Filter Types

Selecting the right whole-house water filter is crucial for ensuring clean and safe water throughout your home. Each type of filter serves a specific purpose and addresses different contaminants. Here’s a guide to help you understand the various options:

Types of Water Filters:

Sediment Filter:

  • Purpose: Removes large particles such as sand, silt, and rust from the water.

  • Benefit: Protects subsequent filters from clogging, thereby extending their lifespan and maintaining overall system efficiency.

  • Typical Use: Often the first stage in a multi-filter system is to remove larger particles before the water undergoes further purification.

Carbon Filter:

  • Purpose: Utilizes activated carbon to remove chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other chemicals.

  • Benefit: Improves the taste and smell of the water, making it more pleasant to drink.

  • Typical Use: Commonly used after sediment filtration to further purify the water by targeting chemicals and impurities not removed by sediment filters.

Reverse Osmosis (RO) Filter:

  • Purpose: Employs a semi-permeable membrane to eliminate heavy metals, nitrates, fluoride, and other dissolved contaminants.

  • Benefit: Provides thorough filtration for contaminants that carbon filters may not address, ensuring very high water purity.

  • Typical Use: Often used in conjunction with pre-filters (like sediment and carbon filters) to remove larger particles before RO filtration takes place.

Ultraviolet (UV) Light Filter:

  • Purpose: Uses UV light to kill bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens in the water.

  • Benefit: Ensures that the water is safe to drink by eliminating microbial contaminants, providing an additional layer of protection.

  • Typical Use: Can be used as a final stage in a filtration system to ensure complete disinfection of the water.

Customizing Your Filtration System:

These filters can be used individually or combined, depending on the specific contaminants in your water. To determine the best setup for your home, we recommend conducting a water quality test. This test will identify the contaminants present and guide the selection of the most effective filter combination.

How They Work

Whole-house water filters are designed to operate through multiple stages to ensure comprehensive purification and deliver clean, safe water throughout your home. Each stage targets specific contaminants, providing thorough treatment. Here’s an overview of the filtration stages:

Stages of Filtration:

Sediment Pre-Filter:

  • Function: Captures large particles such as sand, silt, and rust from the water.

  • Benefit: Prevents these particles from clogging and damaging subsequent filters, thereby extending their lifespan and maintaining the overall effectiveness of the filtration system.

  • Importance: Acts as the initial line of defense, removing debris and larger impurities before the water proceeds to more sensitive filtration stages.

Carbon Filter:

  • Function: Utilizes activated carbon to remove chlorine, unpleasant tastes, odors, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the water.

  • Benefit: Enhances the taste and smell of the water while eliminating harmful chemicals, making it more palatable and safer to drink.

  • Mechanism: Activated carbon traps contaminants on its surface through adsorption, effectively removing them from the water.

Advanced Filtration (Optional):

Reverse Osmosis (RO) Membrane:

  • Function: Uses a semi-permeable membrane to remove heavy metals, nitrates, fluoride, and other dissolved impurities.

  • Benefit: Provides an additional level of purification by filtering out smaller particles and contaminants that carbon filters may not address, ensuring very high water purity.

UV Filter:

  • Function: Employs ultraviolet light to kill bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms present in the water.

  • Benefit: Ensures the water is microbiologically safe by addressing potential biological contaminants, providing a final safeguard against harmful pathogens.

Benefits of Multi-Stage Filtration:

  • Comprehensive Purification: Each filtration stage targets different types of contaminants, ensuring that your water is clean and safe from a wide range of impurities.

  • Extended Filter Life: By starting with sediment removal, you protect and prolong the effectiveness of more delicate filters.

  • Improved Water Quality: Advanced stages like RO and UV provide additional layers of protection for even cleaner water.

At AfterHours Plumbing & Drainage Services, we design and install whole-house water filter systems tailored to your specific needs. Our multi-stage filtration solutions ensure that every faucet in your home delivers high-quality water.

Choosing the Right Filter

Selecting the appropriate whole-house water filter involves understanding your water’s specific needs and choosing a filter that effectively addresses those needs. Here’s a guide to help you make an informed decision:

  1. Test Your Water:
  • Purpose: Identifies contaminants such as chlorine, sediment, heavy metals, pesticides, and bacteria.
  • Types of Filters Based on Contaminants: 
    • Activated Carbon Filter: Effective for removing chlorine, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and improving taste and smell.
    • Reverse Osmosis (RO): Ideal for eliminating heavy metals, nitrates, fluoride, and other dissolved impurities.
    • UV Purification: Best for killing bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms.
  1. Match Filters to Your Water Source:
  • City Water: Typically requires filters that target chlorine and chloramines, which are used in municipal water treatment.
  • Well Water: Often needs filters to address issues like iron, manganese, and biological contaminants that may be present in groundwater.
  1. Consider Flow Rate:
  • Definition: The flow rate indicates how much water the filter can process per minute, measured in gallons per minute (GPM).
  • Importance: Ensure the filter can handle your household’s water demand without reducing water pressure or flow rate.

How to Choose:

  1. Conduct a Water Test: Determine what contaminants are present in your water.
  2. Select the Appropriate Filter Type: Based on the contaminants identified and your water source.
  3. Check Flow Rate Requirements: Ensure the filter can accommodate your household’s water usage.

Our Installation Process

At AfterHours Plumbing & Drainage Services, we ensure a smooth and efficient installation of your whole-house water filter by following a structured process. Here’s a detailed overview of how we handle the installation:

1. Choose the Installation Location:

  • Spot Selection: We select a convenient and accessible location near the main water pipe to ensure easy access for future maintenance and filter replacements.

2. Turn Off the Main Water Supply:

  • Preparation: We turn off the main water supply to prevent any water flow during the installation, ensuring a dry and safe environment to work in.

3. Prepare the Pipe:

  • Cutting: We use a pipe cutter to remove a section of the main water pipe where the filter will be installed. This allows us to integrate the filter into the system effectively.

  • Smoothing: We smooth the cut edges of the pipe to avoid any damage to the plumbing components and ensure a proper fit for the new connections.

4. Mount the Filter Bracket:

  • Installation: We securely mount the filter bracket on the wall or suitable surface, ensuring it is level and stable to support the weight of the filter.

5. Connect the Filter:

  • Attachment: We connect the inlet and outlet ports of the filter to the main water pipe using appropriate fittings, ensuring a secure and correct connection.

  • Sealing: We wrap Teflon tape around all threaded connections to ensure a leak-proof seal, preventing any potential leaks.

6. Check for Leaks:

  • Testing: We slowly turn on the main water supply to check for any leaks around the connections. This step is crucial for identifying and addressing any issues before completing the installation.

  • Adjustments: If any leaks are detected, we tighten the connections as needed to ensure a perfect seal and eliminate any leakage.

7. Flush the System:

  • Procedure: We flush the system according to the manufacturer’s instructions to clear out any debris or particles from the installation process. This helps to ensure the water quality is not compromised and the system operates smoothly from the start.

By following these steps, we guarantee a professional and effective installation of your whole-house water filter, providing you with clean and safe water throughout your home. For expert installation and maintenance services, contact AfterHours Plumbing & Drainage Services.
