Once we determine what’s in your water, we can begin to review your water treatment system and conditioning options. The simplest water filtration systems use charcoal to remove sediment and debris that build up in your pipes or supply. When the only thing in your water worth noting is a high level of iron, debris or sediment from underground pipes, a simple drinking filter may all that is needed. In some cases, specialty cartridges may be necessary for things like nitrates and arsenic or sulfur. These cartridges are usually integrated into your current water filtration system but must be checked frequently and calibrated to your specific contaminant levels to avoid over treatment.

However, if your water is hard or has a very low pH balance, it needs to be treated more thoroughly. Water softeners are often used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis treatment device to ensure salinity doesn’t start to build up in your drinking water – a dangerous development if you’re not careful. Reverse osmosis is the most effective and thorough water treatment system on the market and will remove almost all potential contaminants.
