Boiling water is useful, but it doesn’t remove everything from your water.

🔥 The myth: Boiling water makes it completely clean.

💧 The reality: Boiling is effective at killing many harmful microorganisms, which is why it’s often recommended during boil-water advisories. But it does not remove most dissolved substances such as minerals, salts, many metals, or certain chemicals.

In fact, as water evaporates during boiling, some dissolved substances can actually become more concentrated in the water that remains (like PFAS).

That’s why boiling and filtration serve different purposes. Boiling is mainly used for microbial safety, while a properly selected filtration or treatment system is designed to address specific contaminants, taste, odor, sediment, hardness, or other water-quality concerns.

The best place to start? Know what’s actually in your water. Water testing can help determine which treatment or filtration option makes the most sense for your home. Annual testing is recommended for those on well water, while those on municipal water can refer their Local Municipal Water Report.

Have questions about your home’s water quality? We're here to help you understand your options. 🤓 💦

Got a plumbing list that keeps getting longer? 🗒️ We can help you knock it out 💪

This service visit included a new water heater installation, shower fixtures, and plumbing under the sink. Sometimes it makes more sense to take care of several items at once instead of scheduling separate appointments for every small project.

Whether your list includes a leaking faucet, aging water heater, drain issue, fixture replacement, garbage disposal, filtration system, or something else, our team can help work through it with you! Let's start checking things off ✔

💡Water treatment and water filtration are often used interchangeably, but they’re not quite the same thing. Water treatment is the broader category. It can include processes that change the chemical, physical, or biological characteristics of water, such as adjusting pH, reducing minerals, softening water, or disinfecting it.

Water filtration refers to a system that uses specialized media to capture or reduce certain contaminants as water passes through it. Depending on the system, filtration can help reduce sediment, chlorine taste and odor, fine particulates, and other unwanted substances.

Municipal water is treated by the city to make it safe to consume. Water filtration takes it a step further, to get rid of any byproducts left after water treatment, like chlorine, chemical byproducts, PFAS etc. Filtration makes water truly clean. 💦

Whole home water filtration system installed in the basement! Perhaps the best part about having one of these is the peace of that every single drop of water you're using is clean 😌 Here's what makes the filter we carry so special:

▪️The 10.0-micron pre-filter reduces larger particulates and contaminants to protect the Platinum cartridges. The Defender capacity is 150,000 gallons*.
▪️ The Sub-Micron Filter (0.2) filter reduces 99.95% of microbial bacteria and cysts like cryptosporidium, toxoplasma, giardia, and entamoeba that are resistant to public water disinfection and could cause health issues.
▪️ A proprietary blend of high-quality coconut shell-activated carbon block removes 99.95% of chloramine and chlorine that damages pipes and makes water smell and taste bad.
▪️Does not require electricity or a drain.
▪️Mounts on the wall.
▪️NSF rated for chemical reduction up to 120,000 gallons* for a 2-cartridge system.

*The Platinum System is available with or without polyphosphates as a hard water solution and scale inhibitor. Food-grade, FDA-approved polyphosphates treat and sequester hard water minerals such as calcium and magnesium, which can scale and corrode plumbing systems, fixtures, and water-using appliances.

We remain committed to addressing PFAS in the water supply with long-term removal measures.

Recent testing for PFAS in August showed that seven of the City’s wellfields exceeded the State Action Levels (SALs) and federal Maximum Contaminant Levels for PFAS contaminants. The water production sites include Water Stations 1, 3, 4, 8, 9, 14, and 15.

View sampling results at cityofvancouver.us/PFAS.

We are working to reduce PFAS below the SAL. Learn about our efforts to mitigate PFAS at cityofvancouver.us/pfasmitigation

There are all sort of contaminants/particulates that can make it into our water. Some common ones are minerals, which we want but not in excess. The rest, we can do without. Some common ones are:
▪️ sediment
▪️ chlorine
▪️ PFAS
▪️ chemical byproducts
▪️ organic compounds
▪️and more.

These can and often are present after water treatment, which makes the conversation about water filtration that much more important.
