Including filter system and high-performance Silver filter.
Silver can enter household water in tiny amounts from natural sources or human activity, including some industrial uses and plumbing parts. Because it usually has no taste or odor, the only reliable way to know whether silver is present in New Harmony homes is by testing your water. When test results indicate elevated silver, homeowners often prefer to treat the whole house so every faucet and fixture receives the same protected water and you can have greater peace of mind.
As a metal, silver behaves differently than typical chlorine or odor issues — it may be dissolved as ions or bound to tiny particles, and that influences treatment choice. The right approach begins with a water analysis to identify whether the source is the supply, household plumbing, or a treatment device. In New Harmony we recommend confirming your water chemistry first; once you know the form of silver present, selecting a system to reduce metals at the point of entry becomes straightforward.
For whole-house reduction of silver, a dedicated ion exchange filter is typically the single most effective option. Ion exchange media captures positively charged metal ions as water flows through, lowering the silver that reaches fixtures and appliances. This technology is chosen for dissolved metals because sediment or standard carbon taste-and-odor filters won’t reliably remove them. Installed at the main line for New Harmony homes, an ion exchange unit treats water used for showers, laundry and every tap.
To get the best performance from ion exchange, the system needs to be matched to your water’s pH, hardness and overall dissolved solids, since those factors affect capacity. If testing in New Harmony shows some silver is particulate, adding a prefilter will protect the media and extend service life, while the ion exchange stage provides the primary removal. Mr. Pure Water can size the system and set a maintenance schedule so your whole-home silver reduction stays consistent without changing how you use water.
