Water Filtration Systems Boise, ID
Picture
  • Here in Boise, Idaho and the surrounding communities, the water quality and composition varies depending on where your business or residence is located.  You may need a water filtration system in addition to or instead of a water softener depending on your location, whether you use city or well water, as well as your skin and health's sensitivity to elements in water. Boise Valley Plumbing has the technology to test your water to help you determine what is the best choice.

  • Differences Between Water Softeners and Water Filters or Purifiers
    A water softener uses salt to remove many impurities and metals, however, it does not remove as many contaminates as a water filtration system.  Homeowners often connect a water softener, so it softens all the water in the house, and then add a filtration system to kitchen and/or bathroom sinks. 

    What Does a Water Filter Remove?
    Below are the contaminants not normally removed by a water softener or conditioner.
  • Metals such as arsenic, iron or copper
  • Industrial and pharmaceutical byproducts like pesticides or hormones
  • Sediment and other organic troublemakers

 Do I Need a Water Softener or a Water Filtration System?
That depends on why your are concerned about your water quality.  If you have lime scale buildup, traces of rust in your bathtub or toilet, hard water spots on your dishes, then a water softener may solve your problem.

If your water smells or tastes bad, a water filter would be your best choice.  A water filter also removes industrial contaminates, some bacteria and viruses, and pesticides.  If the people using the water have skin sensitivities or health issues, a water filter may be helpful.

Water purification systems for homes with and without wells come in several different sizes and types, with a variety of applications, to ensure the water in your home remains as clean and healthy as possible. But deciding which water filtration system is suitable for your home and circumstances can be difficult. For example, do you need to remove iron or other contaminate as they enter the water main, or do you want to improve the quality and flavor of your drinking water?  A water softener can improve your water, but there are particulates too small for a water softener. These can affect the odor and flavor of your water.
The professionals at Boise Valley Plumbing have the experience and expertise to help you choose the correct water filtration system for you.

WHICH WATER FILTER IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
Drinking water systems and point-of-use filters are commonplace in Bend, Oregon homes. If you have a well, groundwater can seep into wells through cracks or faulty caps and flood your water with any number of bacteria and microorganisms. 
Drinking water systems ensure the water you and your family enjoy every day is free from all odors, tastes, and—most importantly—toxins that are harmful to your health.
Drinking water filters can be installed under the counter or run through your faucet. We call this treating water at its point of use.
Homes with wells often need a filter where the water enters the house before the water softener to remove iron and other contaminants before they enter the water softener or water heater.

COMMON TYPES OF WATER FILTRATION SYSTEMS
  • Activated Carbon Water Filters – These filters remove large particles of contaminants from water, such as silt and sediment. Using these filters can result in better tasting water due to the reduction of chlorine.
  • Reverse Osmosis Filters – Perhaps the most complex and all-consuming water purification system for homes with wells, the reverse osmosis process removes a wide range of contaminants harmful for human and animal ingestion.
  • Ultraviolet Filters – Treating water with UV light provides an environmentally friendly filter that destroys toxic bacteria with ultraviolet radiation.
  • Backwashing Filters– These larger filters treat your home’s specific water problems, whether neutralizing acidic water, removing chlorine, or eliminating iron and nuisance particles.
At Boise Valley Plumbing, we provide free estimates based on your specific needs. As a local plumbing company, we are very familiar with the water conditions in the different parts of the valley.  We know from experience the types of filtration systems that can address the unique issues that are particular to each town and neighborhood.
