What kind of water filter do I need
This is one of the most asked questions there are in the water treatment world and that is What Kind of Water Filter Do I Need. Many people in the United States have problem water and it really doesn't matter if they have ground water (from a water well) surface water (from a lake river or stream) city water or rural water which may come any of the above or a private water well. In order to answer the question of what kind of water filter do I need we will first have to identify which contaminant is in the water.
Problem Water
Most people that have problem run into the challenge of determining which kind of contaminant is actually in the water though many guess or listen to the advice of a neighbor which is not always correct. For example a lady who lives near the Guadalupe River told me that her water well gets water from the river. I explained to her that she was misinformed and yet she still insisted though I am a licensed water well expert and not only have a license but must have continuing education classes each year. So then I had to show her by means of what is in her water and what is in the river water. Her water well had iron in it and left red marks on her trees and out buildings but the river water was always green and never stained the dock or boats in the river. After she saw the difference did she actually begin to believe me over that of her neighbor whom she thought knew what they were talking about. So I explained she needed an iron filter since we could tell that she had iron in her water but in addition to the iron she also had hard water. Now the difference is in this case that you need an iron filter to remove iron and a water softener to remove calcium or hard water. Find out the difference HERE
