Not every home needs a treatment system for their water supply. However, your water could potentially be exposed to contaminants in future, and you can take steps to make sure your home is prepared. Thankfully, there are numerous water treatment solutions available on the market, ranging from quick-service chlorine treatments to whole house water filtration systems.
Here’s a brief guide to help you make sense of it all and find a solution that works for you!
Contrary to popular belief, not every tap-water sink draws from a toxic waste dump or an amoeba-filled lake. Sometimes you just need a simple solution that prevents common mineral contaminants like calcite deposits and silt. Water softeners utilize a safe chemical solvent to break down minerals and metallic particles to prevent hard water. It also makes some pretty tasty water!
Filtration systems take water treatment a step further by directing contaminants out of water flow. Many chemicals, some biological matter, and metals are then trapped in a tightly-weaved mesh of filters (typically made of carbon). Now filter potency will vary based on pricing and model function, but filtration provides marked differences in your home’s water quality.
Finally, there are water purification systems, the most extreme form of water treatment. Through ozone injection, reverse osmosis, and other methods of purification, almost all minerals, chemicals, metals, and biological contaminants are wiped out from your water supply. All that remains afterwards is clean water. This treatment system is particularly valuable for families with higher sanitation needs.
