After having your water tested for impurities, you may decide to install a point of entry outdoor water filter system. These units can vary in type and price depending on your needs. For most, a faucet mount filter isn't enough, and they need the entire household water supply filtered. When these units are installed, it will usually have to be done by a professional, unless you have extensive plumbing knowledge and experience. When having the system installed, find out what is needed for maintaining the performance of it. Filter cartridges may have to be replaced periodically, and other wear and tear signs to watch for. Keeping the unit running well will ensure clean, safe water coming into the home.
The system is installed at the point where the incoming water line connects with your home's plumbing system. You may have to run the water for a time to clear out any carbon dust or to prime the filter. These systems will remove contaminates before they reach your home, helping to keep your pipes and plumbing fixtures clean and free of corrosion. When mineral deposits collect in pipes, they can corrode, causing even more mineral deposits. The deposits in water heaters can cause damage to the heating elements and lower the efficiency of the heater, costing you money while continuing to run out of hot water. A point of entry outdoor water filter will pay for itself in money not spent on bottled water, and the damage saved on pipes and fixtures. It can also be a good selling point in the future.
