Water softener

We’ve all heard the phrase “hard water,” but do you actually know what it is? Your water supply contains calcium and magnesium, which is referred to as “hard water”. It can cause eczema, make your clothes a different hue, dry out your hair, clog up your fixtures, shorten the lifespan of your appliances, cause your fixtures to become clogged, and leave white spots on the surfaces of your dishes, preventing them from ever shining perfectly. Because the water in Ballantyne, North Carolina, is so hard, calling us is an easy way to find out if you need a filter. Ion exchange, a technique used by softeners, gets rid of these minerals. Resin-like tiny plastic beads are present in every softener. Tiny salt molecules are bonded to this resin and will exchange with the minerals. Consider salt as a weaker magnet for the minerals calcium and magnesium; as the minerals pass, they push the salt aside and adhere to the resin, a process known as ion exchange. A washing is necessary to get rid of the minerals as the calcium and magnesium accumulate. Softeners need a salt-filled brine tank to restore the system after a predetermined amount of gallons have passed through. Due to the varied amounts of hardness in each water supply, each system needs to be restored at a different period. When your water is tested, the results will be shown in grains of hardness; the higher the grain, the more salt the system needs.

• Measured in Grains Per Gallon (GPG)
• Soft: 0 – 3.5 GPG
• Moderate: 3.5 – 7 GPG
• Hard: 7 – 10.5 GPG
• Very Hard: 10.5 GPG +

When the outlet valve is shut, the water softener starts pouring extremely concentrated salt through the system, pelting the resin and replacing all of the magnesium and calcium with salt. To prevent the contents of the wash from harming the surroundings outside during this operation, the leftovers are poured down a drain. This procedure continues until the brine tank’s salt content needs to be restored. You can be sure that you’re getting the best water possible from the softener because only a tiny quantity of salt is added to your water supply—barely enough to notice a difference in flavor.

Carbon Filter

Chemicals are now a commonplace element of our life, from gasoline to cleaning goods. However, are you willing to put any such chemical into your body? Your body continues to absorb toxins like chlorine and other (VOCs) Volatile Organic Compounds via the skin like a sponge when you bathe, even if you use a Brita filter and only drink water that has been filtered. Your water supply must have chlorine added by the city of Ballantyne in order to kill any potentially hazardous bacteria. In order to purify your water and keep you safe, many more chemicals are added; nevertheless, these chemicals may impart flavors and odors into your water that you don’t want. Carbon filters remove any chemicals from your system that could cause the water to taste or smell off, giving you tap water with the same quality as bottled water. With the help of active carbon, this filter uses your water supply’s VOCs as a sponge to absorb them. When you focus on the active carbon, it resembles a sponge in appearance but is much finer and capable of far more adsorption.

UV Filter

While an Ultra Violet filter is safe for humans, it is extremely harmful for tiny microorganisms. The bacteria or virus die as a result of the UV light destroying their DNA. Although the sun also emits this UV light, a large portion of it is blocked by the atmosphere. A UV filter lets 100% of the power to pass through, which is strong enough to quickly kill bacteria and viruses before they reach your home.

Sediment Filter

One of the simplest filters you can install to your house is utilized in well-equipped homes to keep sand-like material from blocking your pipes. This functions as a sort of net that traps anything larger than a red blood cell (5 micron), which is around 30 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair.

Reverse Osmosis Filter

Reverse osmosis filters produce the purest drinking water possible. They eliminate everything larger than a water molecule because their semi-permeable membrane prevents anything larger from passing through, including viruses, bacteria, salt, and chlorine. The time would be the sole drawback of a RO filter. An RO filter stores water in a tank so that it can be utilized later. The only restriction on RO filters is how much you want to spend. Some producers offer whole-house filters that can be connected to anything from a 500-gallon tank that can be used whenever you’re ready to a 2-gallon tank that is located under the sink. The only constraints are time and money, which, depending on the type you choose, can easily range from less than $1000 to well over $10000. Before making a decision, always seek the advice of a professional. We are here and ready to assist.
