Water Filtration Systems
Sediment Filtration
As wells are created by drilling a hole in granite, it is not uncommon to have fine rock cuttings in the incoming water. Depending on the amount of sediment your home is experiencing, we will likely recommend one, or both, options. The spin-down filter filters down to 100 micron particles while the whole house filter reduces that size down to 5 microns. We recommend a whole house filter on every home, but if there is an exceptional amount of sediment in the well, we will recommend installing a spin-down prior to the whole house filter as the spin-down can be rinsed without replacing the cartridge.
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. The mineral bed must be replaced approximately once a year to ensure proper filtration.
UV Systems
We recommend installing a UV system whenever your potable water enters a reservoir before it enters the home.
The bulb must be replaced once a year to ensure that bacteria is effectively inactivated before the water is consumed.
