Water Filtration Systems in Butler, PA

Active Carbon Filters

Water filters use active carbon to remove and reduce contaminants. They’re extremely effective at removing dozens of chemicals, including chlorine, as well as those used in herbicides and pesticides. Often these contaminants will enter your water after they’ve left the municipal supply.

Even then, the municipal supply will often add chlorine to help purify your water, but there are times where the concentrations of chlorine can be excessive. The types of carbon filters you install will depend on which contaminants are plaguing your water. Aside from needing to have those filters replaced every three months, active carbon filters are very low maintenance.

Reverse Osmosis Filters

These filters have a membrane that allows nothing but water to pass through. Any molecules bigger than the water will not pass through, and they’ll be moved into a receptacle for removal. Reverse osmosis systems are especially good at removing the contaminants that active carbon can’t, such as bacteria, microbes, and non-dissolvable minerals.

The individual filters that make up a reverse osmosis system should be replaced every six to nine month, whereas the membrane should only need replacement about every 2 to 3 years. If your reverse osmosis system is regularly serviced and maintained as needed, it can last as long as fifteen years.
