Water Filters for Rocklea Residents
The water filtration system offered by PBS Plumbing gives Rocklea residents the ability to have cleaner, better-tasting water delivered straight to their homes. Although the water supplied by local utilities meets state and federal regulations, many of the homes located in Rocklea suffer from issues with sediment content, a chlorine smell and taste from the water, and build-up of minerals from hard water deposits that can lead to damage to household plumbing and appliances, as well as diminishing their ability to function properly.
PBS Plumbing conducts a thorough evaluation of the water supply in your residence before recommending the appropriate type of filtration system. Using only master plumbers for the installation of filtration systems, who are licensed and regulated by the State of Queensland. The master plumbers will provide you with a demonstration of how your filtration system works and will also establish a schedule for performing routine maintenance and cleaning of your filtration system so that you will always know what to expect from this product.
Twin vs Triple Filter System
Individuals on mains water usually don’t get much visible sediment (compared to individuals relying on tank water, for example); however, ultra-fine particles (i.e., particles that are smaller than 100 micron, the width of a human hair) can clog up carbon filters much quicker than anticipated and reduce water pressure. The issue of elevated sediment is especially prevalent in areas with known water quality issues or an influx of sediment; for example, due to public works, flooding, and drought, which are all common causes of elevated total suspended solids levels in mains water. So, whilst carbon filters do block sediment and it is possible to run a dual carbon system, consider whether a triple filter system with a sediment pre-filter and dual carbon set-up is more suitable.
Dual Carbon
Dual carbon will give the best result for reducing the maximum amount of chemicals on a whole house scale on mains water. The combination of filters we most commonly recommend is the maximum chemical reduction combination, which consists of:
Filter 1: 5 Micron sediment filter
Filter 2: 20 Micron low pressure drop coconut carbon – reduces chlorine without compromising on water pressure
Filter 3: Your choice of carbon block:
0.5 Micron chloramine reduction coconut carbon – composed of catalytic carbon, which has exceptional adsorption abilities (and can help to reduce chloramine, unlike standard activated carbon, which requires a longer contact time to reduce this chemical)
0.5 Micron lead (heavy metals) reduction coconut carbon – if you don’t get chloramine in your water source, consider this cartridge for the added benefit of reduced lead and other heavy metals
Benefits Of Our Filtration
Investing in a filtration system is a boon for your family’s health and well-being. By ensuring clean water, filtration systems shield your loved ones from harmful contaminants, fostering a safer environment at home. With purified water, hydration becomes more refreshing and beneficial, improving your internal health (such as digestive health) and external appearance (healthier skin and hair). Ultimately, such systems promote a healthier lifestyle, offering peace of mind and a safer haven for your family to thrive in.
Three-Stage Water Filtration System
The three-stage water filtration system is one of the most widely used systems installed in Rocklea homes, as it addresses several common water quality problems simultaneously, including sediment, chlorine odour and taste, and trace amounts of heavy metals.
Stage 1: Sediment Filter
Sediment filters are designed to capture and remove sand, rust, dirt, silt and any other fine particles from the water before they can enter your home’s plumbing system. By capturing and removing sediment prior to entering your home’s plumbing, sediment filters help reduce the chance of sediment build-up inside the pipes and appliances and prevent plumbing from becoming blocked. Sediment filters also reduce the amount of wear and tear on the appliances and pipes used to supply water to your home.
Stage 2: Water Softener
Water softener systems are designed to reduce the amount of minerals found in hard water (mainly calcium and magnesium). The softened water helps to reduce the amount of scale build-up on faucets and shower doors and reduces the amount of time and effort needed to clean the appliances and pipes. By limiting the amount of scale build-up, softened water can help to extend the life of water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines.
Stage 3: KDF/GAC Filter
The third stage filter contains a combination of KDF media and granular activated carbon (GAC) to further reduce chlorine, heavy metals and organic materials found in municipal water supplies. In addition to the reduction in chlorine, the combination of KDF media and GAC also limits the growth of bacteria and significantly improves the taste and odour of municipal water supplies. The KDF/GAC filter can be used in both whole-house systems and under-the-sink filtration systems.
