Every home deserves clean water, and one of the most effective solutions for cleaning a home’s water is installing a home filtration system. However, installing a home filtration system is a much bigger task than most homeowners expect, requiring several preparation tasks to ensure that your installation is successful.
If you’re considering a filtration system for your Las Vegas home, it’s crucial that you learn about the preparation tasks that you need to complete to make your project much easier and more effective. Find out how you should prepare to install a home filtration system and learn how you can get advice from a Las Vegas filtration professional.
Water Heater Prep
One of the first things that you need to do prior to your home filtration installation is to address your water heater. The water heater in your home can be a breeding ground for chemicals, contaminants and bacteria, and removing these items is one of your primary goals.
To completely cleanse your water heater, you need to drain it at least twice. This will flush water that has not been treated and will reduce the risk of contaminating your system. Drain as many times as you feel are necessary to make sure the tank is clean.
Other Cleaning Tasks
In addition to your water heater, you need to pay special attention to the washing appliances in your home. This includes your washing machine and your dishwasher.
First, you need to descale these appliances. Descaling involves removing hard mineral buildup from your appliance. The most effective way to descale is with a vinegar cycle. Fill the compartment for dishwashing solution or bleach with white vinegar and run a full cleaning cycle. This will remove both mineral and chemical buildup from your appliances.
Second, you will need to cleanse all the aerators in your home, including in your faucets, showers and washing machine. You can effectively clean your aerators using only vinegar and a brush. When your professional arrives to install your filtration system, have them check your aerators to make sure you cleaned them completely.
Sterilize and Disinfect
Another important preparation task before installing your home filtration system is to sterilize the surfaces in your home that are constantly exposed to moisture. These surfaces can include your shower doors, toilet bowls and the walls in your bathroom. Take special care to sterilize these areas before your filtration system installation occurs.
If your home uses a well as its water source, you will need to disinfect your plumbing lines before your filtration system installation. This can prevent contaminants reaching your faucet when you restart your water. Run bleach through your plumbing lines before your installation to disinfect them completely.
