Felger Hart Residential Services
Water Filtration
Water Filtration Systems in Fort Wayne and Northeast Indiana
The appearance, taste, odor, and mineral content of your water can vary depending on its source and the plumbing through which it travels. If your water contains visible sediment, leaves stains, tastes unusual, or causes mineral buildup, Felger Hart Residential can help identify an appropriate treatment solution.
We install, repair, and maintain residential water filtration and treatment systems throughout Fort Wayne, Bluffton, Wells County, Allen County, and surrounding Northeast Indiana communities. Our solutions include whole-house filtration, sediment filters, reverse osmosis systems, ultraviolet treatment, drinking-water filters, and water softeners.
Because no single system addresses every water-quality concern, we begin by learning about your water supply, household needs, and the specific conditions you want to improve.
Signs You May Benefit From Water Treatment
Changes in your water do not always have the same cause. Testing and professional evaluation can help determine whether filtration, softening, or another form of treatment is appropriate.
Contact Felger Hart Residential if you notice:
- Cloudy or discolored water
- Sand, dirt, rust, or other visible particles
- Unpleasant tastes or odors
- Orange, brown, or green staining
- White mineral deposits around faucets and fixtures
- Spots or film on dishes and glassware
- Soap that does not lather or rinse easily
- Scale buildup in water-using appliances
- Changes in water quality from a private well
- Concerns identified through a water test or municipal water report
These conditions can have different causes, so selecting equipment based on assumptions may not solve the actual problem.
Water Testing and System Selection
Before recommending treatment equipment, our team considers whether your home receives water from a private well or municipal system and discusses the symptoms you have noticed.
When testing is appropriate, Felger Hart Residential can assist with the process and use results from a third-party laboratory to guide system recommendations. Testing can help identify which conditions are present and whether they should be addressed at a single faucet or where water enters the home.
We will explain the available options and help you select a system based on your water conditions, household usage, available space, and budget.
Residential Water Filtration and Treatment Options
Whole-House Water Filtration
A whole-house filtration system treats water as it enters your home, before it reaches faucets, fixtures, the water heater, and other water-using equipment.
The type of filter used depends on the conditions identified in your water. Whole-house filtration may be recommended to reduce sediment, unwanted tastes or odors, or other specific concerns throughout the home.
Sediment Filtration
Sediment filters capture particles such as sand, soil, silt, rust, and other debris suspended in the water. These systems are generally installed near the point where the main water supply enters the home.
Removing sediment can improve the appearance of the water and help prevent particles from collecting in faucet aerators, fixtures, the water heater, and other equipment. Filters must be properly sized and replaced or serviced as they accumulate debris.
Reverse Osmosis Systems
Reverse osmosis systems use a semipermeable membrane and multiple filtration stages to reduce many dissolved substances from drinking water. These systems are commonly installed under the kitchen sink and supply treated water through a dedicated faucet.
Reverse osmosis may be appropriate for households that want additional treatment for water used for drinking, cooking, and preparing beverages. The specific substances a system can reduce depend on its design and certified performance.
Drinking-Water Filters
A point-of-use drinking-water system treats water at a particular location, most commonly the kitchen sink. Depending on your needs, the system may use carbon filtration, reverse osmosis, or a combination of treatment methods.
Point-of-use filtration may be a practical choice when your primary concern is the taste, odor, or quality of water used for drinking and cooking rather than all water throughout the home.
Ultraviolet Water Treatment
Ultraviolet treatment systems use UV light to inactivate certain microorganisms as water passes through the equipment. These systems may be recommended for some private-well applications based on water-testing results.
UV treatment does not remove sediment, minerals, or dissolved substances, so additional filtration may be needed. Water conditions and proper maintenance are important to effective operation.
Water Softeners
Water softeners address hard water by reducing calcium and magnesium—the minerals responsible for scale buildup and many common hard-water symptoms.
A properly sized water softener may help reduce mineral deposits on faucets and fixtures, spotting on dishes, and scale inside water-using equipment. Water softening is different from filtration, so a softener may be installed alongside another treatment system when multiple concerns are present.
Water Filtration Installation and Repair
Felger Hart Residential installs new treatment equipment and services existing residential water filtration systems. Proper installation helps ensure the equipment has adequate water flow, drainage, electrical service, and space for future maintenance.
Contact us if your existing system:
- No longer improves the water as expected
- Produces unusually low water pressure
- Leaks around the housing or connections
- Uses filters more quickly than normal
- Displays an error or warning
- Has missed recommended maintenance
Our team will inspect the equipment and explain whether cleaning, filter replacement, repair, adjustment, or system replacement is appropriate.
Water Treatment System Maintenance
Filters, membranes, softener components, and ultraviolet lamps require maintenance at different intervals. The correct schedule depends on the equipment, household water use, and conditions in the incoming water.
Routine service can help maintain water flow, preserve treatment performance, and identify worn or leaking components. Felger Hart Residential can maintain your system and explain the ongoing care it requires.
Our Preventative Home Maintenance Membership provides a convenient way to stay current with routine plumbing and HVAC maintenance.
