A La Crose Purification Pro Offers Advice On Drinking Water Filtration Systems
The sub-rock beneath our mineral-rich soil in La Crosse is primarily limestone, which can affect the hardness and quality of our drinking water. As a purification professional serving La Crosse and the surrounding Coulee Region communities, one of the most common requests we get is to install drinking water filtration and water conditioning systems. Today we're going to discuss a few of the drinking water filtration systems we recommend to our clients.
Point-Of-Use Systems
When we talk about point-of-use (POU) drinking water filtration, that means that the system provides filtered water at a single location. Two of the most common POU systems we install are reverse osmosis (RO) and canister carbon filters. Both types of POU drinking water filtration systems are good options for creating clean, clean, safe drinking water for your family.
Reverse Osmosis
RO systems are the gold standard for water purification and can remove up to 97% of total dissolved solids and contaminants from your drinking water, and is considered to be one of the most effective forms of water filtration. Many of the leading brands of bottled water you may drink now use reverse osmosis technology to produce their products. Installing a POU reverse osmosis system is a budget-friendly option that can pay for itself with the money you save by not buying bottled water.
Canister Carbon Filters
POU canister carbon filters remove large particles from your drinking water - along with specific contaminants like arsenic, lead, and VOCs. They're budget-friendly, chemical-free, and are often installed right under your kitchen sink. Canister-style carbon filters allow beneficial minerals to pass through their filtration, which does offer taste benefits.
Whole-Home Filtration
A whole-home drinking water filtration system treats water at the point of entry (POE) to provide clean, conditioned water throughout your home. A few of the different whole-home filtration systems we install include:
- Standard Carbon Filters - simple to use, reliable design, removes chlorine from drinking water
- Catalytic Carbon Filters - specifically prepared to remove hydrogen sulfides (rotten egg smell) and iron from well water or municipal tap water
- PFAS & Lead Removal System - this third-party tested system is certified to reduce lead and poisonous PFOA/PFOS chemicals
- Sediment/Cartridge Filters - capture and remove larger particles like dirt and sand, mostly used for well water systems
- Whole-Home Reverse Osmosis - a multi-stage system that removes 97% of contaminants
Each of these drinking water filtration systems is customized to meet the unique needs of your La Crosse area home or business. Because our water hardness and mineral content vary so greatly across our region (from about 10 grains per gallon in the north to as high as 18 gpg in the south) it's important to have a professional analyze your water quality, evaluate the issues you need to address, and make recommendations on the best drinking water filtration system to meet your needs.
