmful microbes, including bacteria that can cause illness. They boast eco-friendly operation and no wastewater produced.
