Enjoy Cleaner Water at Every Tap
Water issues cannot be seen with the naked eye, but they need a solution.Â
Â
Although Canadian Municipal water is treated before reaching your home, it still contains many contaminants that need to be removed before use in your home. Besides this, many Canadian homes use well water that is highly rich in iron, chlorine, sediment, sand, and bacteria.Â
Â
To remove all these contaminants, it is recommended to install the OAKS whole-house water filtration system to enjoy cleaner, healthier water from every tap.
Â
What is a Whole House Water Filtration System?
A whole-house water filtration system is a point-of-entry filtration system installed at the main water line that treats water for every tap.Â
Â
It uses multiple filtration stages to remove various contaminants from water.Â
Â

How a Whole House Water Filtration System Works
A whole-house water filtration system uses multiple filtration stages to remove impurities such as sediment, chlorine, chemicals, and microorganisms from the water. It is recommended to use filtration stages according to your needs. The following are some stages used in whole-house water filters:
Â
Sediment Filtration Stage
It is the first stage of a whole-house filter and is used to remove sand, dirt, rust, and debris that may have entered the water as it passed through the old, rusted pipelines of Canada.Â
It has very small pores that trap such particles, protect the next stages from clogging, and enhance the system’s efficiency.Â
Â
Carbon Filtration for Chlorine and Chemicals
Activated carbon filters are commonly used to remove chemicals, including chlorine added to municipal water to kill bacteria, which can cause a bad smell and taste.Â
Carbon filters are porous membranes that remove chemicals and chlorine efficiently, providing you with fresher-tasting, better-smelling water. Chlorine-free water is also proven to be gentler on skin and hair during bathing and to improve overall water quality.
Â
UV Filtration for Microorganisms
Some whole-house filters include UV purification stages for additional protection, removing microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses. It disinfects the water without adding any chemicals. It is more beneficial for homes using well water, where microbial contamination is more common.Â

If the available water is hard, it is recommended to install the OAKS two-in-one whole-house water filtration and softener system.Â
Â
