1. When should I use a KDF-GAC filter?
Choose a KDF-GAC filter if you need to remove heavy metals, chlorine, and organic contaminants, improve water taste and odor, or if your water source has high chlorine levels. 2.KDF also prolongs the life of the filter against bacteria build-up. KDF media uses redox reactions to alter the chemical properties of metal ions in the water, reducing their ability to form scale. This helps prevent buildup on pipes and appliances. Click Here
2. When should I use a GAC filter?
Use a GAC (Granular Activated Carbon) filter when you need to improve water taste and odor, remove chlorine, and reduce organic contaminants such as pesticides and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Click Here
3. When should I use a Carbon Block Filter?
Use a carbon block filter when you need to remove chlorine, sediments, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and improve water taste and odor. It’s ideal for applications where finer filtration and greater contaminant removal are required, such as drinking water systems. Click Here
4. Will any Carbon Filter Reduce Fluoride?
No, standard carbon filters (including activated carbon and carbon block filters) do not remove fluoride from water. To remove fluoride, you’ll need a specific filter designed for that purpose suach as activated alumina Click Here
5. Can I reduce microplastics with a house filter?
Yes, a whole-house water filter with fine filtration, such as a 1-micron or sub-micron sediment filter, can help reduce microplastics from your water. For more effective removal, a combination of carbon block filters or an underbench reverse osmosis systems can be used, as they can capture smaller particles, including microplastics.
6. Which is better for treated town water?
For whole-house chlorine and chemical reduction, carbon block filters are typically better than other filter types. They provide more surface area and tighter filtration compared to granular activated carbon (GAC) filters, making them more effective at removing chlorine, chloramines, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other chemicals. If you’re dealing with higher levels of chlorine and chemicals, a carbon block filter with a smaller micron rating will offer superior reduction.
6. Why should I choose a Whole-House Water Filter?
Whole-House Water Filters provide comprehensive protection by removing impurities such as lead, chlorine, and sediment from all your water sources. This results in improved taste and quality of water for drinking, bathing, and household chores.
4. How long do Whole-House Water Filters last?
The lifespan of our Whole-House Water Filters varies from 6 to 18 months, depending on factors such as your water quality and usage. Regular maintenance will help ensure your filter operates effectively throughout its lifespan.
5. How much maintenance is required for a Whole-House Water Filter?
Whole-House Water Filters require minimal maintenance. Regular checks and timely filter replacements are necessary to maintain optimal performance, but overall, they are low-maintenance compared to other water treatment options.
6. How is a Whole-House Water Filter installed?
For optimal performance and warranty coverage, it’s recommended to have your Whole-House Water Filter installed by a registered plumber at the point where water enters your home. Our team can guide you through the installation process and answer any questions you may have.
8. Can I install a Whole-House Water Filter myself?
While it is possible to install a Whole-House Water Filter yourself, we recommend professional installation by a registered plumber to ensure the system is installed correctly and to maintain warranty coverage.
