Different Types of Water Filtration Systems
If you’re on municipal water, the main issue is chlorine. The taste and smell are undesirable. However, chlorine is a good way to get rid of organisms that cause cholera, typhoid or diphtheria. Once the water gets to your home, you can remove it to wash clothes and to remove chlorine from your drinking water. Many people don’t like chlorinated water hitting their skin in the shower or affecting plants that they grow in the yard after watering them with house water.
If you have well water, there are a variety of house filtration options that our plumbing company can install for you. One common problem with well water is the smell of rotten eggs. This smell comes from a chemical interaction with minerals or gases. To remove these contaminants, you may have to rely on different technologies.
