2-Stage & 3-Stage Water Filtration Systems

3-Stage Ultrafiltration System Benefits

What does ultrafiltration mean? Ultrafiltration is a way that water is treated. It uses hydrostatic pressure and a fine sheet membrane to filter small particles out of the water. Water and small particles with low molecular weights pass through while it suspends solids and solutes of high molecular weight. During the first stage, water will pass through a sediment filter to remove larger particles, such as sand, dirt, rust, and silt. Not only does this first step make your water cleaner, but it also protects the unit from clogging and enhances its capabilities. The second step is where the water passes through a carbon block filter. This step will eliminate chlorine, which will improve the taste and smell. The third and last step of this process is where the water passes through a hollow fiber membrane, and microscopic impurities are taken out before the water reaches your kitchen faucet. It is an excellent filtration system, and your local plumbers would be happy to install it for you.

Ultrafiltration systems can filter matter as small as 0.025 microns. Did you know that human hair is 75-80 microns? That means that 0.025 microns are tiny, and the ultrafiltration system can filter these tiny particles out! Many choose this system because it can rid the water of smaller particles than microfiltration or a standard carbon filter. Ultrafiltration systems can filter out bacteria, protozoa, silt, colloids, smog, endotoxins, plastics, inorganic solids, silica, proteins, and viruses. No chemicals are being used to filter any material out, but you’d get consistently fresh clean drinking water. If you want this system, your East Rochester plumbers will gladly install one!

Due to how many contaminants are filtered out, the 3-stage ultrafiltration systems require maintenance. The membrane filters must be cleaned appropriately so they can continue to function. Thankfully, maintenance is easy! The 3-stage ultrafiltration system is placed right under your sink, so you won’t have trouble accessing it. Once you’ve had your system for six months, it’s time to replace the sediment and carbon block filters. All you need to do is pop the filter out and replace it with the new one. When you switch out the filters, ensure the cap is off the new replacement. After a year of having your system, it’s time to replace the ultrafiltration membrane filter. You must pop the old filter off and put the new filter in! Every time you replace any filters, flush your tank thoroughly to remove any natural carbon particles from the ultrafiltration system. Watts offers a one-year warranty from the original shipment date, and Pride Plumbing of Rochester provides a one-year warranty on the labor. If you don’t feel comfortable changing the filters yourself, call your licensed East Rochester plumbers. Our technicians are more than happy to help!

2-Stage LCV Filtration Water Filtration Systems

Safe water is essential for our health. If we're drinking water with contaminants, it could harm us and cause many unwanted diseases. With clean, filtered water, we can avoid illness. Another reason that clean water is imperative to our health is that it helps rid our bodies of toxins. It prevents disease while helping our systems stay clean. One way to keep the water clean is by using water purification systems. Your East Rochester plumbers have a variety of home water filtration systems for you to choose from.

Under the counter, water purifiers do an incredible job of keeping water clean by removing toxins and contaminants. They remove several substances, including VOCs (volatile organic compounds), PFCs (perfluorinated chemicals), mercury, lead, heavy metals, bacteria, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and disease-carrying pathogens. 2-Stage LVC filters were designed for homes, apartments, RVs, and the marine industry, where limited space and water quality are essential. They are placed directly under the sink so you can have a clean countertop and easy access. The other reason 2-stage filters are suitable for RVs and marine industries is that they work in lower water pressure situations. If you don't have high water pressure but want clean water, your local plumbers at Pride Plumbing have the solution for you.
