Water Filtration System Installation in Gatineau
Clean water is essential for health, but municipal water and well water can contain contaminants that affect taste, odor, and safety. A water filtration system gives you control over your water quality, removing unwanted elements and providing better water for drinking, cooking, and daily use. Plombier Gatineau installs whole-house and point-of-use filtration systems throughout Gatineau.
Types of Water Filtration
Whole-House Filtration
Also called point-of-entry systems, these treat all water entering your home. Every tap, shower, and appliance receives filtered water. Benefits include protection for your plumbing and appliances, filtered water for bathing (especially beneficial for sensitive skin), and one system serves the entire house.
Point-of-Use Filtration
These systems treat water at specific locations—under the kitchen sink, at the refrigerator, or in the bathroom. More affordable than whole-house systems, they provide targeted filtration where you need it most.
Reverse Osmosis
Reverse osmosis provides the highest level of filtration, removing up to 99% of contaminants for pure drinking water.
Common Filtration Technologies
Sediment Filters
Remove particles like sand, silt, and rust. Often used as the first stage in multi-stage systems.
Carbon Filters
Activated carbon absorbs chlorine, organic compounds, and many chemicals that affect taste and odor. Effective and economical.
Iron and Manganese Filters
Specialized media oxidize and filter these common minerals. Essential for well water with iron issues.
Water Softeners
Ion exchange softeners remove calcium and magnesium that cause hard water.
UV Disinfection
Ultraviolet light destroys bacteria and viruses without chemicals.
Choosing the Right System
The best filtration system depends on your water source (municipal or well), specific contaminants present (identified through testing), your water usage, your budget, and maintenance preferences. We assess your water quality and needs to recommend appropriate solutions.
