A well water filter is an integral part of the well system. This isn’t the same as a store-bought filter that you connect to the home faucet. The well filter performs a far more rigorous job of removing impurities from he groundwater. Here’s a breakdown of how it works and why it’s essential for Grapeview homes.
Water Testing
Before the well system and filter are installed, there is a preliminary testing done to examine the quality of the water. The test looks for traces of contaminants that erode water quality, such as but not limited to iron, calcium, and pesticides. The test also examines the water’s pH levels. The results will determine the type of filtration required.
Filter Installation
A filter is installed. Various filter models are available, but most work in stages to intercept contaminants. One stage is a sediment filter that removes debris like dirt and sand, which can clog the filter’s pipe network. There’s also a carbon filter that removes chlorine and other agents like pesticides and herbicides. Finally, there’s a filter for removing minerals like iron and manganese. While not particularly harmful, these minerals can have undesirable effects, such as causing soap scum on tiles and causing fabrics to fade.
Water Softener
After going through the intricate filtering process, the water goes through a water softener that uses an ion exchange process to reduce traces of hard minerals. This includes calcium and magnesium that can cause the water to harden.
UV Purification
The final phase is a UV purification process that kills harmful bacteria and microbes that can make the water unsuitable for ingestion. This stage is especially important if the water has tested positive for high levels of pathogens.
