The AquaBelle WH/S-165 Whole House Sediment Systems feature rust resistant tanks that deliver a 150 PSI operating pressure. Still, this whole house water filter can't remove some of the most dangerous contaminants.
Even if your local authorities claim that your municipal water is safe to drink, you should analyze your water quality reports to find out what type of contaminants it contains. Furthermore, although chlorine is used to kill bacteria and disinfect water, water can still pick up impurities on its way to your faucet. Plus, chlorine can form dangerous byproducts when it comes in contact with matter that naturally exists in water, which can represent a threat to your health. Therefore, this water treatment can turn out to be really dangerous, so serious measures must be taken. If you want to completely protect your family from the dangerous effects of water contaminants, you should opt for a whole house water filter. Depending on the type of impurities that you detect, you can opt for the AquaBelle WH/S-165 Whole House Sediment Systems, or a different unit that was designed to remove the exact chemicals that you have to deal with. Here are the main characteristics of the AquaBelle WH/S-165.
Design
The AquaBelle was designed to help you get rid of the chlorinated or metallic taste of your tap water. Therefore, you shouldn’t spend money on bottled water when you can get more advantages with a whole house water filter. Many people don’t know this, but water contaminants can be released into the air through steam during showering, so they can affect the quality of your indoor air, too, causing breathing problems and other inconveniences. Moreover, not only that this system can provide you with fresh, clean water for drinking and showering, but it can also reduce scale, protecting your plumbings, fixtures and appliances from mineral build ups. The best part about this filter unit is that it features an one-piece design for avoiding clutter.
Features
Drinking water is essential for staying hydrated and healthy, but when your tap water comes with impurities, you need to find a way to reduce these contaminants for getting safer and cleaner water. The AquaBelle WH/S-165 Whole House Sediment Systems feature a practical bypass that incorporates an inlet with a sample port, and a space saving turbine meter, so that they can fit even small homes. Furthermore, this device features four operating modes: the Meter Immediate, the Meter with Day Override, the Meter Delayed, and the Calendar Clock regeneration mode. Since it includes a NSF Certified electronic control valve with an effective seal, piston and spacer technology, the AquaBelle WH/S-165 can be truly trusted, as not all water filtering products on the market have a NSF certification.
Performance
Aqua Belle uses a proprietary filter media to reduce dirt, turbidity and sediment down to 10 – 20 micron. Suppoising that these are the only contaminants that you confront with, this water filter is great for your needs, but if your tap water also contains pollutants like herbicides, nitrates, herbicides, fluoride and other chemicals, you should consider a different device. Although the AquaBelle WH/S-165 Whole House Sediment Systems can do a great job in removing sediment, they can’t eliminate other types of pollutants, so you should analyze your water quality report before ordering them. However, unlike other filters, this device uses a small amount of water for backwashing, which can be translated into less water waste during the process.
Ease of use
Due to its user friendly display, the AquaBelle WH/S-165 can be easily operated. Furthermore, the LCD shows the time, the regeneration cycle in progress, and the remaining life of the filter. Since the controller is energy efficient, it uses less than $3.00 of electricity in 12 months, so you won’t have to worry about any additional costs. This product is backed by a 5-year warranty on valve, and a 10-year warranty on tank.
