Water Filtration and Purification Systems Compared

There are some important differences between water filtration and purification systems.

Water filtration systems remove certain impurities from water by forcing it through a filtration medium.

Water purification involves more advanced processes to remove organic microorganisms like bacteria and viruses from water entirely.

Home Water Filtration Systems

The water filtration systems we install and maintain include:

• Reverse Osmosis. This type of system uses a filtration membrane to screen and filter out water impurities. Water is forced through the membrane under pressure, removing multiple contaminants, including many minerals, chemicals, and microorganisms. These systems are an industry standard for effective filtration.
• Whole-House Water Filtration Systems. These systems filter all water before it enters your home’s plumbing system. They effectively remove sedimentary debris and chlorine from your entire home’s water supply.
• Faucet-Mounted Filters. These filters are affordable for filtering tap water used for drinking and washing dishes.

Home Water Purification Systems

Home water purification systems include:

• UV (Ultraviolet) Light Purifiers. These systems expose water to directed UV light that eradicates organic microorganisms like parasites, bacteria, and viruses. The UV light breaks down the cell structure of these organisms, leaving water purified without chemicals.
• Ion Exchange Systems. These systems chemically replace minerals that cause hard water with desired chemicals like sodium ions.
• Gravity Water Purifiers. A more cost-efficient purification system uses gravity to draw water through several filter cartridges that pull out various contaminants.
• Distillation Systems. These boil water and collect the steam, which is condensed back into purified water.

Water Filtration and Purification FAQs

Is it necessary to have a lab test on my drinking water?

Having a lab test performed on your existing water system is a good idea. Even when water does not show the typical signs of contamination — discoloration, bad taste, or strong odors — there can be dangerous microorganisms and other hazardous chemicals present. Elite Plumbing & Home Services can perform a comprehensive water test so you can make an informed decision about any necessary remediation.

Does filtered water cause mineral deficiencies in my diet?

Standard modern water filtration systems do not risk mineral deficiencies in most diets. The filtration process removes inorganic substances, and science has not found direct links between filtered water and vitamin or mineral deficiencies. Essential minerals and vitamins are primarily obtained through the foods we eat and not from drinking water.

Do I need to change the filters in my water filtration system?

You should change the filters in your water filtration system regularly. While replacing filters every 12 months is an acceptable rule of thumb, specific manufacturer recommendations could adjust that schedule. The volume that a system handles also has a direct effect on filter life. Elite Plumbing & Home Services will clearly explain the recommended maintenance schedule for the system you install.

Are water filtration systems needed for private well systems?

Water filtration and purification systems are essential for private well systems. Well water is more likely to contain lead, and health experts recommend drinking well water only if it has been processed through a certified filtration system. Well water also typically contains more organic pathogens than municipal water.
