When it comes to the drinking water in your home, a number of problems can arise. Water problems are often revealed in ways that are easy to see, taste or smell. Some are not as easily detectable, such as bacterial contamination that can make you sick. Determining the problem is the first step in ensuring you get the right type of water treatment device.
Most water problems can be taken care of with one or a combination of the following:
- Water Softener
- Sanitizer
- Ultra Violet Light
- Reverse Osmosis System
- Everpure System
Typically, a Water Softener or Water Sanitizer® will cure the vast majority of problems. However, many homeowners may want “Bottled Water Quality” and that is where the Reverse Osmosis, Ultra Violet Systems & Everpure will enter the picture.
