Water Treatment Solutions in Suffern
We recommend that you regularly test your water quality. This testing is very important for well systems and beneficial for homes with municipal water.
By scheduling tests at least every few years, you can identify new challenges as water quality changes over time. These may include high particulate levels, parasites, and potentially dangerous chemicals and gases.
- Peace of mind
- Healthier drinking water
- Better taste, smell, and clarity
- Less reliance on bottled water
- Improved water for cooking and mixed drinks
Point-of-use systems, often cartridge-based, work well for specific taps like kitchen faucets, coffee machines, and soda makers. They typically contain a single cartridge filled with activated carbon for both mechanical filtration and adsorption.
Users find them convenient and relatively inexpensive at first. However, these systems yield a lower volume of water, and the costs for filter media can add up over time.
For a high volume of water, we recommend installing a whole-home or point-of-entry (POE) water purifier. These systems connect directly between the main water line and the home’s plumbing. Professional sizing is necessary for this type of system, as it can create a bottleneck.
Ensure the flow rate meets or exceeds the household’s highest demand. Otherwise, you may experience lower water pressure, increased wear on the system, and other issues.
POE water treatment typically includes several stages. First, a prefilter traps the largest particulates, which are essential for well systems and beneficial for municipal water. Next, a primary sediment filter captures most dirt, heavy metals, and other particles.
The effectiveness of a sediment filter depends on the size of its largest pore. These systems also use activated carbon to enhance taste and smell while removing chloramines, pharmaceuticals, herbicides, and more.
Sediment filters can trap some pathogens, but UV lamps offer better protection. You can choose a multi-stage water purifier that includes an integrated UV light. Our team also installs standalone UV sanitizers.
Many households in Suffern face the challenge of hard water. While it is generally safe to drink, hard water can damage plumbing and appliances. A whole-house water softener offers the best solution for moderately hard and hard water.
These systems remove most of the calcium from your water before it enters your home by exchanging calcium for salt. Our team can set up these systems to ensure that your water purifier and softener complement each other.
