Do you want the peace of mind that your home’s water supply is clean and safe every day? Markool Heating & Cooling plumbing company recommends a dedicated water treatment system in Frederick, MD. Water quality can change suddenly and without notice. Testing your water today provides no quality assurance weeks and months from now.
A whole-house water filter does. It can eliminate nearly all impurities from your drinking water. Spending hundreds annually on bottled water will be a thing of the past.
"The Markool Heating & Cooling team did an excellent job with my system check up. Highly recommend the maintenance plan to make sure your system is always running at peak efficiency!"
Markool Heating & Cooling offers whole-home water treatment in Frederick. It’s a system that we’ll install after your water main, but before water reaches your home’s plumbing. That ensures that you’ll get clean water from every faucet. You’ll also get it for showerheads, toilets, dishwashers, water heaters, and other appliances.
Point-of-entry systems require a larger initial investment than point-of-use systems, such as canister filters. They tend to be less expensive over the life of the equipment, though. That’s because they can last decades, and filter replacement is generally cheaper too.
You do have to ensure that you get a high enough flow rate, which we measure in gallons per minute (GPM). This is why it’s very important to involve a professional installer early in the process. If the GPM is too low, you’ll have inadequate water pressure during high demand.
Basic water filters typically use activated charcoal exclusively. Home-wide systems generally include charcoal but don’t use it for primary mechanical filtration. They’ll often have a prefilter. This traps the largest solid particles and extends the life of the primary sediment filter. Pore size is an important consideration for sediment filters. The smaller the maximum pore size, the more the filter can trap.
The activated charcoal stage is very important for drinking water that tastes and smells great. It will adsorb substances that negatively affect smell and taste, meaning they will stick to the charcoal. In addition to very tiny particles, charcoal can also remove gases and chemicals. That includes fluoride and heavy metals, which can be present in high levels.
If you’re concerned about pathogens, you should add an ultraviolet (UV) light to your water treatment system. Even the best sediment filter can’t trap viruses and bacteria, which are too tiny. However, UV light will neutralize them before they reach your faucet.
Your whole-house water filter can neutralize many impurities.
Chloramine and chlorine
Pesticides and herbicides
Volatile organic compounds
Lead and other heavy metals
Parasites and other microorganisms
