| Professionally Installed Water Filters |
What is a Water Filter? Water filters are any systems that can filter and remove contaminants from the water. They can include small RO drinking water systems and also large whole house water filters which treat water throughout the entire home.
A water filter system by itself will only deal with the contaminants in your water. There are just as many water filters as water softeners. A carbon filter is a type of filter that will remove the most contaminants by itself. These filters are capable removing or reducing hundreds of contaminants in the water. Water filtration systems can be helpful in removing chemicle such as, Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOCs) such as pesticides, herbicides and other chemicals, Heavy Metals like lead and mercury, Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals are chemicals that may mimic or interfere with the normal hormones in the body, Fluoride fluoride has been linked to thyroid problems and other disorders when consumed internally

What is a Water Softener? Water softeners, as their name would imply, are a type of whole house water filter that softens water by removing minerals which make water hard and cause scale. Water Softening Does Not Remove Necessary Minerals and Nutrients
The main purpose of a water softener is to deal with the water "hardness". There are many different types of water softeners. There are ion exchange methods, magnetics, electrical, and catalytic methods. All of these methods have their pros and cons but they all deal with the effects of hard water can have on you home.

The technology in both water softening and water filtration has come a long way in recent years and it just keeps getting better. Water is an essential part of our lives and it is something we deal with on a daily basis and because of that it important to understand it and get the very best from it.
If you have a well water system you may have to have your water tested to see what state it is in is it iron heavy or possibly manganese heavy. Discovering this situation will help you determine if you need softening or filtration.
