Water Filter Systems in Houston
You use water at home every day without thinking about it. Whether you drink, cook dinner, take a bath or shower, or wash your clothes, water is used, but you probably don’t think about what may be in it. After all, the city tests and treats your water supply — doesn’t it?
The City of Houston follows strict EPA regulations when it comes to testing drinking water. This involves collecting samples from water sources, filtering particulates, and treating water to kill bacteria. In the process, chemicals are used that may remain in trace amounts by the time the water reaches your home. Mineral deposits may be present as well, especially calcium and magnesium, which can form hard water deposits in pipes and on dishes and clothes.
Village Plumbing, Air & Electric Can Protect Your Water Supply
Water filters and water softener installation can protect your entire home. We install whole-house water filtration systems so that fresh water flows from every faucet and fixture. Our technicians start by testing for contaminants that may or may not affect the look and taste of water but can be present in potentially harmful quantities. The process requires professional tools and equipment. Once we fully assess your water supply, we can recommend the right water filtration system for your home.
Water filtration systems can remove harmful contaminants such as:
- Chlorine
- Hexavalent chromium
- Mercury
- Iron
- Bacteria
- Viruses
- Minerals
- Nitrates
- Dissolved solids
