Water Filtrations Ensures High Quality Water Throughout Your Home

We install and replace water filtration systems to ensure high quality water throughout your home.

Water Filtration

This will often result in lime build up and inefficient appliance performance, including stiff laundry, spotty or cloudy dishware, soap scum residue, etc. It can also cause damage to your pipes and hot water heater.

Unlike the DIY filters that attach to faucets, whole-house water filtration systems comprehensively filter all water entering your home.

Benefits of Water Filtration

Water filtration systems offer several benefits regarding plumbing services and the overall functionality of your plumbing system:

Improved Water Quality

Water filters remove impurities and contaminants from your tap water, such as sediment, chlorine, heavy metals, and bacteria. This leads to better-tasting and cleaner water for drinking, cooking, and bathing.

Reduced Mineral Buildup

Filtration systems can help reduce the buildup of minerals like calcium and magnesium in your plumbing pipes and fixtures. This minimizes the risk of limescale deposits, which can restrict water flow and lead to clogs and reduced water pressure.

Extended Appliance Lifespan

Water filtration can extend the lifespan of appliances like water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines. Cleaner water reduces the risk of scale buildup and corrosion inside these appliances, allowing them to function more efficiently and last longer.

Environmentally Friendly

Using a water filtration system can reduce your reliance on bottled water, which helps reduce plastic waste and the environmental impact of plastic bottle production and disposal.

How to Maintain Water Filtration Systems

Proper maintenance of your water filtration system is essential to ensure it continues to provide clean and safe drinking water. Here are steps to help you maintain your water filtration system effectively:

Regular Filter Replacement

The most critical aspect of maintenance is replacing the filters on schedule. Filters can become clogged with contaminants over time, reducing their effectiveness. Follow the recommended filter replacement schedule provided by the manufacturer.

Replace Filters Properly

When changing filters, make sure to install them correctly, following the arrows or flow indicators marked on the filters. Tighten filter housings securely but avoid over-tightening, which can damage the threads.

Professional Servicing

If you encounter complex issues or are unsure about maintenance procedures, consider hiring a professional plumber from 24/7 Plumbing Co. who specializes in water filtration systems to inspect and service the system.

Sanitization

Some systems may benefit from periodic sanitization. This involves flushing the system with a sanitizing solution to remove bacteria or algae buildup. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for this process.
