Water Filtration Services - Bridgewater, MA

Some homeowners have access to clean, soft water, making it easy to do everything from cooking and cleaning to taking showers and doing laundry. Others are stuck with water that contains minerals like magnesium and calcium or, worse, PFAS and other harmful contaminants that could impact their families health. The good news for those who fall into the latter group is that there are effective, affordable solutions for dealing with contaminants and hard water and our plumbing company can help!

One of the best ways to tackle these issues is to install a home water filtration system. Even homeowners who thought the water coming from their municipal suppliers was superior quality often find that it tastes better and gets dishes cleaner after installing water filters.

Types of Water Filters

Before scheduling a water filter installation, homeowners should take a moment to consider their needs and options. If they only want to remove contaminants from drinking water, a basic carbon filter installed beneath the sink may be enough. However, most families want to take full advantage of their new systems, which requires installing whole-home water filters. Both whole-home and independent water treatment systems are available in multiple forms, the most common of which include:

Carbon filtration systems are the most common. They comprise multiple layers of activated carbon, which traps impurities as the water passes through. Carbon filtration systems are usually the most affordable.

Reverse osmosis filters work a little differently. They transfer water from an area of high ion concentration to a low concentration through a specialized membrane under pressure. The membrane allows water flow but will stop any impurities from getting through.

Finally, water softeners remove impurities in the form of minerals rather than viruses or bacteria. Removing the minerals from hard water makes it taste better and reduces problems like dishwater stains. While hard water is not damaging to human health, most homeowners find it’s still worth installing systems that incorporate filters and water softeners for improved convenience.

The Best Type of Water Filter

Choosing the best type of water filter for a specific application requires attention to several details. Those details can include what kinds of impurities are found in the local water supply, what the family plans to do with the treated water, and how a new filtration system will fit into the household budget.

The best water filter for household use removes as many contaminants as possible without being prohibitively expensive for some families, which means simple carbon filters installed beneath the kitchen sink. For others, it means combined systems that feature carbon and reverse osmosis water filters and an in-line water softening system.

Why Hire a Professional Plumber?

Today’s most advanced water filters are installed in the home’s water supply lines before they reach any fixture, so homeowners should hire a professional plumber to do the job right. Whole-home and under-sink water filters also require ongoing maintenance, and the same plumber can likely also help with service calls once the system is installed. Professional plumbers are experts, which means they will know how to complete each step in the installation or repair process without the risk of damaging pipes or equipment.

Water Filter Repairs and Maintenance Services

Once the water filter is installed, homeowners will still need the help of a professional plumber. All filtration systems require ongoing maintenance, whether that means flushing or filter changes, and experienced plumbers are the only ones that can provide those services without voiding the equipment’s warranty. In most cases, annual professional maintenance visits are required by manufacturers.

Even a well-maintained water filter system will eventually need repairs, as well. Homeowners who have had their systems professionally installed and maintained will already know who to call.
