In Dayton, OH, water quality is tested daily to ensure it meets state and federal standards. Contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, and chlorine may be at acceptable levels. That doesn’t mean some undesirable pollutants aren’t present. Hard water is of particular concern; it’s not a serious health hazard (although it can cause dry skin and hair), but it can stain clothes and dishes, damage appliances, and cause limescale in pipes.

Apex Pros installs whole-house water filtration and water softening systems in Dayton. When water enters your home, any contaminants present move with it through your plumbing system. Unless you have a filter at every fixture, the water may not be as clean as you think. Read our 5 Star Reviews!

A whole-house filter treats water at the entry point from the local water supply. Therefore, the water you use will have been fully treated by the time it reaches any faucet, fixture, or appliance.

Benefits of a Water Filtration System

The Dayton water supply is considered safe. However, a water filtration and softening system has many benefits. Some of the advantages of having one in your home include:

  • No unwanted tastes or odors
  • Clean water at every fixture
  • Less frequent drain and pipe clogs
  • Stain-free clothes and dishes
  • Softer skin and hair
  • Chemical- and germ-free water
  • Longer-lasting appliances

Types of Whole-House Water Filters

Several types of filtration systems are available. Some water filters are installed under the sink to deliver purified water. They can be quite effective and efficient. Apex Pros can also install whole-house water filtration systems in Dayton that address a range of issues and send fresh water to every tap.

Water filters are also defined by their filtration method and purpose. There are a few types to choose from. The most common water filtration solutions include:

Water Softeners

A water softener removes calcium and magnesium using an ion exchange process. The “hard water” ions are collected in a resin bed that regenerates once it fills up. Salt is then used to flush the minerals from the resin. Some Kinetico water softeners have two or more tanks, which enables them to continue operating while one tank regenerates. Only kinetic energy is used to move water, reducing electricity consumption.

Carbon Filters

A carbon whole-house water filtration system removes contaminants by attracting them to an activated carbon surface. The process of adsorption draws them in, similar to how a magnet attracts metal. Carbon filters can remove chlorine, lead, nitrates, pesticides, and many types of volatile organic compounds. Granular activated carbon filters contain loose granules of carbon; they’re often part of a multi-stage water filtration system, while carbon block filters compress carbon to form a highly adsorbent filter.

Sediment Filters

A sediment filter separates debris from the water that passes through. It can remove dirt, sand, silt, soil, and various other suspended particulates and solids. Mechanical filtration is used to physically block these contaminants. However, a sediment filter does not remove chemicals, bacteria, or heavy metals, so it’s often used along with other filtration methods.

Ultraviolet Purification Systems

An ultraviolet (UV) water purification system uses UV light to damage the DNA of viruses, bacteria, and parasites. They are then unable to reproduce, minimizing the risk of water-borne illnesses spreading in your home. A UV purifier often works in conjunction with a sediment filter that reduces cloudiness. Therefore, the water is clear enough for UV radiation to reach microbiological matter more effectively.
