Water Problems Equipment Options
It can be frustrating and confusing for buyers to sit through sales presentations where every salesperson claims that they have the best this, or the state-of-the-art that. Salespeople are naturally going to slant any information they give you to whatever equipment they have to offer. Some salespeople are knowledgeable about water treatment equipment, and some are not. Can you tell the difference? It's much of the same when looking online for water treatment equipment help or advice. There too, the information is typically being slanted toward whatever equipment is being offered. Unaware buyers can easily end up purchasing (locally and from online companies too) overpriced, improper, unneeded or inadequate equipment.
Ultimately, your buying decision comes down to a matter of trust, and that's where we come in. Doesn't it make sense to put your trust in people giving you information about water treatment equipment, who are NOT also trying to sell you equipment? Our unbiased advice provides the help and information you need to assure you find the right equipment, from the right company, and at the best possible pricing.

WaterPros4u is your best source for information and comparison for water softeners, water conditioners, rust filters, iron filters, whole house filters, drinking water filters, and reverse osmosis drinking water systems. While a water conditioner is typically thought of as a water softener, the term water conditioner can also be applied broadly to the many different types of water treatment equipment to be found. For all intent and purposes on this site, a water softener and a water conditioner will be the same thing. Water softeners and water conditioners come in many different categories that include single tank water softeners, twin tank water softeners, cabinet water softeners, demand regeneration water softeners, and automatic water softeners. Residential water softener and water conditioner capacities are measured in grains and are available in a wide range from just a few thousand grains to 80,000 grains. Proper sizing of a water softener or water conditioner depends on several factors, primarily the hardness content of the water, the anticipated daily amount of water to be used in the home, and flow rate needs based on your home fixture count. It is very important to not undersize or oversize a water softener or water conditioner. We at Waterpros4u can guide you through this complicated selection process with the promise of always having your best interest in mind and making sure the information you get is accurate, relevant, and unbiased.
Rust filters and iron filters are terms typically applied to equipment designed to remove rust and iron from water. Rust filters and iron filters are typically used in conjunction with a water softener or water conditioner as part of a complete water treatment system. Rust filters and iron filters would be used as the first step in water treatment, just before a water softener or water conditioner. Rust filters and iron filters have much slower flow rates than that of water softeners or water conditioners. Water softeners and water conditioners can remove various amounts of dissolved iron from water (depending on the features of the water softener or water conditioner), but not rust. Rust filters and iron filters use an oxidation (chemical or aeration) process to turn dissolved iron into rust particles, which can then be removed by a dense filtration bed. The dense filtration beds of rust filters and iron filters must be replaced and typically carry only a one year warranty. The filtration beds of rust filters and iron filters typically need to be replaced in the dealership shop, which can be quite expensive.
Whole house filters can include rust filters and iron filters, but many other filter medias as well. Whole house filters are designed to filter contaminants from the household water such as iron, rust, chlorine, nitrates, tannin, manganese, hydrogen sulfide, and odors. A common whole house filter for municipal water is a tank containing activated carbon or charcoal. A carbon or charcoal whole house filter is very effective for removal of chlorine from the household water. The carbon or charcoal media in this type of whole house filter can last for several years, depending on the size of the media tank and the amount of water being used daily. A whole house filter with carbon or charcoal media can also be very effective in removing foul odors or tastes from water.
Drinking water filters can come in the form of reverse osmosis drinking water systems, carbon filter drinking water systems, and distillers. Most drinking water systems are intended for point of use such as a dedicated faucet and/or a refrigerator dispenser/ice maker. Simple carbon filters are effective for taste and odor removal, but are limited in their ability to remove many of the contaminants found in drinking water. Distillers produce high quality water but because they are electric powered, can be expensive to operate. Reverse Osmosis drinking water systems are considered to produce the highest quality drinking water for the most economical price. Reverse osmosis drinking water systems can be simple under the sink units or units designed for drinking water (from dedicated faucets) in any room of the house desired. Whole house reverse osmoiss is possible in some situations but is extremely expensive to do.
