When it comes to providing clean, safe drinking water for your home, whole house water filters and systems are an excellent solution. A whole house system treats all the water entering your home, effectively removing a wide range of contaminants from both city and well supplied water.
In the Tampa Bay area, whole home systems are great for dealing with issues like hard water, iron, sulfur odors, chlorine taste and odor, heavy metals, bacteria and microorganisms. They also protect your plumbing and appliances from scale buildup and corrosion.
There are a variety of effective treatment options to choose from:
Water Softeners
Water softeners like the AquaLux Water Softener are ideal for treating hard water, which is commonly found in well water as well as some city supplied water in the Tampa area. Hard water contains high levels of calcium and magnesium minerals that cause scale buildup, dry skin, and detergent inefficiency.
Water softeners use an ion exchange process to remove the minerals and "soften" the water. This protects your home's plumbing and appliances while also improving the feel of the water for bathing and cleaning.
Catalytic Carbon Filters
Catalytic carbon filters like the AquaCarbonGuard effectively treat water contaminated with iron, sulfur, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide - issues commonly seen in well water.
These heavy metals cause orange and black staining as well as a "rotten egg" odor. The catalytic carbon media oxidizes the contaminants into particles that are then filtered out. This provides clean, odor-free water for the whole home.
Multi-Stage Filtration Systems
For dealing with a broad range of contaminants in city or well water, a multi-stage whole house system like the AquaBlue is a great option.
These systems combine several treatment technologies - like sediment filters, activated carbon, and UV light - into one compact, efficient package. This allows for the removal of sediments, chlorine, bacteria, chemicals, heavy metals, and more from the water.
UV Disinfection
UV systems like the AquaGuard use ultraviolet light to inactivate disease-causing pathogens like bacteria, viruses, and protozoan cysts, including E. coli and Giardia.
UV disinfection provides very effective and chemical-free protection against waterborne illnesses, making it ideal for supplemental treatment of high-risk well water or contaminated city supplies.
Chlorine Injection
For private well water that tests positive for bacteria, chlorine injection combined with a retention tank provides reliable disinfection.
Chlorine destroys harmful microorganisms as the water is held in the tank for a period of contact time. This treatment method provides whole home bacteriological protection that is easy to maintain.
Ozone Oxidation
Ozone generators like the HydroClear infuse water with ozone, a powerful oxidizing agent, to destroy bacteria and viruses as well as oxidize iron, sulfur, manganese and other contaminants.
Ozone effectively treats pathogens and heavy metals without adding chemicals to the water. It also helps remove unpleasant tastes and odors.
Reverse Osmosis Filtration
For contamination issues that persist after whole house treatment, reverse osmosis systems like the AquaRevive provide purification at the tap.
RO uses a multi-stage filter process and membrane technology to remove up to 99% of total dissolved solids, heavy metals, chemicals, bacteria and other impurities from water. This produces safer, cleaner drinking and cooking water.
Commercial & Industrial Systems
For businesses, schools, hospitals, apartments and other large facilities, HydroTech Pro and AquaPurity commercial water systems provide efficient whole building treatment.
These heavy-duty systems soften water and filter out a broad spectrum of contaminants to optimize water quality for the entire property. Options for advanced purification like UV disinfection and reverse osmosis are also available.
Well Water Treatment Packages
All-in-one well water treatment packages like WellFusion simplify the process of addressing multiple issues often found in well water such as hardness, iron, sulfur, manganese, bacteria, and chemicals from the Floridan Aquifer.
These bundled systems come with all the necessary components pre-designed to work together to remedy contamination from wells and provide whole home clean water.
The Benefits of Whole House Water Treatment
There are many advantages to safeguarding your home's water supply with a whole house filter or purification system:
Provides clean, conditioned water to all faucets and showers in the home
Removes a wide range of contaminants from city or well water
Protects plumbing and water-using appliances from scale, corrosion, fouling
Eliminates odors, discoloration, and bad taste
Improves the efficiency of soaps and detergents
Enhances the feel of water for bathing and showering
Reduces exposure to waterborne illnesses
Saves money compared to bottled water
Requires less maintenance than point-of-use filters
Increases property value and marketability
Whole house systems also guard against health issues caused by contaminants like hard water and disinfection byproducts that occur when chlorine reacts with organic matter. These can come from either city or well supplied water.
Professional Installation
To ensure your whole house water treatment system performs effectively and reliably, it's highly recommended to have professional installation by a water quality expert. This includes proper sizing, programming, permitting, and service plan enrollment.
Trying "do-it-yourself" installation often leads to underperforming systems and the need for costly repairs or replacements down the road. Leave it to the professionals for long-lasting peace of mind.
