FAQs

Activated carbon is produced from carbonaceous source materials. This can include coconuts, nutshells, coal, peat, and wood. It is used to purify drinking water by attracting and removing contaminants in water.

Of all of the carbon filters, the charcoal filters are the most effective. They can eliminate almost all known herbicides, pesticides, inorganic contaminants, and more.

Yes, if you notice an odd taste in your water, or if the water pressure has changed, it can indicate you need to replace your filters. Other signs that can indicate you need to change your filters are if your faucets start to make strange noises, or if your water is cloudy.

Reverse Osmosis, which is commonly referred to as RO, is a process to remove minerals and ions from water by pushing it under pressure through a semi-permeable Reverse Osmosis Membrane. This is a water purification process to ensure a home’s water is safe and pure.

Reverse osmosis systems remove sediment and chlorine from water. It uses a prefilter before passing water through a semipermeable membrane to remove dissolved solids. After the water leaves the membrane, it goes through another filter to perform additional purification before it enters the home’s main water system and flows through faucets.

There are many benefits to installing a tankless gas water heater instead of a hot water heater tank. To determine if it is the right option for your house, some criteria you should consider are:

• If you want to reduce your energy bills long-term.
• If you currently run out of hot water frequently
• If you have a bathroom, hot tub, or other appliance far from your existing water heater
• If you need on-demand hot water for your appliance.

Loop is a metal pipe that looks like a horseshoe coming out and going back into the wall in the garage. It diverts the water coming into the house thru the water filtration equipment.

Salt based water softeners remove the hard minerals (calcium and magnesium) from the water to provide softened water. Salt-free systems leave the minerals in the water but reduce scale.

The “job” of the carbon filter is to “clean” the water. Think of the “c’s” – carbon cleans chlorine and other contaminants from the water.
