Water Treatment

Water Treatment Options

There are a variety of choices available when you want to ensure that your water is as pure as possible.  These choices include the following:

• Filtration – use of a filter, such as carbon, to remove contaminants
• Softeners – uses a cation exchange resin (regenerated with sodium chloride or potassium chloride) to reduce the amount of hardness (calcium or magnesium) in the water
• Ultraviolet Treatment – disinfects the water or reduces the bacteria
• Reverse Osmosis – process that reverses the flow by pressurizing the water brought into a container and forcing it through pre- and post-filters along with the membrane

• Once the water treatment system is installed:
  • What maintenance can I do myself?
  • What maintenance would have to be handled by a professional?
  • How often will the maintenance need to be performed?
• Do I need to include special items–such as outdoor hot tub or garden water feature–when considering water treatment?
