Residential water treatment systems are used to remove contaminants and improve the taste of your water. They can be installed at the point of entry or the point of use, and either way, you’ll enjoy purer water. If you’re thinking about getting a filtration system from Empire Pump Service for your home in Green Forest, AR, you should know about your options.

Popular Water Treatment Methods

1. Carbon Filters

A carbon filter sends water through a bed of activated carbon, which attracts and absorbs the chlorine and other contaminants in the water. It’s also effective at removing the larger impurities, such as sediment. Those who have foul-smelling or odd tasting water can expect a significant improvement with an activated carbon filter. However, it’s not as effective at removing fluoride, chloramines, or heavy metals as other systems are.

2. Reverse Osmosis

water treatmentReverse osmosis filtration systems have grown in popularity because they are highly effective at removing the health hazards from the water. These systems use a high-pressure pump to force water through a semi-permeable membrane. Salt, dirt, and other contaminants cannot pass through the membrane, so they are discharged through a reject stream. The purified water is odor-free, pleasant, and safe to drink.

3. Mixed Media

Multimedia systems use different layers for filtration. The typical system uses anthracite, sand, and garnet because they all have different densities. Each layer is denser than the one before it, filtering out the finer contaminants that the layer before it didn’t catch. These systems are great for removing chlorine, heavy metals, fluoride, bad taste, and odor. They can be customized to deal with the unique problems for your water well.
