Water Systems involve the filtration of hard water. Hard water is water that is full of minerals like calcium and magnesium and when not properly filtered can cause illness, pipe damage, clothing damage, and many more unwanted problems. So what exactly does a water treatment system do? Here is a small list of the properties that go into a proper filtration system:
●Disinfection- this process kills bacteria and any of the negative amenities that come with them(worms, viruses, etc.). This is done number of ways either through boiling, Pasteurization, Ultraviolet Radiation Rays, or the well known and pool used chlorination.
●Filtration- filtration is used after the water has been stripped of any contaminants that could harm the filtration system itself, mainly processing only potable water. There are four main kinds of filters used in filtration systems: Mechanical- removes organic matter like sand and clay, Active Carbon- removes built up chlorine, most odors and negative tastes, Oxidizing- removes iron, hydrogen sulfide and magnesium, Neutralizing- treats and removes acidity from water. This helps keep the metal chemicals in your pipeline from contaminating your water.
●Reverse Osmosis- the simple yet effective treatment of water where water is pressurized two ways through a semipermeable membrane and dissolves almost all inorganic materials(up to 99%).
●Distillate- heats water to vaporization, when the steam begins the process to re-condense and begins to become liquid again it is without impurities(minerals, metals, chemicals, etc.) ●Water softeners- through the process of ion exchange, water softeners take out the minerals and metals that cause build up in your pipe lines and keep out anything that is known to cause interference with soaps and detergents used on dishwater and clothing. This process involves either the owner adding salt chemicals on a monthly schedule or having an automatic system in place that does the process for you and only is labor intensive when salt runs low or needs to be flushed.
