Main Water Line Filtration Systems

This type of system is installed at the point where the water enters your home or building.

They usually contain a carbon filter, sediment filter or a combination of both, depending on the water quality.

The process involves cutting into the main supply line, attaching the filter housing, and reconnecting the system.

Regular cleaning and filter replacement are relatively easy and simple. Replacement filter costs will vary depending on your water usage.

Other additional treatment methods can be added to this system, such as R/O, UV, and distillation.

Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration Systems

A RO system isn’t typically installed at the main supply line, but instead under a sink to supply even purer drinking water.

There’s a sediment and a carbon pre-filtration stage plus a semi-permeable membrane involved.

The RO membrane can filter out bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, and other impurities.

Water is then kept in a storage tank for ready and on-demand use, dispensed from its own dedicated faucet.

Periodic cleaning and filter change is necessary to maintain the system. Factors like water quality and usage will determine frequency and new filter costs.

Distillation Water Treatment Systems

These systems can be more expensive than RO ones but result in the purest form of water.

However, depending on your unique water needs, this system may be exactly what you require.

Some units contain a carbon filter while other don’t. Either way, cleaning and maintenance are relatively easy and cheap. Units vary in size and price ranges.

Like a RO system, a distillation system is usually installed where you’d like pure drinking water dispensed.

There’s a heating element that vaporizes the water which is condensed back into water and stored in a holding tank.

UV Water Sterilization Systems

These systems can be combined with the other systems mentioned here. It can be installed on the main supply line or at any point of use.

Water passes through a chamber where a UV lamp emits light that neutralizes microorganisms, effectively sterilizing the water.

Regular maintenance involves cleaning the quartz sleeve around the lamp as well as periodic replacement of the lamp itself.

Proper plumbing connections, electrical wiring, and positioning of the lamp are critical when installing. An electrician may also be required for the installation.

Unit vary in size and price ranges, depending on your needs.
