How to identify and treat the specific issues in your home's water supply
In short: Plumbing expert Richard Trethewey demonstrates a three-step process for selecting a water filter that addresses your unique water quality concerns, ensuring you don't buy unnecessary equipment.
To select an effective filtration system, you must first identify your specific water quality issues using a home test kit. After following the kit's instructions and reviewing the results, you can choose a filter designed to treat those specific problems.
Depending on your needs, options include granular activated carbon filters, sink-mounted filters, sediment filters, or water softeners. These can be found at plumbing supply stores or home centers.
