WATER SOFTENER & OTHER FILTRATION SYSTEMS

High Efficiency Water Softener

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. For water with high levels of iron or manganese (“the stainers”), an “up-flow” water softener is recommended to prevent mineral build-up in the bottom of the water softener. In addition, high efficiency water softeners that are more efficient with both water and salt usage are preferred.

REMOVAL OF PFAS

There are technologies effective in removing PFAS from drinking water, especially Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and Perfluoro octane sulfonic acid (PFOS). These are the most studied of these chemicals. Moreover, the most effective technologies include Ion exchange, activated carbon adsorption and reverse osmosis.

WHOLE HOUSE WATER FILTRATION – Radon & Arsenic in private wells

Other contaminants found in New England well water include Radon and Arsenic. Radon in water is safely removed with an aeration system that agitates the incoming well water, releasing the gas from the water in a sealed chamber. This gas is then safely vented outside the home or building. See the link to the EPA information on radon in water, see https://archive.epa.gov/water/web/html/basicinfohtml.

Radon in Water Filtration

Arsenic in water can be removed at the point of entry into the home by installing tanks filled with arsenic specific resin. Importantly, this approach captures the arsenic before it can get into the home’s water supply. In addition, point of use systems for drinking water can use reverse osmosis technology to effectively remove arsenic as well. Speak to a water treatment professional to decide which system is right for you.
