Whole House Water Filtration System For Safe Drinking Water
Water treatment plants remove the most harmful water pollutants from city water. However, these plants add chemicals such as fluoride and chlorine to the water. If you have well water, your water may also be high in minerals that can affect its taste.
Worse, as water flows through soil and pipes, it picks up pesticides, volatile organic compounds, food processing waste, and pollutants from livestock operations. Over time, drinking water with these contaminants can result in several waterborne diseases, including respiratory infections, gastroenteritis, diarrhea, hepatitis, and encephalitis.
A whole house filtration system can remove most of the 2,100 known contaminants that can be found in drinking water from your well or water treatment plants, preventing these debilitating health conditions.
Let our team install a quality, cost-effective whole house water filtration system in your home to ensure that your family has safe, clean, and healthy water.

Types of Filtration Systems
The whole house filtration systems available for residential and commercial use fall into three general system categories:
- Activated Carbon: These filters remove heavy metals, chemicals, and parasites. Activated charcoal has a large surface area, allowing for maximum contaminant exposure to the active sites within the filter media.
- Reverse Osmosis: Reverse Osmosis systems force water through a semi-permeable membrane and consist of either five, six, or seven filtration stages. Reverse osmosis systems are the most effective for residential use.
- Cation Exchange: Cation exchange systems, or water softeners, attract negatively charged ions with positively charged ions, removing minerals such as magnesium and calcium.
