Water Purification and Filtration

You have two core choices for water purification in the home: point of use (POU) and point of entry (POE). POU systems function for a specific tap or appliance, such as the kitchen sink or refrigerator. POE systems function between the water main and the home’s plumbing. We recommend whole-home POE purification systems that give you clean water from every tap and for every appliance. Whole-home filtration also gives more pleasant-tasting water from every tap in your home.

Most water purifiers have a prefilter, a sediment filter, and activated carbon. The prefilter traps the largest particles and protects the more valuable filter media. The sediment filter provides mechanical filtration. The activated carbon improves taste and smell while also adsorbing chemicals and gases. Sediment filters can trap some pathogens depending on their pore sizes. A UV germicidal lamp is even better, as it will neutralize over 99% of bacteria, viruses, parasites, and other microorganisms. Some systems are also ENERGY STAR certified.

Watch for the indications that you have water quality issues:

Discoloration
Faded Laundry
Dry Skin and Hair
Inconsistent Recipe Results
Unpleasant Tastes and Smells

Water Softeners

Calcium and magnesium are present in most water supplies. They can leave behind deposits, and that’s problematic if the minerals are present at a high concentration. There are a couple of options for water softener service. Anti-scale devices are effective at protecting particular appliances, including water heaters. Water softeners are POE solutions that protect the entire home and deliver an improved shower experience.

Water softeners function by exchanging magnesium and calcium with salt. This requires a tank full of salt-saturated resin beads that will need replenishing over time. Single-tank systems must go offline, usually for about two hours while you sleep. Dual-tank systems never have to go offline. That way, you don’t have to worry as much about overtaxing the system.

It’s crucial to monitor for the signs you have hard water:

Poor Soap Lather
Low Water Pressure
Rising Water Heater Costs
Spots on Glasses and Dishes
Scale and Soap Scum Buildup

I have used Dog House Heating and Air and Plumbing for more than a decade each time the service is exceptional the knowledge of the equipment outstanding service people very friendly. I would recommend them to anyone.
on the latest service Josh M. and Liberty W. arrive in a timely fashion and was able to complete a large home search for leaks and make repairs in the domestic water lines same day. Fantastic thanks Josh, Liberty and Doghouse heating and plumbing.

Response from the owner:Thank you for taking the time to write a review and for your kind words Mark. Noah, and everyone at Dog House, is always happy to help.

Liberty W worked alongside Josh; it's my understanding she's apprenticing with him. Like Josh, she was very friendly--both to me as well as my senior dog! She was very attuned to Josh's work, anticipating what he'd need. She also seemed to be the more computer savvy of the pair, lol!
I have no doubt she'll be a great plumber; she already seems well on her way!

Noah B was friendly, took time to explain the underlying problems with our furnace, and is providing estimates on replacement units to give us the information we need to move forward. Great service - appreciated his help and professionalism!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind words! We're thrilled to hear that Dan V provided fast, friendly service and got things resolved quickly for you. We'll be sure to pass along the praise—he’ll appreciate it! A little behind-the-scenes about us: Since 2000, our owner John and his wife Maria have adopted more than 23 dogs—many of them seniors or special needs—from both local shelters and out-of-state rescues. Along the way, they’ve also fostered and cared for cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, and hamsters. With that many furry friends under one roof, naming the company Dog House just made sense. 🐶❤️ If you’re interested, feel free to check out more about our ongoing animal rescue efforts here: 👉 https://calldoghouse.com/animal-welfare-rescue/ Thanks again—we truly appreciate your support and look forward to helping you again in the future! – The Dog House Team 🐾

He was very professional friendly and took the time to explain everything. The issue wasn't in his area of expertise, he immediately contacted another coworker and we are set up with another person from your company

Very professional experience having my furnace serviced from scheduling the appointment, to the confirmation text, email, and phone call from the technician with a more precise ETA. Particularly like the confirmation text which included a photo and some background on the technician and his experience. Many thanks, Noah, for your work and advice today.

Liberty and Josh were very professional.
They called 5 minutes out to let me know they were on their way,
Were on time and Respectful and even though they couldn't fix our problem did recommend someone who could.
It wasn't a free estimate.That would've been better. But Josh and Liberty were very nice.
