Atlanta Water Filtration Systems
We all drink water. We all benefit from, and love the taste of CLEAN water. But let’s face it, tap water is far from delicious, being loaded with chlorine and other minerals that contribute to it’s often objectionable taste and detract from its natural healthy properties. In order to combat this, many homeowners prefer to have their water filtered before it ever reaches their glasses, icemakers, or coffee machines. This is often accomplished by faucet- and under-sink mounted filter systems. Faucet mounted systems are prone to leaks however, adding stress to the neck of your faucet. Under-sink systems are a better solution, but still only service and filter whichever fixture they are installed on. And for some homeowners, this is all that is required.
We install any under-sink filter system of your choice, leaving you with great tasting water supplied to your kitchen sink (the most common installation location).In order to have completely filtered water throughout your entire home, flowing from every faucet, tub, shower, and even hose connection, we recommend a whole-house filter system. Installed on your main waterline shortly after it enters your home, whole-house filter systems are low-maintenance and efficient way to meet your water filtration needs.
There is a wide variety of filter systems for residential applications, and careful consideration is needed when purchasing one. How many people live in your home? What size is your main waterline? How often do you want to replace the filter itself? What is your price range? These are all questions you need to ask yourself before shopping for such a system. After all, some systems are simple in-line units weighing a couple of pounds, while some are larger, multi-component setups with separate reserve tanks, filter units, valve assemblies and pressure controllers.
Most whole-house water filtration systems function via a process called reverse-osmosis. Reverse osmosis is a water-separation process that uses pressure to force the water through a filter or membrane that retains the impurities (chlorine and minerals) on one side and allows the purified water to pass to the other side. The filter in a reverse osmosis system is thick and sifts out contaminants and impurities very efficiently and thoroughly.
From the simplest to the most complex and expensive, all reverse osmosis filtration system perform the same function, albeit with greater efficiency, filter lifespan, and volume output coming from the higher end systems. If you have never had a filtration system installed in your home, we recommend starting with a low-priced, small-scale unit to best gauge your home’s needs. If a larger system is wanted or needed, you can upgrade at any time.
