Years ago, Long Island was known for having high quality water that was easily accessible to everyone. In the past several years, however, water quality has become concerning in the area. This has resulted in many homeowners looking into alternatives to using unfiltered tap water in their day-to-day lives.
We may use more bottled water to drink, have a filter system in our refrigerator or on our kitchen sink to have safer tap water to drink, but that doesn’t take into account all the other activities we use water. That can include bathing, washing our dishes, and washing our clothes… just to name a few.
One popular solution to all of this is having a whole house water filter installed in your home. There are many important reasons to consider this option – including to protect the overall health of your family – but what goes into the installation?
How Much Does It Cost to Install A Whole House Water Filtration System?
The cost of a whole house water filtration system can vary depending on the needs of the home and the expected water use. Tragar partners with both Aquasana and Plumber’s Choice Water to provide Long Island families with high-quality, affordable choices for their home’s whole house water filtration system.
Where Do You Hook Up A Whole House Water Filter?
As a whole house water filter is meant to filter through all the water in the home, the recommended hook up location is by your main water shut-off valve. Depending on how your home is set up this may be located in the basement or in a utility closet on the first floor.
It is also possible that a home may need a secondary water filter for complete filtration coverage. A plumbing professional like the ones we have at Tragar would be able to accurately assess your homes needs and connect the filter at the optimal location.
How Long Do Whole House Water Filters Last?
Every filtration system could vary slightly, and how much water you use is going to impact the longevity of your filter. After all, the filter is designed to collect impurities and as a result will clog up eventually.
If you tend to travel often during certain times of the year or have a summer home where you end up having multiple weeks in which no water is being used, that will change the longevity of your system. That said, a whole house water filter will likely last on average between six months to a year.
