We understand the importance of having access to clean and safe water in homes. At Swift Plumbing & Heating, we’ve encountered numerous households grappling with water quality issues, from unpleasant tastes and odors to concerns about contaminants. We know that for many homeowners, the prospect of installing a whole-home water filtration system can be daunting, especially when considering the costs involved. However, we offer solutions available to fit a variety of budgets, ensuring that every family can enjoy purified water without financial strain.

This is an image of a water filtration system. The headline reads; Understanding water filtration for every budget.

The Importance of Water Testing

Before selecting a filtration system, it’s crucial to understand the specific contaminants present in your water. Water testing identifies impurities such as lead, bacteria, nitrates, arsenic, chlorine, and heavy metals. We can recommend the most effective filtration solutions tailored to your needs by pinpointing these contaminants. Regular water testing not only safeguards your health but also prevents potential damage to your plumbing system caused by corrosive elements.

Exploring Filtration Options for Every Budget

We believe that clean water should be accessible to all, regardless of budget constraints. Here are some filtration options to consider:

  • Faucet-Mounted Filters: These are affordable and easy to install, attaching directly to your faucet to filter out common contaminants. While they may not address all impurities, they offer a significant improvement over unfiltered tap water.
  • Countertop Filters: Slightly more expensive than faucet-mounted options, countertop filters provide better filtration capabilities and are ideal for renters or those unable to modify their plumbing systems.
  • Under-Sink Filters: Installed beneath your kitchen sink, these systems offer comprehensive filtration without cluttering your countertop. They effectively remove a wide range of contaminants and are moderately priced.
  • Whole-House Filtration Systems: For those seeking comprehensive water purification, whole-house systems ensure that every tap in your home delivers filtered water. While the initial investment is higher, these systems provide the most thorough filtration, addressing issues like hard water, chlorine, and sediment.

Making Filtration Affordable

We understand that the cost of advanced filtration systems can cause sticker shock. To make these solutions more accessible, Swift Plumbing & Heating is currently offering $75 off water softener installations. Water softeners are particularly beneficial in areas with hard water, preventing scale buildup in pipes and appliances, and enhancing the effectiveness of soaps and detergents.
