Water Filtration Systems Explained

Are you concerned about the quality of your drinking water? Are there too many impurities or contaminants getting in and making it cloudy or smelly? Investing in a water filtration system is one of the best ways to ensure that your family has access to clean, safe drinking water.

But how does a water filtration system work, exactly? In this blog post, we’ll explain how these systems can help improve the safety and taste of your tap water, as well as discuss different types of filters available on the market today. Read on to learn more!

Filtration Types

The most common type of water filtration system uses physical and chemical filtration to remove impurities from the water. Physical filtration involves straining the water through a filter to remove larger particles, materials and debris. Chemical filtration works by using absorbent charcoal filters that use adsorption to trap impurities in the water.

Sediment Filters

Sediment filters are another type of filter used in home water filtration systems. These filters work by physically blocking sediment from entering your drinking water supply. They have pores that are too small for sediment particles to pass through, trapping them before they can enter your home’s pipes or drinking glasses.

Carbon Block Filters

Top-of-the-line filters may also use carbon block filters which reduce unwanted tastes and odors by absorption. Carbon block filters are made up of activated carbon which has been compressed into a solid block form and then treated with oxygen to create millions of tiny pores on its surface. These pores act like a sponge, trapping contaminants as the water passes through them.

Aeration

Aeration is another process used in some types of home water filtration systems. It provides fresher tasting and smelling water by adding air to it, which allows trapped gases to escape.

Coagulation

Finally, coagulation is another process used in some types of home water filtration systems. This process suspends solid particles so they can be more easily removed from the drinking water supply before entering your home’s pipes or drinking glasses.

I contacted WaterDR for a mitigation system for a high Radon reading after a home inspection. I spoke directly with one of the technician’s “Joe “ he was absolutely polite and informative.

Josh and the other technicians at Water Doctor are real experts and extremely knowledgeable. Even better, for the one obscure piece of equipment I had they had little experience with, they admitted they would have to check with someone else in the company before rending an opinion. These guys are honest, smart, ethical and have fair pricing. They won’t sell

The guys from Water Dr. couldn’t have been any better to deal with over the years. We sold our house and they did our least service/tune up. Years of great service on our well. Fairly priced. Just nice guys to do business with. If my new house had a well they would be my guys.
