When it comes to ensuring the quality and safety of your home's water supply, whole house filter kits provide a comprehensive and reliable solution. Filtration Canterbury offers a range of whole house filter kits, each meticulously designed to address specific contaminants, thereby simplifying the complex process of choosing the right system for your needs.
Understanding Whole House Filter Kits
Whole house filter kits are integral to maintaining clean and safe water throughout your home. Unlike point-of-use filters, which only treat water at specific outlets like kitchen faucets or showerheads, whole house filters purify water as it enters your home, ensuring that every tap, shower, and appliance receives treated water.
This comprehensive approach not only enhances the quality of drinking water but also protects household appliances and plumbing systems from damage caused by contaminants.
Available System Models and Features
Filtration Canterbury offers four distinct system models, each tailored to remove specific contaminants that can be found in various water supplies. These models include systems for chloramine reduction, chlorine taste and odor reduction, lead reduction, and heavy sediment reduction.
Chloramines are commonly used as a disinfectant in municipal water supplies.
While effective at controlling harmful microorganisms, chloramines can adversely affect the taste and odor of water. Moreover, long-term exposure to chloramines may pose health risks. The chloramine reduction system from Filtration Canterbury is specifically designed to effectively reduce chloramine levels, ensuring safer and better-tasting water throughout your home.
This system uses advanced filtration media that target chloramines, breaking down these compounds and removing them from the water supply. The result is not only improved water quality but also enhanced health benefits for your household.
Chlorine Taste and Odour Reduction by water filtration.
Chlorine is another disinfectant widely used in water treatment processes. However, its presence in tap water can leave an unpleasant taste and odour, which many people find undesirable. The chlorine taste and odour reduction system is engineered to eliminate chlorine from your water, significantly improving its overall taste and smell.
This system employs high-quality carbon filters that absorb chlorine molecules, effectively removing them from the water. By doing so, it ensures that the water you drink, cook with, and bathe in is free from the unpleasant characteristics associated with chlorine.
Lead contamination is a significant concern, especially in areas with aging infrastructure.
Lead can leach into water supplies from old pipes and fixtures, posing severe health risks, particularly for young children and pregnant women. The lead reduction system from us is designed to remove lead from your water, ensuring it is safe for consumption.
This system utilises specialized filtration media that bind to lead particles, removing them from the water and preventing them from reaching your faucets. By addressing lead contamination, this system provides peace of mind and contributes to the long-term health and safety of your household.
Sediments such as sand, silt, and rust can enter water supplies, leading to cloudiness and potentially causing damage to household appliances and plumbing systems.
The heavy sediment reduction system is specifically designed to tackle these issues by effectively removing large particles from your water supply. This system incorporates multi-stage filtration, starting with a sediment filter that captures large particles, followed by finer filters that remove smaller particles.
By reducing sediment levels, this system ensures clear and clean water throughout your home, protecting your appliances and plumbing from wear and tear.
System Sizes and Configurations of filtration systems
Our whole house filter systems come in two different inlet/outlet sizes to accommodate various plumbing setups: 3/4-inch plumbing and 1-inch plumbed lines. This versatility ensures that the filtration systems can be seamlessly integrated into different types of residential plumbing configurations, making them suitable for a wide range of homes.
Whether you have a smaller home with standard plumbing or a larger property with more extensive plumbing requirements, We have a system that will fit your needs.
3/4-inch Plumbing
The 3/4-inch plumbing size is common in many residential properties. Systems designed for this size are compact yet powerful, offering effective filtration without taking up excessive space. These systems are ideal for homes with standard water flow requirements, ensuring that all water entering the house is treated efficiently.
1-inch Plumbed Lines
For larger homes or properties with higher water flow demands, the 1-inch plumbed line systems provide the necessary capacity to handle increased water volume. These systems are robust and designed to maintain high flow rates while delivering superior filtration performance. They are perfect for households with multiple bathrooms, high water usage, or those that require a more extensive filtration solution.
Each whole house filter kit from Filtration Canterbury includes several key components designed for efficient and reliable water filtration.
Depending on your specific needs, you can choose between ten- and twenty-inch housing. These housings are made from durable materials designed to withstand varying water pressures and environmental conditions.
The larger housings are beneficial for homes with higher water demands, as they accommodate larger filters that can handle greater volumes of water before needing replacement.
The kit also comes with a mounting bracket that ensures secure installation, keeping your filtration system stable and in place. This bracket is designed for easy attachment to walls or other surfaces, providing a sturdy base for the filter housings.
To ensure proper fit and function, each kit includes one set of filters and O-rings. The filters are specifically chosen based on the type of contaminants they are designed to remove, whether it be chloramines, chlorine, lead, or heavy sediments. The O-rings provide a tight seal to prevent any leaks, ensuring that the system operates efficiently without any water wastage.
Additionally, a filter wrench is provided to facilitate easy filter changes. This tool makes it simple to unscrew the filter housings, allowing for quick and convenient replacement of the filters when necessary.
Maintenance is a crucial aspect of ensuring the long-term performance of your whole house filtration system.
Filtration Canterbury makes this process easy by offering replacement filter kits. These kits are designed to match the specific system model you have installed, ensuring compatibility and optimal performance.
Each replacement filter kit includes filters that are specific to the system model, whether it is for chloramine reduction, chlorine taste and odour reduction, lead reduction, or heavy sediment reduction. The filters are easy to replace, minimizing downtime and ensuring that your water remains consistently clean and safe.
Regularly replacing the filters in your system is essential to maintain its effectiveness. Over time, filters can become clogged with contaminants, reducing their ability to purify water.
By following the recommended replacement schedule, you can ensure that your system continues to operate at peak performance, providing your household with high-quality water at all times.
By providing comprehensive kits, we make it straightforward to install new whole house systems or replace existing filters.
This not only ensures the effectiveness of the filtration process but also enhances the overall quality of your water supply. The kits are designed to be user-friendly, with clear instructions and all necessary components included. This makes the installation process quick and easy, whether you choose to do it yourself or hire a professional.
The user-friendly design extends to the maintenance process as well. With the filter wrench included in each kit, changing filters is a simple task that can be completed without the need for specialised tools or professional assistance. This convenience helps homeowners maintain their systems more easily, ensuring continuous protection against contaminants.
The Benefits of Whole House Filtration Systems
Whole house filtration systems offer numerous benefits that go beyond simply improving the taste and odour of your water. By filtering water at the point of entry, these systems ensure that every drop of water used in your home is clean and safe. This comprehensive approach provides several key advantages.
One of the primary benefits of whole house filtration systems is the significant improvement in health and safety they provide.
By removing contaminants such as chloramines, chlorine, lead, and sediments, these systems ensure that the water you drink, cook with, and bathe in is free from harmful substances. This is particularly important for households with young children, pregnant women, or individuals with compromised immune systems, as they are more vulnerable to the adverse effects of contaminated water.
Whole house filtration systems also protect your plumbing and appliances from the damaging effects of contaminants.
Sediments and other particles can cause wear and tear on pipes, fixtures, and appliances, leading to costly repairs and reduced lifespan. By removing these contaminants before they enter your home's plumbing system, whole house filters help maintain the integrity and efficiency of your plumbing and appliances
