Mission: Water Filtration vs. Water Treatment – Understanding the Difference

Water filtration and water treatment are terms that are often used interchangeably, but they have distinct roles in water quality. At Plumbing Plus, we help you understand the difference, so you get the right solution for your needs.

• Water Filtration: Filtration systems remove physical contaminants like sediment, chlorine, and some chemicals from your water. They’re designed to improve water taste, odor, and clarity.
• Water Treatment: Treatment systems go a step further, addressing bacteria, viruses, and other harmful contaminants. Treatment often involves additional processes like water softening, UV sterilization, or reverse osmosis.

Whether you’re looking to filter your drinking water or need a comprehensive treatment solution, Plumbing Plus has the expertise to help you choose the right system for your home.

Types of Water Filtration Systems – Choosing the Right Solution for Your Home

Not all filtration systems are created equal. From basic carbon filters to advanced reverse osmosis units, we offer a range of filtration solutions, each with its own strengths.

Our Water Filtration Options Include:

• Carbon Filtration: These filters are effective at removing chlorine, sediment, and certain organic compounds, improving taste and odor. Carbon filters are a great choice for basic drinking water filtration.
• Reverse Osmosis (RO): An advanced filtration option, RO systems remove contaminants like lead, nitrates, and fluoride by forcing water through a semipermeable membrane. This option is ideal for comprehensive filtration needs.
• Whole-House Filtration: Installed at the main water line, whole-house systems filter all the water entering your home, removing contaminants before they reach your faucets. These systems can include multi-stage filters to address a range of impurities.
• UV Filtration: UV systems kill bacteria and viruses without chemicals, making them a great choice for households concerned with microbial contaminants. UV filtration is often used alongside other filtration systems for maximum safety.
• Water Softeners: These systems treat hard water by removing calcium and magnesium, which can cause scale buildup. Softeners are ideal for areas with hard water issues and help protect pipes and appliances.

Our team will assess your specific water quality needs, recommend the right system, and install it with precision. At Plumbing Plus, we believe in providing water that’s not just clean but truly mission-ready.
