Choosing the Right Water Filter for Mains (Council) Water
At Filtration Station, we understand that mains water, also known as council water, typically meets safety standards but can still contain certain contaminants that affect taste and safety. Here's what you need to know about filtering mains water to enjoy cleaner, safer, and better-tasting water.
Key Concerns with Mains Water
- Sediment:
- Mains water can carry sediments such as sand, silt, and rust particles from pipes.
- Recommended Filters: Sediment filters, such as Pentair's sediment cartridges, effectively capture these particles and prevent them from reaching your taps.
- Chlorine:
- Chlorine is commonly used in water treatment to disinfect and kill bacteria. However, it can leave an unpleasant taste and odour.
- Recommended Filters: Activated carbon filters are excellent for removing chlorine and improving the taste and odour of your water. Pentair’s carbon filters are highly effective in this regard.
- Water Hardness:
- In some instances, mains water can have high levels of calcium and magnesium, leading to water hardness. This can cause scale buildup in pipes and appliances.
- Recommended Solutions: Water softeners or descaling systems can help reduce hardness. Pentair offers solutions designed to address water hardness effectively.
Suggested Filtration Systems
Whole House Systems:
- For comprehensive filtration, consider a whole house system that addresses sediment, chlorine, and water hardness, providing clean water to every tap.
