Before you install a water softener, it’s best to see if a pre-filter is necessary for the quality of water in your home. How do you know if your home needs a pre-filter? What characteristics in your water determine how your water softener needs to be installed? Butler Water Systems in Fairfield, OH, explains.

The first step in determining if a pre-filter is necessary for your water system is to have your water tested by a local water treatment professional. Once a complete water analysis is performed, you will know exactly what is in your water and what you need to do to achieve the best quality water for your home. A water filter will eliminate any contaminants, making your water safer to use.

A pre-filter is great for clearing up water that has been tainted with dirt and sediment. It can also help clean up other waste that might find its way into your system. Contaminated water can be harmful to you and your family, and may shorten the lifespan and functionality of certain appliances and fixtures.

Using a pre-filter together with a water softener will eliminate most contaminants and high mineral levels. Water softeners will not clear out your water, but the water filters will, giving you peace of mind that the water coming into your home is of the highest quality.
