Water is essential to good health, yet many people do not consume enough water each day. The most common reason for this is because of the taste. Many water supplies get a metallic or heavy taste to them from going through the water processing plant. Groundwater supplies can have a funny odor or taste to them as well.
The solution? A water filtration system for your home or business. When you improve the taste and quality of your water supply, will you find yourself drinking more water and enjoying better health.
Types of Water Purification Systems
There are three common types of water purification systems that are used by professional companies that install purification systems. Each of these systems has its own benefits and drawbacks. Greensboro Water Office Supply will match you with the type of purification that meets your needs.
Filtration Systems
Filtration systems are the most common. These systems install a filtering system that the water flows through before exiting the faucets. These filters are designed to remove particles as small as a micron from the drinking water. This can clean the water and remove heavy metals and some odors. The drawback to this type of system is that you have to change the filters regularly to ensure the water stays fresh.
Salt Systems
By adding a special type of salt to the water filtration system, you can “soften” water and make it cleaner and more desirable to drink. Many people prefer the taste of softened water over any other kind. When you add this special salt to the filtration system, the salt pellets attract the metal ions in the water and release the sodium ions they contain to soften and clean the water. These systems require you to replace the sodium pellets on a regular basis. The one drawback of this type of filtration system is the increase in sodium in your water supply.
Reverse Osmosis
Reverse osmosis is a method of applying high pressure to the water as it goes through a special filter. This is one of the most commonly used filtration systems, especially for larger corporations. These systems do require occasional maintenance and will need to be installed professionally. If this is the right filtration system for your office, Greensboro water office supply can install the system into your business.
