Water quality

Filtration

Sediment, iron and manganese removal, sized to your well’s actual flow rate.

What it is

Filtration on the Cape

Undersized filtration starves every fixture in the house; oversized filtration is money you did not need to spend and media you will replace more often than necessary. We size from the well’s yield and the test results.

FAQ

Filtration questions

How often does media need replacing?
It depends entirely on the medium and on how hard your water works it — anywhere from a couple of years to the better part of a decade. The expected interval for your system comes with the handover.
Will filtration reduce my water pressure?
A correctly sized system should not noticeably. Pressure complaints after an install almost always trace back to undersizing, or to a filter that is overdue for service.
Is filtration the same as softening?
No. Filtration removes particles and specific contaminants; softening deals with hardness minerals. Plenty of Cape houses need both, and the test tells us which.
