Excellent Water Filters at Affordable Prices

Water Filters

There are many types of filters.
  • Carbon filters (smelly water or sulfur odor)
  • Sand filters
  • Iron filters
  • Reverse osmosis
  • Chlorination

Carbon Filters

These filters are active carbon filters. Installed after the water softener, filtering the whole house of unwanted taste and odor.

They are designed to allow maximum contact between the water and the carbon, ensuring maximum absorption.

Carbon filters are very similar to a Brita water pitcher filter, however, this is filtering the whole home. No more showering in chlorinated water!

These filters take up to 99% of the chlorine out of the water and need to be replaced every 6 months to a year. If it is a sulfur smell (rotten egg) you are trying to filter, see information about sulfur smell and how we can treat it.

Sand Filters

This sediment filter is installed before the sprinklers and water softener, to protect everything from plugging. This filter doesn't need to be changed frequently, only flushed. A manual valve on the bottom of the filter allows for easy flushing.


Occasionally (5-10 years) the filter may need a thorough cleaning or replacement. This is depending on the water conditions. Installing the correct size filter will help ensure that no pressure loss occurs.

If a filter is too small or plugged with sediment, a restriction may occur, which results in a loss of pressure or water flow. For most residential applications, a 1" 100 mesh filter is installed.

The Northstar sediment filter is a little more expensive but is self-cleaning. It is a point of entry filter that can handle up to 35 gpm. It is effective in rinsing the loose particles from the filter's screen, maintenance free. The filter is a heavy-duty stainless steel screen, standard is 60 micron. The clear sump allows viewing, flow and sediment removal.

Iron Filters

Some water aquifers only produce water with really high iron contents. This iron content is too high for most water softeners to take out. In these cases an iron filter is strongly suggested.

Effective iron filters are the air injected filters. Iron needs oxygen to oxidize and fall out (precipitate out) into a solid. It is then run through gravel beds and filtered out. Every other day the iron filter regenerates and cleans the beds to ensure no buildup.
 
This filter doesn't require any chemicals or up keep on your part. It is a maintenance-free unit! The unit does include a smaller air compressor that is mounted close to the iron filter and both units require 115 volts of power to run.
