Water Purification Methods

No single water filtration or purification method will eliminate every type of inclusion in your water. Some filtration options are great at removing non-organic elements, such as the minerals and metals that cause hard water. Others don’t necessarily remove these inclusions but are great at targeting microbes like bacteria or viruses that might be present in our water.

This is why a water quality test is so important. When our team conducts one of these tests, we give you a clear picture of what we find in your water so we can then discuss what products are best for your home. Some products employ multiple purification methods while others focus on a single filtration style or improvement process. We work with you to help you choose the right system for your property, whether it’s a simple reverse osmosis system or a whole-home multi-stage purifier.

Common Water Problems

The Portland area is no stranger to water problems. In fact, our water faces some unique challenges compared to other regions throughout the country. While there are a variety of reasons, one of the most prominent is that so many homes and businesses throughout the region depend on private wells for their water supply. Wells are great for properties that do not have a water utility connection, but they’re prone to a number of issues that could impact your health as well as your home.
