Including filter system and high-performance Aluminum filter.
Aluminum is a metal that can enter household water for several reasons: it can dissolve from soil and rock in source water or be introduced during treatment when aluminum-based coagulants are used. While trace amounts are often found, some homeowners in Union Park and the wider Orange County area choose to investigate and reduce higher levels to feel confident in their tap water. The only reliable way to know what’s present in your plumbing is to have your water tested.
Because aluminum doesn’t always change the taste or smell of water, it can go unnoticed without lab testing. Sometimes shifts in water chemistry cause cloudiness or sediment that reveals mineral content, but other times water looks and smells normal. Homeowners around Union Park — from Alafaya Woods to the UCF area — often prefer a whole-house solution so drinking, cooking, bathing and laundry use water treated at the point it enters the home.
For whole-house reduction of aluminum, a correctly sized reverse osmosis system installed at the point of entry is usually the most effective single-filter option. Reverse osmosis forces water through a semipermeable membrane that separates dissolved metals like aluminum from the water stream. Because aluminum’s behavior depends on pH and overall water chemistry, membrane filtration delivers steady performance across a range of conditions common to Union Park’s hard groundwater. A full system includes prefiltration to protect the membrane and maintain consistent flow.
A whole-house reverse osmosis installation acts as a treatment train where the membrane is the primary remover of aluminum. Ahead of that membrane you’ll typically find sediment and carbon stages to reduce fouling and improve water quality, and post-treatment options can make treated water more comfortable for everyday use in the humid subtropical climate of the Orlando area. Mr. Pure Water can help Union Park homeowners pick the right system size for their property and set maintenance schedules based on your water test so aluminum is reduced before it reaches fixtures and appliances.
