Signs That Your Home Needs a Water Purification System
Ensuring your home's water is clean and safe is essential, but how do you know when a purification system is necessary—or when your existing system needs repairs? Thankfully, there’s more than one way to find out.
Watch out for these signs:
- Unpleasant taste or odor: If your water has a metallic, chlorine-like, or foul odor, it may indicate contaminants like heavy metals, bacteria, or high chlorine levels from municipal treatment.
- Cloudy or discolored water: Water that appears cloudy, murky, or discolored is a strong sign of potential contamination. Rusty water may suggest iron or manganese, while a milky appearance could indicate air bubbles or sediment.
- Frequent plumbing issues: Hard or sediment-laden water can lead to clogged pipes and reduced efficiency in your water-based appliances.
- Skin irritation and dryness: Water contaminated with chlorine, heavy metals, or other chemicals may irritate your skin or make it feel dry after showering. If you notice persistent skin issues, it could be related to your water quality.

What Are the Benefits of Whole-Building Water Purification?
Installing a whole-building purification system means cleaner, safer water from every tap, not just your kitchen sink.
Some of the top benefits include:
- Healthier drinking water: Fewer contaminants mean reduced health risks.
- Better appliance longevity: Clean water minimizes scale buildup and corrosion.
- Improved skin and hair health: Soft, contaminant-free water helps reduce dryness and irritation.
- Cleaner laundry and dishes: No more residue or hard water spots.
- Consistent taste and smell: Enjoy fresh-tasting water throughout your home.
If you're concerned about water quality throughout your entire building, a comprehensive purification system is your best option. These systems provide consistent filtration at every water access point and typically deliver far more effective results than smaller, single-use filters.
How Does a Water Purification System Work?
Water purification systems remove unwanted contaminants through a combination of filtration, chemical treatment, and physical processes. The system type determines which method is used, but most involve stages like sediment filtration, activated carbon filtration, and disinfecting agents such as UV light or chlorine.
These stages work together to eliminate impurities like dirt, bacteria, chlorine, and heavy metals, delivering clean water to your taps. Whether you use well water or rely on municipal supplies, these systems make your drinking and household water safer and more pleasant to use.
What Types of Contaminants Can Be Filtered Out?
Depending on your system, you can remove a wide range of harmful substances.
The most common water purification systems target the following contaminants:
- Chlorine and chloramines: Often added during municipal water treatment, these chemicals affect taste and odor.
- Lead and heavy metals: Aging infrastructure can leach toxic metals into your water.
- Bacteria and viruses: UV filters neutralize pathogens to protect your health.
- Sediment and rust: Mechanical filters remove particles that can clog pipes and damage appliances.
- PFAS and VOCs: Advanced systems can reduce exposure to synthetic chemicals and industrial pollutants.
We always recommend installing high-grade systems to maximize contaminant removal and ensure you get the best value for your investment.
What’s the Difference Between Water Softeners and Water Purifiers?
Water softeners improve water quality for household plumbing needs by removing hardness minerals, while water purifiers ensure your water is safe and healthy for drinking by removing various contaminants. Depending on your needs, you may choose one or even both systems to ensure the best water quality for your home. At Knights Plumbing, LLC., we specialize in the installation and maintenance of Pentair softeners.
How Long Does a Water Purification System Last?
Most high-quality water purification systems last between 10 and 15 years, depending on the type, usage, and maintenance schedule. Components like filters and UV bulbs need more frequent replacement, but the central unit—whether it’s a reverse osmosis system, UV purifier, or water softener—can serve your building reliably for over a decade.
Regular service and timely part replacements are key to maximizing the system’s lifespan. Knights Plumbing, LLC. offers professional maintenance plans to help you preserve your system and extend its lifespan. If your current system is aging or underperforming, we’ll be happy to assess it and recommend a cost-effective path forward.
How Often Should You Service a Water Purification System?
Most systems require filter changes every 6 to 12 months, annual UV bulb replacements, and at least one professional inspection per year. To make routine upkeep simple, Knights Plumbing, LLC. offers convenient service plans in addition to expert installation.
If your current system needs maintenance or immediate repairs, give us a call to schedule an appointment, and we’ll send a plumber to inspect your system and complete any necessary servicing.
