Water filters for households .

Water filters for the home are an indispensable commodity for newly built houses. Especially for people who want to have high-quality water. When choosing the right water filtration system for a building (house, apartment, townhouse, condominium, or entire neighborhood), it is important to take into account that water can be used for many different purposes. From commercial activities to drinking and food production. Optimal water quality is required for each specific application. This can be achieved through appropriate water filtration systems. These systems generally fall into two main categories:

1. Systems which are installed at the water inlet place

In other words, it's the place where water enters your home. These systems are designed for domestic and household use. For example, heating systems, hot water production (gas boilers, air-to-water systems, etc.), taps, faucets, shower cubicles, washing machines, dishwashers, humidifiers, etc. These filtration systems are called water softening filters or iron removal filters. Water from these systems is usually suitable for daily consumption if the water providers are Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda, Šiauliai, Panevėžys, Palanga, Alytus, Marijampolė, and other cities water suppliers. Because their supplied water chemical composition has met the maximum permissible hygiene limits. However, further testing would be needed to determine whether water from individually installed boreholes or shaft wells meets the quality requirements. This can be checked by doing a water testwhich we can do for free, or you can have your water tested at any independent water testing laboratory.

2. Systems that are installed at a specific location where water is used, for example, in the kitchen.

When building in the kitchen, the drinking water system is usually installed in the kitchen cupboard under the sink. A hole is drilled in the tabletop for a filtered water faucet, or instead of a standard faucet, a three-way faucet can be installed to supply hot, cold and filtrated water all in one. An under-sink filter requires electrical wiring (socket), and a connection to the waste water (usually connected to the sink's water drain pipe). A connection to the incoming cold water is also required. This is done by installing a trident valve, of which one branch connects to the drinking water filter. Such systems are also called reverse osmosis systems. They ensure that water will be clean, safe and taste great! Read more about reverse osmosis here.

Water treatment requirements vary depending on how the water will be used. Regardless of the purpose, ensuring proper water quality is not easy. Without a proper assessment of what the water will be used for, it may become unsuitable for consumption or it may have to be used only for agricultural purposes. If you don't take into account when choosing a water filter that sometimes in summer you may want to fill your pool or hot tub with filtered water, you may have poor water in your house, as all the clean water you've prepared may end up in the swimming pool (for information on the working principle of water filters, click HERE). The filtered water in the house will only flow again after the filter regenerates, which usually happens automatically at night. Regeneration can also be forced by pressing the appropriate buttons on the filter valve, but from our experience, we can say that people who are familiar with the working principle of a water filter do not have such problems.

Water filters for a house are usually built in the presence of a municipal water supply, a borehole, or a well water. water.

Municipal water

Water coming from urban water supplies is usually already treated in the city's iron-removing treatment plants, but in some regions, even with a centralized supplier, the water quality indicators are not the highest quality, although they do not exceed the maximum permitted hygiene standards. Centralized water may be chlorinated as a result of treatment in treatment plants, but this is not normally the case in Lithuania. Iron rust can also be carried with the water, as it often still comes through old pipelines. Therefore, by having this type of water at your house it is usually enough to install a compact Borehole water often has iron, manganese, ammonium, and limestone in it. To remove the iron, it is necessary to determine what kind of iron it is. There are two possible options: mechanical filter with a cartridge filterwhich would remove rust from incoming water pipes.

Borehole water

Borehole water often has iron, manganese, ammonium, and limestone in it. To remove the iron, it is necessary to determine what kind of iron it is. There are two possible options:

The first one - the standard and long-used method of water filtration in the house - two-column iron removal filterwhich removes iron, manganese, bad smells (rotten eggs), and mechanical impurities from water. However, with higher organic content (permanganate index), the filter will not work for a long time or may not work at all. The filter's media becomes contaminated with organic matter, and the result is that the filter's media does not recover well during regeneration.

The second one - our company's unique offer of iron removal and softening filter. This filter is more expensive than a simple iron removal filter, but it not only removes iron, manganese, ammonium, and organics but also makes water soft (removes calx). Therefore, calculating the cost of installing iron removal and softening filters separately makes this option more attractive. This filter has only one disadvantage compared to standard deironer. It does not remove the hydrogen sulfide odor. To tackle this problem the installation of a separate filter housingwill be needed. The housing is fitted with a bad smell removal filter - KDF cartridge.

If your borehole water does not contain iron, high levels of manganese, or organic impurities, a simple softening filter for limestone removal is enough to have high-quality water.

Well water

The last source of water in the house is well water. In large parts of Lithuania, well water looks good at first sight - colorless, odorless, and tastes good. However, when such water is tested, it is often found to be contaminated by nitrites or nitrates, which children under the age of 18 and pregnant women should not drink at all. It may also contain lime, organic impurities from surface water, or bacteria. The solution for lime removal is water softeners. They remove the hardness of water (lime). If other elements are found in the water, the filter can be filled with additional water filter media, of which the amount needed depends on the contamination of the water. Anionite for filters Various technologies are now available to address different water quality problems. The most common description of these technologies is the term "water filter". Filters are categorized according to their application, i.e. the specific water problems they address. Each filter may differ in its principle of operation and design. Water treatment processes that can be done by our offered products: reverse osmosis at the place of water use will be needed. The osmosis system will completely purify the water and make it clean, safe, and tasty for daily consumption.

Each case is unique, so the final system setup should be adjusted to your specific needs and requirements. Our company offers a wide range of products that allow us to flexibly address each customer's faced challenges.

Water softeners for the home

Water-softening filters are essential equipment for anyone who wants to deal with hard water. Filters remove hardness elements (calcium and magnesium) from incoming water. These are the ones that start to clog up the plumbing and cause deposits to build up in household appliances. These filters work by Ion exchange principle.During this process ions of hardness are replaced by sodium or potassium ions. Softened water is mild and good for the human skin, clothes and is beneficial for household devices. By preventing the formation of deposits, water softeners increase the efficiency and durability of devices such as water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines. Water softeners are ideal for both residential and commercial needs. A water softening filter is a reliable solution for improving water quality, reducing maintenance costs, and increasing the overall comfort of water use at the house. Water-softening filters are essential accessories for those people who want to deal with hard water. Softeners remove the hardness elements calcium and magnesium from the domestic water. These elements are the ones that start to clog up the pipes and cause deposits to accumulate in household devices. These systems work based on the ion exchange principle.

Cartridge water filters for home

Cartridge mechanical water filters for the home are important components of water filtration systems, ensuring the purity and safety of your water! Designed for both residential and commercial use, these filters effectively remove impurities, contaminants, and unwanted particles, resulting in clean and great-tasting water. Water cartridge filters are available in different types. For example, sediment filters, remove dirt and rust caused by old pipes. Carbon filters, reduce chlorine, pesticides, and organic chemicals and improve the taste of the water. Reverse osmosis (drinking water systems) filters, mineralizers, and ionizers. KDF technology filters remove the unpleasant smell of hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg) from water. Whether you want to improve the quality of your drinking water or protect your appliances from sediment, cartridge mechanical water filters are a reliable and effective solution.

Water deironers for home

Water deironing filters work by oxidizing principle with air oxygen, a traditional method that has been used for decades. Because of the time-consuming nature of the iron oxidation reaction time, the air oxidation filtering method requires separate tanks to provide the necessary contact time between the water passing through the pipe and the air. This is the oldest known method for iron removal. It is used in large urban systems and in the private and manufacturing sectors. As it is the oldest method of water deironing, it has disadvantages. The disadvantage of this method is that this way of removal does not combat efficiency against organic iron. Using the latest technology, our company offers an innovative solution to tackle both organic and ordinary iron. Water iron removal filters that perfectly deal with organic and inorganic iron can be found here.

All of these technologies are important for improving water quality and need to be properly selected according to the characteristics of the supplied water.
