Including filter system and high-performance Water Discoloration filter.
Discolored water is one of the most obvious issues homeowners notice — appearing as yellow, brown, red or even gray water from a faucet. In Franjo, those changes may be more noticeable after heavy rain or when plumbing work stirs up lines; they can come and go or persist. Even when the water meets safety standards, visible color makes it less appealing for cooking, bathing and laundry and can cause staining on sinks, tubs and fixtures.
Household color usually comes from familiar, non-mysterious sources. Rust from older service lines or a corroding water heater often produces orange to reddish-brown tints, while disturbed sediment can make water look cloudy or dirty. Iron and manganese in source water can create yellow-brown or dark tones and contribute to stubborn stains. Natural organic matter — tannins from leaves and soil — can also give water a tea-like coloration.
For most Franjo homeowners, the most effective single solution is a whole-house backwashing carbon filter. Carbon media targets many color-causing compounds, including dissolved organics that tint water, and it also improves taste and odor. The backwashing feature periodically flushes out trapped particles and prevents channeling, keeping the media working efficiently so you get clearer water throughout the home.
A whole-house backwashing carbon system is fitted at the point where water enters your Franjo home, so showers, washing machines and kitchen taps all see the benefit. It’s particularly useful when color is tied to dissolved organics or recurring tint that doesn’t settle. If your system picks up heavier grit or visible sediment, adding a sediment pre-filter ahead of the carbon protects the media and maintains strong flow. Mr. Pure Water can help select the right carbon media and backwash settings for your household’s needs.
