Sunnyside Plumbing Inc.
Water Filtration Services
Water often carries dirt, minerals, chemicals, and other impurities that can affect its taste and smell. Certain contaminants, like microscopic bacteria and organisms, may pose health risks. Sunnyside Plumbing offers water filtration services to purify your water, removing harmful impurities and enhancing its safety and flavor for drinking and daily use
Sediment Removal
Mechanical filters effectively remove debris like leaves, dirt, silt, and clay particles from water. Constructed from materials such as metal screens, fabric, ceramic, or paper, these filters target sediment that can impact water taste, though it's typically not harmful to health. Sunnyside Plumbing provides home water filtration systems featuring replaceable paper filters to efficiently screen out fine sediment, ensuring cleaner water for your household.
Reducing Minerals
Minerals like iron, calcium, and manganese are safe for health but can impart an unpleasant metallic taste to drinking water. These minerals may also cause stains on clothing during laundry and discolor porcelain or dishes washed in mineral-heavy water. Over time, they can build up in pipes, reducing water pressure and leading to plumbing issues. Sunnyside Plumbing, serving the Long Island area, provides expert solutions to tackle mineral buildup, ensuring cleaner water and reliable plumbing for your home.
Pathogen Removal
Ensuring clean drinking water is critical to protect against harmful bacteria and parasites. Giardia intestinalis, a microscopic parasite, can cause giardiasis, leading to diarrhea that may persist for up to six weeks. This resilient organism survives in the environment for months and can contaminate water through animal or human fecal matter. Similarly, cryptosporidium, another parasite causing comparable symptoms, resists chlorine and requires mechanical filtration. Sunnyside Plumbing recommends advanced micro-, ultra-, and nano-filters to effectively remove these pathogens, providing safe, clean water for your home.
Lowering Chlorine
Many municipal water systems rely on chlorine to treat drinking water due to its affordability, ease of use, and effectiveness against various bacteria and some viruses. While chlorine is an excellent disinfectant, it can leave water with an unpleasant taste and odor and may react with certain metals to form harmful compounds. Sunnyside Plumbing offers activated carbon filtration solutions to remove chlorine taste and smell, ensuring cleaner, better-tasting water for your home in the Long Island area.
Removing Dangerous Lead
Ingesting lead is toxic, making its removal from drinking water critical. Lead often enters water through old pipes or solder used in plumbing systems. Sunnyside Plumbing offers effective solutions like reverse osmosis, distillation, or specialized carbon filters to eliminate lead. For homes using well water, we advise annual testing for lead and other contaminants to ensure safety.
Pesticide and Chemical Removal
Prior to the 1940s, pesticides often contained heavy metals that didn't easily mix with water. Today, modern organic pesticides dissolve readily, increasing the risk of residue in drinking water. Sunnyside Plumbing provides activated carbon filtration systems to effectively remove pesticides and volatile organic compounds, ensuring cleaner, safer water for your home.
