Wholesome Water for Your Whole Home

Imagine turning on your faucet and having clean, refreshing water flow through every tap in your house. That’s the magic of a whole-home water filter system that purifies your water supply before it reaches any fixture or appliance. Unlike point-of-use filters that target specific taps or appliances, whole-house filters treat water as it comes onto your property from the municipal supplier.

Whole-home water filtration presents a comprehensive solution for homeowners who want to enhance the quality of water throughout their entire residence. This centralized system efficiently removes a wide array of contaminants, including chlorine, heavy metals, pesticides, sediment, and bacteria.

Showers are more powerful; iced tea and lemonade taste better; clothes are more vibrant; and dishes sparkle.

How Whole-House Water Filters Work

To understand how it works, let’s join a water molecule on its journey to your bathtub or hydration flask:

• Municipal Supply: Our water’s journey begins at the municipal water treatment plant, where it began life as wastewater, and after some TLC to remove harmful contaminants and bacteria, it’s ready for a new mission.
• Entry Point: The treated water travels through underground pipes and reaches your home’s main water line. This is where the whole-home water filter system is installed at the point the city supply line enters your property.
• Pre-filtration: Whole-home systems often start with a sediment pre-filter. This sieve snags the low-hanging fruit, or rather, large dirt, sand, and rust particles that hitched a ride during the trip and could gum up the more delicate steps down the line.
• The Main Event: The heart of the system depends on the specific type of contaminants the unit is designed to remove. Various processes focus on different impurities:
  • Activated Carbon: Charcoal granules activated to make them porous and absorbent and irregularly shaped to maximize their surface area act like tiny magnets, attracting and trapping chlorine, chloramines, volatile organic compounds, and elements that make water taste and smell unpleasant.
  • Reverse Osmosis: An advanced filtration method that uses a semi-permeable membrane to remove a broader spectrum of contaminants, including dissolved minerals, heavy metals, and even bacteria. RO filtration is particularly effective for homes using well water or private water supplies.
  • Ultraviolet Light: Using the part of the spectrum with shorter wavelengths than visible light, UV purification penetrates and disrupts the DNA of viruses, bacteria, and mold, rendering them harmless.
• Distribution: Once the water is thoroughly filtered, it’s ready for use! Your plumbing system distributes the clean, purified water to faucets, showerheads, dishwashers, and more.

Pompano’s Water Quality Challenges

Water conditions can vary significantly throughout the Gold Coast. Homeowners often face challenges related to water taste, odor, and hardness. To be clear, whole-home filters will not remove calcium and magnesium; that’s the water softener’s job. But it does work in tandem with your water softener to free your supply from elements that impact the water’s overall quality so you can enjoy:

• Water Quality: Clean, great-tasting water from every tap, eliminating the need for bottled water or separate filtration devices on each faucet.
• Appliance Longevity: By removing harmful minerals and chemicals that contribute to wear and tear, these systems can prolong the life of water-using appliances such as washing machines, dishwashers, water heaters, and even coffee makers.
• Better Health: Filtering out contaminants and bacteria potentially reduces health risks associated with exposure to certain chemicals and pathogens.
• Less Scale Buildup: Hard water minerals can cause scale buildup in pipes and appliances, reducing efficiency and lifespan. Whole-house filters can help address this issue.
• Enhanced Beauty: Filtered water can leave your skin feeling smoother and your hair less dry.
