Lowell Water Treatment Systems

Removing Impurities for Better Tasting Water & Improved Health

Our bodies are 60% water. Earth is 70% water. H₂0 is an integral part of life. Drinking, cooking, and cleaning all rely on this valuable resource. But what happens when the water in our homes is not as pristine as it should be? 

At A. Fagundes Plumbing & Heating Inc., we offer water treatment options in the Lowell area that will help you drink from the tap with peace of mind.

Water Treatment vs. Water Filtration

Water treatment and water filtration are often used interchangeably, but they are separate processes. 

Water filtration’s main job is to remove sediment, suspended solids, and other larger particles, including bacteria. Much of what is removed by water filtration can be seen with the naked eye. Filtration improves the taste, color, and purity of the water. Whole-house filtration systems are installed at the main water line and improve the water throughout the house. Point-of-use filters remove the impurities at a specific place such as the kitchen faucet.

As wonderful as water filtration is at improving water quality, the method has its limitations. Smaller particles can only be removed with a water treatment system. Water treatment addresses trace chemicals, minute organisms, and viruses that can make people sick. It does not remove larger suspended particles as a filter does. 

You may need a water treatment system if you notice any of these signs:

• Dry, itchy skin
• Change in hair texture/health
• Recurring stomach problems
• Discolored water
• Foul smells
• Stains on your clothes after washing
• The water has a heavy chlorine or metal taste
• Limescale buildup on appliances using water
•  can all be reduced when the water you use is as pristine as possible. 

Water Treatment Can Also Add Helpful Elements

Water treatment – also called water purification – for Lowell homes does more than remove the smallest of harmful substances. These systems also add beneficial elements to the water. For example, calcium can be added if the water’s pH is too low. Viruses can be killed by adding chlorine or iodine.
