At Vredevoogd, we know that water is one of the key building blocks of life. From helping household appliances run smoothly and maintaining hygiene standards to keeping us hydrated, ensuring that all homes and businesses can access the benefits of clean and safe water is therefore our key priority.
That’s why we’re on hand to install and maintain eco-friendly superior water filtration systems for both residential and commercial use. These systems get rid of harsh minerals and waterborne bacteria that pollute your drinking water, therefore preventing discoloration, strange odors, bad taste, and even plumbing system damage.
Our professional plumbers have been serving West Michigan residents since 1964, meaning that we have 50 years of experience in creating bespoke water treatment plans for your home.
Get in touch with the Vredevoogd team today and we’ll help you enjoy purer, fresher water with our range of tailored solutions, from installing a whole-house reverse osmosis system to simply changing your filters.
Water Softeners
Wondering why your water has been tasting funny? Fed up of dealing with low water pressure during a shower? Either of these scenarios could be the result of hard water, which is caused by a buildup of magnesium and calcium within your home’s water system.
Installing a water softener helps by removing these heavy minerals from the water supply, which can prevent some of the following issues:
- Blocked plumbing pipes
- Dry skin and hair
- Dishwasher glasses covered in a chalky film
- Clothing faded after being in the washing machine
- Leaking faucets
We’ll treat this problem before it causes damage to your home’s water-based appliances with a system that provides a constant supply of soft water, such as those with a second backup tank.
Iron Filters
Sulfur, manganese, and iron are notorious for leaving your water smelling and tasting metallic, while also staining clothes after they’ve been washed. Iron particles also carry dirt and other pollutants that contaminate drinking water and can be incredibly harmful to your health.
We often recommend whole-house iron filters as a way to catch small minerals and prevent them from passing into your pipes, helping to eliminate odors, preserve the quality of your clothes, and reduce damage to household appliances. These systems also feature a powerful and durable control valve to ensure that the filters can perform in even the roughest of water conditions.
Call us straight away if your water has a reddish-brown, rusty tinge, and we’ll visit your home to assess whether an iron filter is the most effective solution for purifying your water.
Backwashing and Non-Backwashing Filters
Backwashing filters are tank-style filters that remove contaminants like rust, chlorine, hydrogen sulfide, and sediment buildup from your water. This offers several benefits for your home, including maintaining a healthy water flow, reducing bad tastes and odors, raising the pH of incoming water, and preventing iron toxicity.
While these filter systems deliver an effective self-clean by reversing the water flow, we can also install non-backwashing carbon filters in properties where backwashing is restricted or not possible. This filter type requires a smaller amount of water to keep itself clean, therefore offering a cost-efficient way to prevent plumbing fittings and fixtures from corroding.
Our plumbing specialists here at Vredevoogd are happy to walk you through the benefits of both types of filters in more detail to help you decide which is best for your home.
Drinking Water Systems
Although tap water is the more environmentally friendly option, there’s sometimes no choice but to drink from a bottle when your sinks are giving off a strange smell or taste. Resolve this problem with customizable whole-house and point-of-use systems that allow you to ditch the plastic and enjoy fresh, crisp water straight from the tap.
Reverse Osmosis
Reverse osmosis systems are fitted with booster pumps to increase the quantity and quality of water produced within your home. The 5-stage system filters water at the molecular level, before it enters a final carbon filter to remove unwanted tastes and odors.
This generally makes them a popular choice for homeowners hoping to improve their water pressure, particularly when combined with a carbon filter or UV light.
Point of Use
Point-of-use systems also use reverse osmosis to remove contaminants from your water supply, but are connected to single fixtures, such as kitchen sinks. Although we generally recommend this type of filtration system for residential settings, they’re also a great option in commercial kitchens or office spaces that use one main water source.
Filters & Housings
Protect your reverse osmosis and water softening systems with high-performance filter housings, which fit around your filter cartridges or bags.
We can recommend and install a range of housings to help reduce costs and extend the lifespan of your filtration system, with options to suit both single faucet fixtures and higher flow applications.
