Whole house water filtration systems will address water quality issues experienced in Dexter, Michigan. Selecting the right technology and sizing the system to meet water usage demands are key. Furthermore, proper maintenance will optimize the useful life and proper functioning of your new equipment.
A water test is the best starting point to identify the minerals or contaminants in the water and concurrently, at what quantities they exist. This will lead to the best solution and route to providing you with excellent water quality.
WATER SOFTENERS
High Efficiency Water Softener
A water softener is a type of whole house water filtration system designed for removing hard water minerals (magnesium & calcium) and correspondingly, dissolved iron and manganese from the water. For water with high levels of iron or manganese (“the stainers”), an “up-flow” water softener is recommended. Specifically, this will prevent mineral build-up in the bottom of the water softener. Further, high efficiency water softeners that are more efficient with both water and salt usage are equally preferred.

Further, there are many other types of systems to remove bad tastes & odors, sediment and many other objectionable minerals and contaminants in the water. Starting with a water test will lead to the right approach.
REVERSE OSMOSIS DRINKING WATER PURIFICATION
Drinking Water Purification
Reverse Osmosis drinking water systems include membrane separation, activated carbon adsorption and micro filtration to reduce the entire spectrum of contaminants that can be found in drinking water. For more on this, see the link at https://reverse-osmosis-drinking-water-systems.
WHOLE HOUSE WATER FILTRATION – Ultraviolet light disinfection systems
Ultraviolet disinfection systems will remove waterborne pathogenic organisms which can cause illness or contaminate production processes. Basically, they kill bacteria, viruses and other pathogens by preventing them from reproducing. The result? Safe drinking water.
ARSENIC IN WATER REMOVAL
Arsenic in water can be removed at the home’s point of entry. Specifically, tanks are filled with resin designed to capture the arsenic before it can get into the home’s water supply. Moreover, point of use systems for drinking water can use reverse osmosis technology to effectively remove arsenic as well. For more on arsenic removal, see the link at https://www.clearStream-arsenic-removal-system. Speak to a water treatment professional to decide which system is right for you.
BAD ODORS & TASTE
Overall, some common water quality issues include rotten egg smell, chlorine taste & smell, metallic taste & smell, petrochemical smell and others. Additionally, Carbon filtration and other methods are effective in eliminating these problems. Accordingly, speak to a water treatment professional to determine which is best for your situation.
