Water filter systems are growing more and more popular by the public
. These systems are being found to have benefits for all whether they are on public water sources or well water, also known as private water sources. When looking for a water filter system there are a number of things you need to know. First you need to understand what you need to filter out. If you are on well water, or a private water source, you and your next door neighbor may be pulling from different sources of water. In my experience, I have seen one household have a sulfur water problem and the neighbor have an iron water problem. Had either household taken the proper time and care, both would have had the proper filtration systems installed on their homes. Instead, they both purchased the same filtration systems, installed them and neither were satisfied because neither one was getting good results. As this problem outlines, both households blamed the filtration system without understanding they purchased the cheapest system that was only rated to remove sediment and not the odor color heavy materials they were dealing with. The proper thing to do is take a water sample and have it professionally analyzed. This will best tell you the contaminants that need dealing with. A professional water person can then point you into the right direction for the system to best fit your needs. A professional water person can also help with installation and make other recommendations as needed.
