Water Filtration Solutions Available in Darra
PBS Plumbing supplies water filtration solutions to homes in Darra. Our company helps homeowners have better quality water at each of their taps. Although the water supply for the area has been treated, many residential customers deal with a variety of issues with their water supply, including bad-tasting water, mineral build-up on bathroom fixtures, and a feeling of it being too harsh when using the water on the skin and hair.
For each customer we serve, we start with a thorough assessment of the type of water the customer receives at the point of entry to their home. We study the taste, hardness, and how the water will affect the customer’s pipes, fixtures, and appliances. After the assessment is completed, we design a custom filtration system that will meet the customers’ needs and budget for the home, whether that be better drinking water quality, softer water for showering, or a system to stop the scale build-up on the appliances.
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
Filtration systems are installed by a licensed master plumber who will explain how the system operates and will establish a maintenance schedule for continued, satisfactory operation.
The three-stage water filtration systems are very popular among the residents of Darra because they help to eliminate the following three primary water quality issues residents have in the area: sediment in the water, chlorine taste and odour in the water, and traces of heavy metals.
Stage One: Sediment Filtration
In the first section of filtration, the sediment filter is used to catch and remove sediment like sand, grit, rust, and fine particles from the water. Inside the pipes, valves, and appliances, this can build up and cause blockages and premature wear from the sediment. By collecting sediment before it enters your plumbing system, this filter protects your internal pipes, fixtures, and water-using appliances from being damaged over time.
Stage Two: Water Softening
Hard water contains calcium and magnesium minerals that may create scale build-up on your shower screens, kitchen and bathroom taps, as well as inside a hot water system. A water softener will reduce the amount of these minerals that come into contact with the plumbing fixtures and allow for easier cleaning of the plumbing system. Additionally, softened water will enhance soap lather, make glassware cleaner and prolong the life of kitchen appliances, such as dishwashers and washing machines.
Stage Three: GAC/KDF Filtration
The final stage combines Kinetic Degradation Fluxion (KDF) with Granular Activated Carbon (GAC). The combination is an excellent option to reduce chlorine, heavy metals like lead and copper, and organic materials that are usually present in municipal water supplies. In addition to reducing these contaminants, it helps to limit bacteria from growing. Finally, this stage will make the water smell and taste great as well. It can be used for any application, whether a whole-house or under-sink system is installed.
