Question 1

What does a whole-home water filter remove?

Accepted Answer

That depends on the filtration media and the water being treated. Whole-home filtration can be designed to reduce chlorine, unpleasant tastes and odors, sediment, and certain other water-quality concerns. We test your water first so the system is matched to what is actually present.

Question 2

Will whole-home filtration remove chlorine?

Accepted Answer

Yes, properly selected carbon filtration can significantly reduce chlorine in municipal water. This can improve taste and odor and reduce the amount of chlorine reaching showers, faucets, laundry, and other fixtures throughout the home.

Question 3

Is whole-home filtration the same as a water softener?

Accepted Answer

No. A water softener is designed primarily to remove hardness minerals such as calcium and magnesium. Whole-home filtration is used for concerns such as chlorine, taste, odor, sediment, and other water-quality issues. Some homes benefit from having both systems.

Question 4

Does a whole-home filter treat every faucet in the house?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A whole-home filtration system is installed where water enters the home, so treated water is distributed throughout the plumbing system. That means filtration can benefit water used for bathing, laundry, cleaning, and everyday household use.

Question 5

How do I know which filtration system my home needs?

Accepted Answer

The right system depends on your water source and the specific problems present. Taurus Water Treatment starts with water testing, reviews your concerns, and recommends filtration based on your actual water quality rather than using a one-size-fits-all system.

Question 6

How often does a whole-home water filter need service?

Accepted Answer

Service intervals depend on the type of filtration system, the media being used, your water quality, and household water usage. We provide maintenance recommendations for each system we install and can also service many existing residential filtration systems.
