Plumbing Tip 17: How To Choose A Water Treatment System

Choosing a water treatment system for your Diamond Bar home is a process that takes research and education in order to make an informed decision on what is needed and the best system for a given job. Before diving into the details of the process it is ideal for consumers to educate themselves on the quality of the drinking water which is being supplied to their home or business. Identifying contaminants which should be removed from the water allows for a necessary base knowledge-base which will help in identifying water treatment systems that treat the specific contaminants which need to be removed.

Water Treatment Technologies

Drinking water treatment systems utilize a number of technologies which are available, each technology focusing on producing a particular result by running water through it.

  • Filtration: Separates undesirable elements from water by use of a layered absorbent medium such as carbon which keeps larger particles in the water from flowing through the membranes while still letting the water through.
  • Ultraviolet Treatment: The use of ultraviolet light to disinfect water and reduce the amount of microorganisms present in water.
  • Reverse Osmosis: Removal of large molecules and ions from water by applying higher pressure to one side of the membrane, then pushing the water through the selective membrane, leaving contaminants behind.

Water Treatment Devices

In order to choose a water treatment system which is appropriate for your particular needs, have a look at the water treatment devices which are currently available on the market.

  • Point-of-Entry System: The purpose of this whole-house system is to treat a majority of the water which passes into a residence. Some water softeners are POE systems.
  • Point-Of-Use System: Water is treated in batches and delivered to a single tap such as an auxiliary faucet mounted next to the kitchen sink. Within the POU system are a number of options such as the personal water bottle, pour through pitchers, faucet mounts, counter-top manual fills, counter-top connected to sink faucet, plumbed-in to an existing faucet, or plumed-in to a separate tap.

Once you decide what your Diamond Bar home’s water treatment requirements are, how extensively you want your water treated, and what contaminants you want to focus on eliminating, it will become quite easy to choose a water treatment system which is right for you.
