WHAT IS A HOME WATER
FILTRATION SYSTEM?
A home water filtration system is a
device or collection of devices designed to remove impurities and
contaminants from the water supply in a home. Unlike purification
systems that often use more advanced processes, such as reverse
osmosis or UV light, filtration systems primarily focus on filtering
out particles, chemicals, and other unwanted substances to improve
water quality.
Home water filtration systems work by
passing water through one or more filters that trap or neutralize
contaminants. They accomplish this through:
- Mechanical filtration – water
passes through a filter material with tiny holes that physically
block larger particles like sand, sediment, and rust.
- Chemical filtration – use
materials like activated carbon that chemically interact with
impurities in the water, removing or neutralizing them.
- Biological filtration – filtration
systems that use biological processes to remove bacteria, viruses,
and other microorganisms.
- Ion exchange – Water is passed
through a special resin material that exchanges harmful ions, such
as calcium and magnesium, with less problematic ones like sodium or
potassium.
TYPES OF HOME WATER
FILTRATION SYSTEMS
There are many types of water
filtration systems available to homeowners in Pomona:
- Whole house water filtration
systems are installed at the main water line and serve the entire
house.
- Under-sink water filters that
filter water at the point of use. Installed under the sink, they
typically combine sediment filters, activated carbon, and sometimes
reverse osmosis.
- Countertop water filters connect
directly to the faucet. They usually use carbon filters to remove
chlorine, taste, and odors.
- Faucet-mounted water filters are
attached directly to the faucet, They provide an easy and
cost-effective solution for improving water quality at a single tap.
ADVANTAGES OF

quality by removing a wide range of contaminants, including

substances like chlorine, lead, and certain pesticides, water
filtration systems help improve the overall health of you and your

convenient access to filtered water for drinking, cooking, and

purchases of bottled water.
- A home filtration system can save
money over time by reducing the need for bottled water and extending
