How Often Should I Service My Water Filter?

How often should I service my water filtration system, why, and can a layman do it? This is a very common question for several reasons. With many DIY videos available on the web, it makes sense to fix things yourself if you can save a few bucks right? Not necessarily! We are always happy to support anyone who wants to learn and be proactive in maintaining their home.

Water is often overlooked when a health problem arises, but can leave long term effects with dire consequences. Lead can cause permanent brain damage in children. Arsenic and Radium have been linked to cancer. Lead service lines were banned from new plumbing systems in 1986 but the U.S still has old pipes especially in major cities which means that as the pipes age and corrode the lead leaches into the water and into your home. Take guessing out of the equation and drink water with confidence! Call us Today for a water test.

However there are some things that require more than a 6 minute video to achieve optimum results. When our filtration experts install a system in your home, that installation is backed by continuing education and weekly training classes.

Our technicians at C&C Plumbing and Wells Services are trained to listen, and problem solve most scenarios that occur in the field of water filtration, purification, softening, taste and everything else in between. So when the question about service occurs we recommend bi-annual filter checks and explain why.

Without getting too technical on this blog the layman's explanation goes like this: The longer a filter works without a fresh change means that it becomes less effective. Less effective means its no longer removing the bad guys like harmful bacteria and sediment. Our company highly recommends Impression Plus which is a Water-Right Brand whose filters are designed to treat a variety of water problems from city to well. Turbidex-Particle Removal is a high quality granular media that is preferred over conventional sand. Carbon- works on taste and odor, if those two are present its usually because of sulfur or chlorine. And the Acid Neutralizer is ideal for treating acidic water that can corrode your plumbing system.
