In-Home Water Filtration in Tipton, IN
As more people become conscious of their carbon footprints and the impacts the products they use every day can have on the environment, they’re looking for ways to make more environmentally conscious and sustainable choices.
One of the easiest things to eliminate from your day-to-day to help the environment is bottled water. Each year, it takes over 17 million barrels of oil to manufacture single-use plastic water bottles. While these bottles are recyclable, only one in every four makes it to a recycling facility.
Unfortunately for some, bottled water isn’t always about convenience; drinking water bottles can be a necessity due to contaminated water affecting homes’ water supplies. When the water from your taps is unsafe it’s unlikely you’ll give up bottled water.
For some victims of contaminated tap water, reverse osmosis filters can help. These filters can remove many pollutants that may be making your tap water unsafe or even just unpleasant to drink. Professional plumbing technicians from Summers Plumbing Heating and Cooling have been working with homeowners in Tipton, IN for over fifty years and have plenty of experience to help install a reverse osmosis filtration system in your home.
How Reverse Osmosis Works
In a reverse osmosis system, water flows through a series of filters that remove contaminants in the water, leaving water cleaner and safer on the other side. These filtration systems can be integrated with your existing plumbing, so you won’t have to think about putting water in an exterior filtration system that makes you wait for clean water and takes up extra space in your kitchen.
Pre-Filtration
During this step, large particles in the water like dirt and sand are removed. Removing these first helps to protect the special membrane that performs the next step of the filtering process.
Semi-Permeable Membrane
A semi-permeable membrane allows water molecules to pass through while blocking molecules from other substances like:
- Lead
- Flouride
- Arsenic
- Copper
- Chlorine
- Sodium
- Viruses and bacteria
Post-Filter
Once major contaminants are eliminated by the semi-permeable membrane, it passes through a final carbon filter that removes anything that might have made it through.
Reverse Osmosis Services
Summers Plumbing Heating and Cooling offers a range of reverse osmosis filtration services, from the installation of new systems to maintenance and repairs on existing ones.
Installation Services
Even if you purchase a reverse osmosis filtration system from someone else, our technicians want to take the stress of installation out of your hands. Working with a professional rather than attempting to take care of installation yourself means knowing that the work is done right the first time and that the system is working correctly.
Filter Change Services
Reverse osmosis filters do require routine replacement in order to function correctly. If left too long, all the benefits provided by the filtration system will be reversed, allowing contaminants to reenter your water supply. Every year, the three different filters that make up the reverse osmosis filter will need to be swapped out for fresh ones, and we’re ready to help you.
Maintenance and Repair Services
Regular system checks can help catch problems in a reverse osmosis filtration system before they turn into costly repairs. However, if something is seriously wrong with a system, our technicians will work to determine the cause and fix the problem as quickly as possible so you can go back to enjoying crisp, clean water.
Replacement
If you already have a reverse osmosis filtration system and want to upgrade to a newer one, Summers Plumbing Heating and Cooling can help remove the old system and install the new one efficiently.
Benefits of Reverse Osmosis Filtration
Reverse osmosis filtration uses a series of filters, each designed to pull different contaminants from water. Even water that has been treated at a municipal facility runs the risk of being contaminated on the trip from the facility to your taps. By installing a filtration system in your home, you can enjoy benefits like:
- Avoiding contamination of drinking water
- Improved taste and clarity of drinking water
- Decreased chance of illness from environmental contaminants like lead in water
- Better tasting coffee and tea
