Water Treatment & Water Softener Installation in Edmonton

The type and degree of contamination in your water depends on your location as well as the quality of water treatment in your area.

Some common contaminants include heavy metals such as iron or lead; microbes such as bacteria and viruses; chlorine, which is typically used to treat your local water supply; dissolved substances such as sodium and calcium; and other potentially harmful substances such as arsenic, pesticides and nitrates.

Whole-home and under-the-sink water filtration systems are designed to reduce or remove most of these substances. Ask your installer for details on specific water filters and their capabilities.

There are a number of signs that may indicate hard water. If you're noticing a buildup of sediment or soap scum in your sink, shower or bath, that laundry and dishes require more detergent to clean, or if you're going through more soap and shampoo than usual, hard water may be the cause.

During your free in-home consultation, our Installer will conduct a water test to determine whether you have hard water.

Generally, a water softener needs to be refilled with salt every 6 months, while carbon water filters should be replaced every 1–2 years. For a reverse osmosis system, the membrane filter should typically be replaced once or twice a year.

The lifespan of your whole-home water filter or water softener depends on your water usage, local water quality, and, in the case of water softeners, the mineral content in your water.

A water softener uses a small amount of salt to remove minerals such as calcium and magnesium from your water, then passes the treated water through a filter before it enters your home's water supply.

Water softener installation doesn't add anything harmful to your drinking water and is completely safe for everyday use.

Once your water softener installer has completed the installation and activated the system, it typically takes about 20–30 minutes for the tank to fill with enough water for use throughout your home.

A whole-home water softener can help reduce existing scale buildup that has accumulated inside your home's pipes.

Water softener installation also helps prevent future buildup by reducing minerals such as calcium and magnesium in your home's water supply.

While it may be possible to install a water purification system yourself with moderate plumbing skills and experience, there are significant benefits to professional installation.

Our professional water filter and water softener installers have the expertise to complete the job correctly and provide the standard 1-year product and labour warranty available with professional installation.

Whole-home and under-the-sink systems connected directly to your plumbing provide greater convenience and broader protection than many off-the-shelf products.

While most countertop or pitcher filters are designed primarily to improve drinking water, home water filtration systems and water softeners treat your home's entire water supply and typically remove a wider range of contaminants.

Depending on the water filter or water softener you choose, as well as factors unique to your home's plumbing and water supply, there may be some effect on water pressure.

If water pressure has been a concern, your Installer will help you choose the right water treatment system to maximize flow and maintain the highest possible water pressure throughout your home.
