Water Filtration Systems
Sediment filtration for the home helps remove particles from the water supply, improving water quality and protecting plumbing. One option offers a reusable filter that can be easily rinsed out without disassembly, effectively filtering larger sediment particles. Another option provides finer filtration but requires regular cartridge replacement every few months or as water pressure decreases, depending on water quality. Both solutions help maintain cleaner water and prevent sediment buildup in household systems.
Sediment Filtration
-
The Vu-Flo Filter is capable of filtering out sediment down to 100 microns in size.
It has flush valve at the bottom in order to rinse the filter out without having to disassemble
-
Omni Whole-House Filter has the capability of filtering down to 5 microns.
The filter cartridge must be changed every 3 months or whenever you notice a decrease in pressure in the home.
Frequency of filter exchange depends on the quality of water the filter is coming into contact with.
Iron Filtration
In Western NC's mountainous areas, where excess iron in water is common, a backwashing iron filtration system provides an effective solution by using a mineral bed to remove iron and iron bacteria, as well as reduce sulfur odor, improve water taste, and balance pH.
-
A backwashing iron filtration system removes the iron from the water.
It has a mineral bed inside of one of the two tanks that contacts the water and removes the iron bacteria.
The mineral bed must be replaced approximately once a year to ensure proper filtration.
UV Systems
We recommend installing a UV system whenever a well pumps water into a reservoir before it enters the home or when the home uses a spring.
This ensures that all bacteria are effectively inactivated before the water is consumed.
-
A UV System verifies that any and all bacteria is terminated before it is consumed in the home.
The bulb must be replaced 1x per year to ensure proper filtration.
