Whole House Water Filtration Systems
WHOLE HOUSE WATER FILTRATION SOLUTIONS
Whole house water filtration systems come in various types and sizes to address the potential water quality issues experienced in well water and town water in Scituate. Matching the right technology and sizing the system to meet the water usage demands of your home are key after analyzing water test results. Additionally, a professionally plumbed system is critical as well as maintenance of the system throughout the years to optimize the useful life and proper functioning of your new equipment as it processes thousands of gallons of water every month.
While certain minerals & contaminants can be tested on-site, health threat items like Trihalomethanes, radon in water, arsenic in water, nitrates and others should be properly sampled and brought to a certified laboratory for testing that requires specialized equipment.
WATER SOFTENERS – HARD WATER, IRON & MANGANESE
Water Softener & Sediment Filter
A water softener is a type of whole house water filtration system that is designed for removing hard water minerals (magnesium & calcium) as well as dissolved iron and manganese from the water. Water is considered “hard” when water contains higher levels of dissolved calcium and magnesium. Hard water makes cleaning clothes more difficult, creates streaking on dishes and glasses and makes cleaning your hair and skin well a challenge.
It can also build up inside your piping distribution system and cause damage if not corrected.
