Water Softener
Do away with hard water, Halton – and you could say goodbye to soap scum, scale buildup and more.
Whether you have hard water or soft water varies from region to region and also varies depending on whether you are on a city or well-water system. But if you have soap scum in your sinks and bathtubs, as well as on your hands and hair, the problem could be hard water – the result of unwanted minerals in your tap water.
Hard water is also a culprit in scale buildup on plumbing fixtures and pipes, water heaters, dishwashers, humidifiers, coffeemakers, as well as spots on silverware, glasses and dishes. It could also reduce the effectiveness of soaps, shampoos and detergents and dull bright-coloured fabrics.
The solution is actually quite simple and effective – a water softener from Reliance.
A water softener can reduce the amount of soap you need to lather up, help maintain the appearance and function of plumbing fixtures, and provide better-feeling water when you’re washing or taking a shower.
Reverse Osmosis
Convenient at-the-tap water purification / filtration
Commonly referred to as ‘RO’, reverse osmosis is a process of demineralizing or deionizing water by pushing it under pressure through a semi-permeable membrane. Stored under your kitchen sink, an RO filtration system can be used to treat the water coming out of your tap, or the system can send RO-purified water through to your fridge.
The Quick Change Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System, offered by Reliance, runs your home’s water through a 4-step water filtration process. The water is then stored in a 3.5-gallon (13 litre) tank, so you have instant access to purified water when you need it.
With the Quick Change system, you enjoy:
- Purified water on tap that’s ready to go when you want it
- Removal of unwanted contaminants and minerals, including sodium that can impact taste and smell, as well as pesticides, chlorine, arsenic and detergents
- Water that’s more convenient and affordable than bottled water
- Purified water that’s available to rinse fresh foods for cooking
- Crystal-clean ice cubes – you can see and taste the difference
- The innovative QC twist and lock design that makes filter changes easy
Alkaline Filter
An under-sink alkaline water filtration system is like your home’s mini water treatment plant. It’s installed under your sink and works to help improve the purity of the water you use for drinking and cooking.
- Help to increase the pH levels in your drinking water.
- Help reduce impurities of your drinking water.
- Help reduce the use of single-use plastic water bottles.
- Help ensure consistent quality in every glass with advanced filtration technology!
- Help say goodbye to unpleasant odors and tastes in your tap water.
Whole Home Water Filter
Chlorine is an effective water disinfectant used by municipalities to eliminate contaminants from drinking water. While Halton has high standards for water treatment, chlorine can impact the taste and smell of your water.
A Whole Home Chlorine Filter, offered by Reliance, can help purify your home’s water supply, providing clean, odour-free water for you to drink and enjoy. Plus, because the filtration process happens right at your home’s water source point of entry, all the water in your home is filtered before it makes it through to your tap for drinking, cooking, bathing and washing.
Iron/Manganese Filters, eliminate the metallic taste, improve water clarity and odour, and reduce yellow, brown or black stains on plumbing fixtures, appliances and laundry. Iron and manganese compounds occur naturally in the groundwater of some areas; Water with excess iron/manganese can appear clear at first but then develop colour and cloudiness after exposure to oxygen. The oxygen causes both the iron and manganese to settle in rust-like particles at the bottom of drinking glasses or pitchers, and these substances can also affect the taste of water.
UV (Ultraviolet) Light Water Disinfection System
UV light water disinfection systems have become increasingly popular for home use. They offer a chemical-free way to help combat a wide range of micro-organisms by harnessing the power of UV light.
- UV light water disinfection systems use ultraviolet light to help kill bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens in water.
- They’re chemical-free.
- UV treatment doesn’t alter water taste, odor, or pH.
- Maintenance is low, requiring periodic lamp replacement and occasional cleaning
- Sediment filter to remove particles before UV treatment is included.
