Every home deserves high-quality water. I think we can all agree on that point, regardless of where you live or your specific budget. Nobody deserves to be forced to drink bottled water or use hard water for showers and laundry because that\u2019s just the natural state of their water. These things can be changed and we\u2019re huge proponents of water treatment that\u2019s effective and affordable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, many people have trouble differentiating the different water treatment systems in Shelton, WA.<\/a> We offer many options, from water conditioners to water filters. So, let\u2019s talk about three unique systems, how they work, and why they\u2019re so valuable for your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure you work with a licensed professional for the installation and maintenance of your home water treatment system. These units go through a large volume of water and they require steady support to work as effectively as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Water Softeners and Water Conditioners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Water softeners and conditioners treat the materials in your water. These might not necessarily be contaminants, because minerals like magnesium and calcium are safe to drink and bathe with, but they\u2019re not good for your plumbing system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think about investing in a water softener if your plumbing system is constantly being corroded or encased in limescale which makes things look rusty or dirty. This is usually a sign of minerals building up as they settle out of your water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Water Filters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Water filters<\/a> are a must in many of the municipalities where our customers live. It\u2019s not just due to the quality of groundwater, but it\u2019s impacted by the fact that we live near a lot of natural aquifers that contain different materials that are not safe for drinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dirt, sand, plant matter, and other materials can get caught up in your water source and lead to you and your family getting sick. Even if they might be safe enough to use with detergent and soap when washing clothes or dishes, they can be bad for your body and cause rashes or skin sensitivities to develop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s not even mentioning the various different man-made contaminants that could be in your water, like plastics and runoff. A filter will go a long way in removing contaminants that would otherwise cause you and your family harm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Water Purifiers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The main difference between a water purifier and a water filter is in the contaminants that are treated and eliminated. Water filters just keep out contaminants above a certain size, so they can treat both mold spores and dirt if they\u2019re above the minimum size of particle that\u2019s caught by the filter. Water purifiers rely on powerful technology like UV lights to irradiate germs and eliminate all biological contaminants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is important, because many virophages or bacteriophages are microscopic compared to other contaminants. A single grain of sand or dirt will be magnitudes larger than a virus cell, which is why they\u2019re harder to capture with a filter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But a UV water purifier eliminates these cells regardless of how large they are, due to the power of UV light radiation. This light is harmless to humans and it doesn\u2019t do anything to the rest of the water, but it does render microorganisms harmless and unable to reproduce, which protects you and your family from getting infected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
