Residential Treatment Systems
People across the country are becoming more educated about the problems of environmental pollution and water contamination, and nowhere is this education having more impact than in the home. Homeowners are now aware that their water supply may have impurities that can cause taste and odor problems, or worse, health problems.
While there are many ways that domestic water may be affected by contamination, most of the population experiences antiquated municipal water distribution systems, disinfection process byproducts (e.g., trihalomethanes), or contaminated residential wells. Encotech and CSEC offer a wide range of treatment solutions for the residential customer, addressing each of those issues, and more.
After water is treated at a municipal drinking water plant, it must travel through
a system of underground pipes known as the distribution system. In most areas, sections
of these systems have been around for many years, and an aged distribution system can lead
to contamination problems in household water supplies. Additionally, some residential
wells have natural taste or odors which are usually sulfur compounds (rotten-egg smell),
and most people want it to be eliminated.
Activated carbon is very effective at removing taste and odor present in water.
Encotech and CSEC offer point of use ("under-sink") water treatment systems for users who
have little but noticeable taste and odor problems. Under sink systems are usually attached
to the cold water line in kitchens or where drinking and cooking water is supplied, are
inexpensive, and treat only the water that is to be ingested. Simple in design, these
systems are connected with standard plumbing connections and can be ready to use in minutes.
Also, replacement activated carbon can be ordered and shipped to the homeowner,
and spent carbon discarded to local waste management. Encotech and CSEC point of use
systems are compact, efficient, easy to install, and require only yearly maintenance.
Give us a call to assist you in determining which one is right for you. For the homeowner whose residential well may be contaminated with potential carcinogens like MTBE, chemicals from leaking underground storage tanks, industrial waste, pesticides, or solvents, or who may have bacteriological contamination, we provide and install point of entry ("whole-home") water treatment systems.
Point of entry treatment systems treat all of the water that is to be used in the home. These
systems are only recommended for the household where there is a high likelihood of health risks
from water use, or where water contamination can cause damage to fixtures, sinks, and bathtubs.
Encotech and CSEC offer a full range of point of entry treatment systems that include the
technologies of activated carbon, ultraviolet disinfection, filtration, reverse osmosis, and more.CSEC personnel deliver and install the treatment system, and a certified plumbing contractor then connects the system to the household plumbing. These systems can be installed in about three hours, and will provide the peace-of-mind of knowing that your family is protected from harmful contamination. Additionally, Encotech and CSEC provide replacement equipment and spent media changeout services to ensure that the system is working efficiently in preventing pollution from reaching the home.
