Whether you have municipal water or a well, there can be many impurities you simply don’t want to drink. This concern is a big reason why Americans spend billions of dollars every year on bottled water. The good news is that there are alternatives, and the expert plumbers at Uplift Plumbing, Heating & Air recommend whole-home water filtration in Marshfield, MA.

Another problem area homeowners face is water hardness. It’s not necessarily bad to drink, but hard water can wreak havoc on your plumbing, appliances, and skin. Water softeners are the solution on that front. You may also want to consider reverse osmosis, which effectively combines filtering and softening.

You can reduce your reliance on bottled water and enjoy soft and great-tasting water throughout your entire home. If that’s a home upgrade that interests you, Uplift Plumbing, Heating & Air is here to help.

Expert Water Filtration in Marshfield

There are two main types of water filters for the home: point of use (POU) and point of entry (POE). A canister water filter that sits on your counter or under your sink is an example of POU. It’s a relatively cheap solution, but it’s limited. It provides filtered water to that faucet only.

If you opt for a POE system, we’ll install it between your home’s main water line and its plumbing system. This is possible whether you have a well or a municipal line. This way, you get filtered water from every fixture and for every appliance.

Most filters on the market have a particulate filter for trapping sediment and other particles. They also have activated carbon, which removes odors along with chemicals, including chlorine and chloramines. If microorganisms are a concern, you may also want to consider ultraviolet (UV) filtration.

Water filtration can help you improve many aspects of your water:

Taste

Smell

Clarity

Hardness

Chemical content

Water Softeners for Improved Water

Many homes have hard water, which means that the water is rich in calcium and magnesium. You may have hard water whether you have a well or get your water from the city.

If you shower in hard water, you’ll be prone to dry and scaly skin along with bad hair days. It’s also terrible for cooking because it can affect taste and smell in unpredictable and unpleasant ways. Hard water is also bad for your plumbing and all of your water-consuming appliances.

Water softeners are almost always POE systems. This ensures that you get soft water throughout your entire home. Most of these systems work by filtering water through a tank that contains plastic or resin beads. You do need to replace these beads over time, but many systems employ a regenerative cycle to extend their lifespans.

Water softeners can extend the life of many appliances:

Dishwashers

Refrigerators

Washing machines

Gas, oil, and electric boilers

Tank and tankless water heaters

Reverse Osmosis as an Alternative

Reverse osmosis (RO) is water treatment process that involves pressurizing water through a semipermeable membrane. It’s among the most effective solutions for removing particulates, dissolved salts, pesticides, lead, chlorine, and much more. With RO, you don’t even need activated carbon to remove odors and smells; the RO does that as well.

Reverse osmosis also softens the water because all of the calcium and magnesium leaves the liquid. Drinking water free of all minerals isn’t good for people or pets. We need those minerals for healthy equilibrium in our bodies.

The solution to this problem is a remineralization stage. After the water has gone through the RO process, this filter restores a healthy level of natural minerals. Those include sodium and potassium and even calcium and magnesium.
