When building a new house, we think about modern heating, electrical systems, or smart home systems. We often forget about one of the most important elements – water quality. It affects the lifespan of installations, household appliances, and heating systems, as well as the daily comfort of residents. A water treatment station, planned and installed already during the house construction phase, helps avoid many problems and ensures clean, healthy water throughout the building. Moreover, there is a growing trend to treat such devices as an integral element of a modern home.
Water quality – why does it matter?
The water we use daily at home has a huge impact on the health and daily comfort of residents, as well as the durability of installations and appliances. Hard water promotes the formation of limescale, which settles in pipes, fittings, and household appliances – leading to their faster wear. The presence of iron, manganese, or hydrogen sulfide, in turn, causes unaesthetic stains, an unpleasant smell, and a metallic taste in the water. Equally bothersome can be chlorine and organic compounds, which reduce the comfort of drinking water and preparing meals.
Importantly, these problems differ depending on the source – municipal water and well water require a different approach and appropriately selected treatment solutions. If you do not know which solution will be ideal for your home – take advantage of our water testing service and find out what is hidden in your water.
Thanks to the analysis, you can find out exactly what is in your water, and then choose filtration tailored to your needs – from softeners to iron removers and more advanced multi-stage stations. We will be happy to help you later with the selection of a device that will meet all your needs.
Why is it worth planning a water treatment station in the house design?
The installation of a water treatment station is best considered already during the house design. This allows for immediately allocating an appropriate place for it – where the main water connection is located – and ensuring convenient access to the device. This helps avoid costly modifications to the installation and additional work in the future.
More and more often, architects themselves suggest to their clients that they include a water softener as a standard element of boiler room equipment. This is particularly important because many heating boiler manufacturers require that the devices only come into contact with softened water – otherwise, for example, the warranty may be lost.
By planning the installation of a water treatment station already at the house construction stage, we can also take care of technical details in advance – e.g. a drain to the sewage system or an electrical socket for power supply.
Our offer includes various solutions tailored to the needs of new homes: from compact softeners that take up little space, to more extensive water treatment stations that ensure clean, tasty, and safe water from the very first day of use.
Main benefits of a water treatment station planned at the house construction stage:
- perfectly matched device – performing a water test will allow for a better match of the device to the needs of the house,
- easy installation – a foreseen and planned space immediately in the boiler room or utility room,
- cost savings – no need for later modifications of the water installation and reorganizing the space for the device,
- protection from day one – new installations and household appliances are protected from the first day of use,
- convenience for residents – clean and safe water available from the first day in the new home.
