What Is Water Filtration?

Water filtration is the process of removing unwanted particles and substances from water. It improves water quality by eliminating contaminants that affect taste, odor, appearance, and safety. In Temple Terrace, filtration is particularly important because the local water comes from 10 wells before treatment. We use various methods to filter water, including mechanical filtration, chemical treatment, and biological processes. Each method targets specific contaminants to ensure your water is clean and safe.

The goal of filtration is to create water that meets or exceeds quality standards set by regulatory agencies. This protects public health and the environment. Modern filtration systems can be installed from whole-house systems to specific fixtures like kitchen sinks. Clean water relies on scientific principles of separation and purification. Different contaminants require specific removal methods based on their physical and chemical properties. Mechanical filtration uses physical barriers like screens and membranes to trap particles. Chemical filtration utilizes reactions to neutralize harmful substances. Adsorption causes contaminants to stick to materials like activated carbon. For Temple Terrace water, multi-step treatment includes:

• Aeration (adding air to remove gases)
• Multi-media filtration (using layers of materials)
• Lime softening (reducing water hardness)
• Fluoridation and chlorination (disinfection)
• Corrosion control (protecting pipes)
