When looking to improve the tap water in your Las Vegas home, you will encounter several options, including water softener systems, water conditioning systems, and water filtration systems. Understandably, it can become confusing as to what each system does and how it benefits your tap water. One frequently asked question is, “Do water softeners filter water?” Water softeners soften hard water but do not filter water. However, water filtration and water conditioning systems do filter water.

Contact Rain Water Conditioning for water softening, conditioning, and filtering solutions.

Water Softeners Exchange Calcium and Magnesium Ions

Water softeners address and resolve issues with Las Vegas’ hard water. Hard water causes scale build-up inside plumbing lines, fixtures, faucets, and appliances. It makes cleaning products, detergents, soaps, and shampoos less effective and will require using more. Hard water can also leave white spots and calcium build-up on dishes and countertops.

Water softeners use an ion exchange process to remove minerals, calcium, and magnesium from the hard water, thereby making it soft water. During the softening process, sodium or potassium is exchanged for these minerals. However, water softeners do not filter out bacteria, sediment, and other contaminants from the water.

Water Filters Remove Impurities Depending on Your Filter Type

To remove impurities from your tap water, you need to use a water filter. There are several different types of filters that do different things:

Sediment filters: Sediment filters remove larger particulates from drinking water, such as sand, silt, rust, dirt, and clay.
Activated carbon filters: Activated carbon filters remove chemicals from drinking water as the water passes through the filter while improving the smell and taste of the water.
Catalytic carbon filters: These use pressurized gas and carbon to remove chloramines from drinking water.
KDF copper-zinc filters: Copper and zinc are used in these filters, which are called kinetic degradation fluxion (KDF) filters. They help to prohibit algae and bacteria growth and to control the release of other microorganisms in the water. They also improve the smell and taste of drinking water and can help to increase the longevity of the water filtration system.
Calcite filters: Calcite filters help to address issues with the acidic and low pH of your water. They also remove iron and other metals from the water.

Most water filtration systems use a combination of different filters to address multiple issues. For instance, a whole house water filtration system could have a sediment filter, activated carbon filter, KDF copper-zine filter, and a calcite filter.

Reverse Osmosis Filtration Systems

Another type of water filtration system available for Las Vegas homes is a reverse osmosis system. Reverse osmosis pushes water through a semipermeable membrane and other filters to remove impurities from drinking water. It is the most well-rounded type of water filtration system because it removes the most impurities.

Why Reverse Osmosis Is the Best Water Filtration Choice for Las Vegas Homes and Businesses

Reverse osmosis can remove almost 100% of contaminants, sediment, and impurities from drinking water, including lead, mercury, iron, viruses, nitrates, and bacteria. The variance is about 0.01%. This means reverse osmosis filtration systems provide the most effective water filtration choice for Las Vegas homes and businesses.

Reverse osmosis water systems provide the best quality water for cooking and drinking. Even though the tap water in Las Vegas is safe for drinking, it can still contain chlorine. Chlorine alters the smell and taste of the drinking water. If you use Vegas tap water for cooking, like boiling pasta or making soup, or to make beverages, like coffee or lemonade, there can be a noticeable change in the taste compared to using reverse osmosis filtered water.

Water Conditioning Systems Soften and Filter Water

When you want to soften your water and also filter it, a water conditioning system could be the perfect choice for your Las Vegas home. A water conditioning system starts by filtering out the impurities, sediment, and other contaminants from the tap water. Next, it softens the water using salt. This “combo” system improves the smell and taste of the water, addresses hard water issues, and removes impurities for safe drinking water.
