The water in your home plays a big role in your overall health and well-being, as well as the health and well-being of your family. Unfortunately, most untreated water in the Silicon Valley area carries unwanted contaminants, such as chlorine, nitrates, arsenic, bacteria, and other harmful substances. The amounts of these contaminants can range from small traces to substantial. One of the best ways to protect yourself and your loved ones is to have a water treatment system installed.

Types of Water Treatment Systems and What They Do

There is a broad range of water treatment systems, each of which is designed to do different things. The right type of system for you will depend on your unique preferences and concerns. You may even wish to have multiple whole-home systems installed to maximize your water’s quality. 

Simply Green Plumbing, Sewer & Rooter installs several types of popular water treatment systems and can help you find the best option for you.

• Water softeners are ideal for removing substances like calcium, iron, and magnesium from water. Removing them turns “hard” water into “soft” water.
• Reverse osmosis moves water through a semipermeable membrane to remove unwanted particles and improve your water’s taste.
• UV-light water filtration removes harmful bacteria with ultraviolet (UV) light, resulting in safer drinking water.
• Activated carbon filters absorb contaminants and impurities, as well as reduce or remove unpleasant odors.

Mechanical filtration systems trap and remove unwanted particles. This is one of the most common, straightforward types of water filtration systems available.

This is not an exhaustive list of available treatment systems. Our Los Gatos water treatment team can help you look at all your options and find the right solution for your home and your needs.

Benefits of Water Treatment Systems

Nobody wants pollutants in their water. A water treatment system will purify your water supply, making the water you ingest through drinking, cooking, and gardening healthier. There are additional advantages to these systems.

• Improves the look, taste, and effectiveness of water as well as promoting health and well-being
• Removes impurities caused by old water pipes that may contain soil sediments, rust and other contaminants
• Benefits the environment by encouraging less purchase and disposal of plastic water bottles and filters that you might normally rely on because of the poor quality of your tap water
• Saves you money on buying bottled water. An average family drinking 2-3 bottles of water a day can rack up annual costs exceeding $500. 
• Extends the lifespan of your water pipes, hot water heaters, and other appliances by eliminating the minerals, heavy metals, and chemicals in your water that can cause corrosion and damage to your pipes and water-using appliances. 
• Prevents skin irritation by eliminating chemicals contained in the water.
• Cleans better with less soap and detergents. By removing the concentration of minerals, it increases the effectiveness of the cleaners in your clothes washer, dishwasher, and other cleaning appliances. Thus, you get cleaner results with less products.
• Reduces limescale and other mineral deposits. These are the white, chalky deposits left on tile, tubs, and other fixtures where water is used.
