Water Treatment Photo Album: Water Filtration in Lovell, Maine 04051

A homeowner in Lovell, Maine, contacted Maine Radon & Water Treatment seeking to improve their indoor water quality. Understanding the specific challenges in their water is key, so we started by conducting a thorough water quality test. The test results guided us in crafting a customized solution to address their unique needs. Step 1: Multi-Problem Solution with Sanitizer Plus 1.5CF Our initial solution involved installing the Sanitizer Plus 1.5CF system. This all-in-one unit targets various water quality issues commonly found in homes. Here's a breakdown of the installation process: Shutting Off the Water Supply: Safety first! We ensured the homeowner's safety by turning off the main water supply to the house. Locating the Installation Point: We identified the ideal installation spot for the Sanitizer Plus system, typically near the main water line coming into the house. Plumbing Connections: After carefully cutting the water line, we meticulously connected the inlet of the Sanitizer Plus to the incoming water line and the outlet to the outgoing line feeding the house plumbing. Leak-proof connections were made using plumber's tape and appropriate fittings. Drain Line Setup: The Sanitizer Plus system also requires a drain line to discharge wastewater. We connected a hose to the unit's drain outlet and routed it to an appropriate drain or sump pump. Electrical Connection: Some Sanitizer Plus models might require an electrical connection. If necessary, we would connect the unit to a nearby GFCI outlet to ensure electrical safety. System Startup and Testing: After completing the connections, we slowly turned on the water supply and meticulously checked for leaks at all connection points. Once satisfied, we tested the system's functionality and verified proper operation. Step 2: Enhanced Filtration with Axeon Filter One 50 GPD RO System For even more comprehensive contaminant removal, we also installed the Axeon Filter One 50 GPD RO system. This four-stage filtration process tackles a wider range of impurities: Pre-filtration: The initial stage typically involves a sediment filter to remove dirt, sand, and other coarse particles. Carbon Block Filtration: The second stage often utilizes a carbon block filter to eliminate chlorine, taste, and odor from the water. Reverse Osmosis: The heart of the RO system is a semi-permeable membrane that significantly reduces dissolved contaminants like lead, arsenic, and nitrates. Final Polish: The final stage frequently employs an inline post-carbon filter to provide a final polishing step, enhancing the taste of the RO-filtered water. We installed the RO system under the sink, following a similar process with proper plumbing connections and a dedicated drain line for the wastewater. Finally, we ensured the RO tank was properly filled and the system functioned as intended. By combining the Sanitizer Plus 1.5CF system and the Axeon Filter One 50 GPD RO unit, the Lovell homeowner can now enjoy exceptional water quality in their home.
