Many homeowners have legitimate concerns about their water supplies. If you’re worried that yours is unsafe to drink, has a poor, taste, or might be damaging your plumbing, Yellow Submarine Plumbing & Rooter can help. Our team offers whole-home water filtration in Sooke, BC. A custom filter can remove over 99% of impurities from your water. If hardness is a concern, you can add a water softening system alongside your filter or as a standalone solution.
"Super grateful that Chris came out to fix our shower drain. Initially thought to be a clog, the problem was actually to do with the mechanics of our drain, and Chris was quick to figure that out and find a solution! Thanks for the quick troubleshooting and nice service Chris. Would recommend this business and their services." Ruby H.
We offer whole-home water treatment systems. These can provide you with cleaner and softer water throughout your home. That includes all faucets and showerheads. It also means softer water for your water heater, dishwasher, washing machine, and other appliances. Water filtration systems are suitable for homes with wells and municipal water supplies alike. The only real difference is that systems for wells may have a sediment prefilter.
Point-of-entry systems attach to specific faucets or fixtures, and don’t purify all your home’s water. Whole-home water treatment systems operate between your water main and your home’s plumbing. Choosing a flow rate high enough to meet your household’s highest demand is crucial. Without it, you’ll experience low water pressure and other issues. Our plumbers will help you size your system accurately. Factors include the size of the home, how many people live there, and the fixtures and appliances you’ll run concurrently.
The other core concern is which impurities your water treatment system can trap or neutralize. Most systems have a sediment filter to trap particulates. The maximum pore size measures sediment filter effectiveness. Many filters will also have activated charcoal. It improves the taste and smell of the water while also absorbing gases and chemicals. You can also opt for a system with ultraviolet light. That germicidal light will neutralize bacteria, viruses, parasites, etc.
As mentioned, you can add water softening via a standalone system or integrate it with your water filtration. The most common water softener for residential use is salt-based. These systems use sodium chloride and exchange it with the calcium and magnesium in the water. Potassium chloride is an alternative. It’s more expensive in the long term, so we generally only recommend it if you must avoid salt as a health requirement.
Beyond flow rate, water softener concerns include tank capacity and count. When the system exhausts its current salt supply, it needs to recharge. In single-tank systems, this usually occurs overnight. If you overuse the system, you could be without softened water while it recharges. There are also dual-tank systems, which avoid this issue. One tank can soften your water while the other recharges.
Whole-house water treatment can provide you many benefits:
Reduced risk of illness
Less reliance on bottled water
Lower plumbing maintenance costs
Better water for drinking and cooking
Improved water heater efficiency and lifespan
