Water Filter Services in Newberg and Beyond

Water filters are excellent for water treatment, especially when installed alongside water softeners. Water filters remove sediments from the water, catching large particles. Although filters can work differently based on type, many use copper-zinc and mineral stone to eliminate chlorine and help prevent bacteria and algae growth. They also use a carbon filter to reduce the presence of pesticides and other chemicals. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Newberg recommends whole-house water filters directly connecting to your main water line. Depending on the type, water filters can be customizable to meet different needs.

Both water filters and water purifiers remove impurities in your water, although they do so at different levels. Water filters are similar to water purifiers; however, water purifiers kill biological contaminants in addition to removing sediments and chemicals. Water purifiers also require remineralization after processing. Plus, certain kinds of water purifiers don’t remove larger sediment - in which case a water filter would be an essential addition.

Water Filters use a physical barrier to remove impurities from your water, such as sediments, chemicals, bacteria, and toxins. The barrier, or filter, allows only water to pass, leaving improved taste, odor, and clarity. Popular water filter systems for your home include whole-house, countertop, and under-sink filters.

Water Purifiers kill biological contaminants and remove minerals and are often used in addition to water filters. Instead of a physical method, water purifiers use chemicals or UV to treat water through reverse osmosis, distillation, or UV light treatment. It is important to note that water purifiers can remove all minerals from the water, including healthy ones such as calcium and iron.
