Tap water may contain contaminants that can affect taste and quality. Using water purification systems, such as those offered by our team at Carico, helps remove harmful substances and improve water purity. Hard minerals, such as calcium or magnesium, can build up and affect appliances. Here are some types of contaminants water filtration systems remove:
1. Sediments and Particulates
Sediments include dirt, sand, silt, and rust particles. These might enter the main water supply through aging pipes or natural sources. The water may become cloudy and impact plumbing systems if not addressed promptly. At Carico, our team provides advanced filtration systems to remove particulates, making water clear and clean. It removes sediments, which helps extend the lifespan of household appliances, preventing any clogs or buildup in pipes.
Our team at Carico also offers innovative water filters and purifiers with little to no waste. Our products are designed for the kitchen, showers, baths, and whole-house filters. They do not require electricity and remove many contaminants, including lead.
2. Chlorine and Chloramine
Chlorine and chloramines help to disinfect water and kill bacteria. While they are effective for sanitation, the chemicals might leave an unpleasant taste and odor in drinking water. A water purification system, such as an Ultra Tech, filters 99% chlorine and chloramine. It reduces the levels of chlorine and chloramine, improving the taste and quality of water.
3. Heavy Metals
Heavy metals, such as lead, mercury, and arsenic, can lead to health issues if consumed over time. These contaminants might leach into the water from corroded pipes. There are various filtration systems, including an Iron Mag Tank, to remove any impurities. Using an Iron Mag Tank system, designed to reduce iron and other heavy metals, protects the water supply. It minimizes the metal content, including iron, manganese, arsenic, radium, and hydrogen sulfide.
4. Hard Water Minerals
Hard water contains high levels of calcium and magnesium, which can produce buildup in pipes. The water might also cause skin irritation and dry hair, and reduce the efficiency of household appliances. Soap and detergents might also lather less, making it challenging to clean clothes or dishes. Using a Saltless Conditioner Water Softening system improves water without salt. This helps preserve beneficial minerals while preventing scale formation. Here are some other benefits of the water system:
- Softer skin and hair
- Reduced buildup and scale
- More efficient appliances
- Removes and reduces sediment, herbicides, and pesticides
