There are many different options for Jacksonville homeowners and commercial property owners to consider when it comes to water filtration systems. For many different types of residences and commercial properties a complete system is the most effective option, and they have benefits over simply using a filter on a tap or a filtered system for drinking water.
If you aren’t sure about your water quality, be sure to have it tested before considering a water treatment system. This allows you to narrow down your choices and find a treatment system that will be highly effective to address the water filtration needs you have on your property.
Point of Entry
When choosing a water filtration system for your home, the first option to consider is typically a whole house or a point of entry system. These systems treat all the water that comes into your home after the meter. If you are on a well, the treatment is typically either at the well pump after the pressure tank or at the home in the main intake line.
In some situations the point of entry water filtration system may be located after the line to the hot water tank, but this is typically only when specific types of contaminants are in the water, usually those that give the water a bad taste. Any type of contaminant that can result in increased sediment or corrosion to your hot water tank, tankless water heating system or any appliances or pipes using hot water should be filtered out in advance of the tank.
Point of Use
With point of use the filtration happens at the tap. In some cases, the filtered water is dispensed from a separate faucet, or the filter may be right in the line to attached to the tap itself.
With the larger water filtration mounted under a sink, there is often a series of filters, removing a wide range of different possible contaminants. For a large household or a commercial property with high demand consider the holding container capacity for the filtered water as this is not typically an on-demand type of filtration.
Maintenance
For water filtration systems in Jacksonville, including water softeners, non-salt water conditioners or reverse osmosis systems, there is very little maintenance. Regular changing of the filters, replacement of salt or flushing the systems is usually all that is required, and these are all very simple, easy and straightforward processes to complete on your own.
