Why Having a Water System is a Necessity and Not a Luxury

Why a 3 stage system?

Most homes that are equipped with just a water softener are only solving one aspect of having good water quality in the home. A softener will take care of the plumbing and fixtures and assure you of lower soap and detergent usage. It will also give you softer skin and hair, not to talk of sparkling dishes, cleaner and brighter laundry, and no hard water build up which makes housekeeping easier. Your appliances will also benefit, they will be efficient because there is no scale build up.

However, having water clean of contaminants is just as important for your family's health and well being. The whole house filter will remove chlorine and hundreds of contaminants, including pesticides, herbicides, agricultural chemicals and other industrial chemicals that are finding their way into our water supply. Since our skin is the largest organ in our bodies, we should be alarmed at the damage we can do to ourselves if we do not remove these substances from our immediate environment. 

The filter will also protect the softener resin from premature failure from chlorine attack, and will prevent it from fouling. Softening resin can last 15 - 20 years or more in unstressed conditions. Chlorine and metal fouling are the primary culprits in resin degradation.  There is a general rule that can be used to predict the effects of chlorine on resin life. This rule states that for each ppm of chlorine in the influent water the resins life will be cut in half. This guideline should only be used as an estimate. For example, if there is 1 ppm of chlorine in the influent water the resin will have a life expectancy of 7 to 12 years. 2 ppm of chlorine will give a life expectancy of 3 to 6 years.

An under sink Reverse Osmosis system will provide you with all the drinking and cooking water you need, so that you do not have to buy bottled water. You will help the environment by not contributing to the millions of PET bottles that are clogging up our landfills.

Providing a complete solution to having premium water quality in your home is our goal.
