There are many different ways to treat your home\u2019s water, but only a few of them might apply to your specific situation. For instance, if your water makes you sick due to some kind of biological contaminant, a water softener or water filter might not give you the same results as a UV light water purifier that eliminates viruses and bacteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This process can get very complicated, which is why we advise all of our customers to get a second opinion from a licensed contractor. Our team of water treatment specialists can not only test<\/strong> your water before we perform any service, but then we can use our experience and high-tech equipment to install the right water filter or purifier to make your water usable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whole house water filtration<\/a> might sound intimidating, but we promise that our team will walk you through this process with ease!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UV Water Purification<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First, let\u2019s talk about purification. Many people use the terms \u201cpurification\u201d and \u201cfiltration\u201d interchangeably, but there is a difference!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Purification <\/strong>usually means the elimination of biological contaminants through UV light radiation or other methods. Purified water has no viruses, bacteria, mold, or mildew in it because it has been subjected to treatment that kills single-celled organisms. Don\u2019t worry, when you install a UV water purifier, it doesn\u2019t impact your own personal health. Think of it like the same amount of radiation as direct sunlight!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try our new VIQUA Arros<\/em>TM<\/sup><\/em> which will purify your water with a high-powered UV light, but only when your home demands water! This cuts back on 35% of the system\u2019s energy usage over time. This unit is perfect for residential homes that are ready to have purified, clean water.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Water Filtration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Next, we have water filtration<\/strong>, which is any method of filtering your water so that particles over a given size are taken out. This is important because there are some harmful particles that can exist in your water source that you\u2019ll be better off without!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These kinds of contaminants can be dirt, debris, volatile organic compounds like paint, and even plastics. No amount of UV light would make these particles any less harmful for your body or plumbing system, but a filter can simply siphon them out while the rest of your clean water travels into your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Water Softening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What about minerals? Not every water source is devoid of minerals. For hard water that might be impacting your personal life or plumbing system, a water softener is a great tool to remedy this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This system can easily remove minerals like magnesium or calcium from your water so that it\u2019s more usable for laundry and cleaning. With a water softener, you can avoid mineral buildups in your pipes and also you\u2019ll have more vibrant skin and hair too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As water specialists, we wouldn\u2019t be very good at our jobs if we didn\u2019t have great workarounds for most household water issues. Perhaps you\u2019ve got a plumbing issue instead of a potable water problem? We can take care of it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first thing you should do is schedule an appointment with us so we can take a closer look. Then, we\u2019ll give you some suggestions as to what could better make your water more usable for drinking, bathing, cleaning, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
