Do You Need a Water Purifier in Hanover?
The only way to know if your water is poor quality is to have it tested. You can seek countertop in-home water testing and a range of filtration options, including those for hard water with a high mineral content.
Whole-home water filtration is the most effective purification method because it treats the water supply before it enters your home. The water passes through a series of filters to remove contaminants, making it healthier and tastier for your family.
Under-the-sink water filters, ideal for safe drinking and cooking water, can be installed under any sink in your home. Although they do not help protect your entire water supply, they provide protection at the installed faucet.
If your water issues stem from hard minerals, you can install a water softener. A water softener works through an ion exchange process. It removes hard minerals from your water source and replaces them with sodium ions, which soften the water. Thus, the water softener treats your water source before it enters your home.
Finally, you can install acid neutralizers. These can stop plumbing corrosion that severely damages boilers, water heaters, and washing machines.
You may need water filtration if you notice these signs.
- Deposits on plumbing fixtures
- Decreased water pressure
- Oily film on standing water
- Water heater sediment buildup
- Discolored water
- Water tastes or smells funny
After testing, you will know the contaminants in your water, and we will give you options to help you combat them. These tests determine if your water source has lead, chlorine, bacteria, and nitrates, among other contaminants.
With proper care, whole-home filtration systems can last up to 25 years. Professional installations, maintenance, and repairs can extend the lifespan of your system.
