Destin Water Treatment Solutions

We rely on the safety of the water that comes from the municipal supply. That water is drawn from a variety of sources before it runs through the main water line into our home. While chlorine is added for safety, the water isn’t exempt from potential contamination risks. Our Destin water treatment solutions are meant to provide additional protection. 

Royce Plumbing serves customers in Fort Walton Beach and throughout the Greater Panhandle Area from our Destin office. Call us today at (850) 706-7163 or reach out here online for a free estimate.

The Benefits of Water Treatment Solutions

Residential water treatment solutions offer numerous advantages that contribute to the overall well-being of households: 

• Safe Drinking Water: Treatment systems remove or reduce contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, chemicals, heavy metals, and pollutants that can be present in the water supply. 
• Better Tasting Water: Residential water treatment solutions purify the water and improve its taste. Removing impurities can greatly enhance the overall flavor and odor of the water. With purified and better-tasting water, the experience of drinking water becomes more enjoyable and encourages increased water consumption. 
• Home Appliance Longevity: Water containing high levels of minerals, such as calcium and magnesium—hard water--can lead to mineral buildup and scale formation in appliances like dishwashers, washing machines, coffee makers, and water heaters. Over time, this can decrease the efficiency and lifespan of these appliances, resulting in costly plumbing repairs or appliance replacements. 
• Eco-Friendly: Residential water treatment solutions are environmentally friendly. By using these systems, households reduce their reliance on single-use plastic bottles and minimize the need for bottled water. This helps decrease plastic waste, which is a significant environmental concern. 

Common Methods of Water Treatment

There are several ways different ways to treat water effectively, including the following: 

• Disinfection is a water treatment method that involves killing or inactivating harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites, present in the water. Chlorination, ultraviolet radiation, and ozonation are commonly used disinfection techniques. These methods effectively destroy or neutralize pathogens, making the water safe for consumption.
• Filtration can effectively remove sediment, suspended solids, organic matter, bacteria, and viruses. Common filtration methods include activated carbon, sand, and multimedia filters. Filtration helps improve the clarity, taste, and odor of water.
• Reverse osmosis is a water treatment method that utilizes a semipermeable membrane to remove dissolved solids, including salts, minerals, and contaminants, from the water. Water molecules are forced through the membrane by applying pressure, while impurities are left behind. Reverse osmosis systems effectively remove a wide range of contaminants, making the water suitable for various applications, including drinking and cooking. 
• Distillation involves heating water to create steam, which is then condensed into liquid form, leaving impurities behind. This method effectively removes minerals, heavy metals, bacteria, and other contaminants. 
• Ion exchange is a water treatment method that involves exchanging ions in the water with ions of the same charge from an ion exchange resin. This process can remove dissolved ions such as calcium, magnesium, iron, and manganese from the water, addressing hardness or high mineral content issues. Ion exchange systems are commonly used in water softening applications, ensuring better water quality for various domestic and industrial purposes.
