FILTER 001

Water Filters

Whole house filters are not terribly expensive, and they offer peace-of-mind when it comes to incoming water quality. We recommend the General Electric (GE) brand of filters; there are numerous filter media available that fit the GE housing.  Whether you want to filter sediments or reduce chlorine, ORMECO can provide a solution.

This filter was installed for about 3 months. As you can see, the filter on the right is saturated with mud and debris. The city water main feeding the neighborhood burst shortly after this filter was installed, releasing mud and sediment into the water supply lines. The filter on the left is new.

assembly

Plumbers should be qualified to solder and braze copper. The proper credentials are imparted by an employer-maintained program that uses qualified procedures. The Copper Development Association (CDA) and ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC), Section IX Part QB publish guidance for how these programs must be created and maintained.

Prior to installation, the new assembly is cleaned, inspected, and tested in accordance with Section 312 of the International Plumbing Code (IPC). These tests ensure the system will not fail or leak.

This is how a typical installation should. We use framing struts (in this case 1-5/8" steel) to support the new piping.
