Well Water Filters: Tips and Tricks for Optimal Performance 

The key to safe and clean well water? A filter made specifically for your well! Every well has different filtration needs depending on where you live and your current well water/plumbing system! At Graydon Faulstick Plumbing, we have over 40 years of experience in well and water treatments, and we know how to help you get the most out of your well water filter. In this blog post, we’ll discuss some tips and tricks for choosing the right filter and how to achieve optimal performance.

What type of filter do you need?

When it comes to choosing the right well water filter for your home, it’s important to consider a few key factors. First, you’ll want to evaluate the specific contaminants present in your well water, which can vary depending on your location and the condition of your well plumbing. For example, if your well has a high concentration of sediment or rust, you may need a filter that specializes in removing these particles. On the other hand, if you’re concerned about microbial contaminants like bacteria or viruses, you may need a filter that uses UV or chemical disinfection methods.

Another important consideration is the size of your household and your daily water usage. A larger household with high water demand may require a higher capacity filter to ensure optimal performance and consistent water quality.

How often should you change your filter?

One of the most important factors in maintaining optimal performance of your well water filter is knowing when to change it. The frequency with which you need to replace your filter depends on a number of factors, including the quality of your well water, the type of filter you use, and the amount of water your household uses.

As a general rule, it’s recommended that you change your well water filter every 6-12 months. However, if you have particularly hard or dirty well water, you may need to change your filter more frequently. It’s also important to pay attention to any changes in water pressure or taste, as these could indicate that it’s time to replace your filter.

At Graydon Faulstick Plumbing, we recommend scheduling regular maintenance appointments with our well plumbing experts to ensure that your filter is functioning properly and to determine when it’s time for a replacement. Our experienced team can also recommend the best type of filter for your specific needs and water quality.

Remember, changing your filter regularly not only helps maintain optimal performance and water quality, but it can also extend the life of your plumbing system and prevent costly repairs down the line. Don’t neglect this important aspect of maintaining your well water system!
