Home Water Filtration System Information and FAQS

THEN CALL US FOR A RECOMMENDATION. In most cases we can solve your problem inexpensively and without air injectors or chemicals. Everything we use is top of the line in quality national name brand equipment. And remember you should NEVER use a water softener as an iron filter.

A: Do you know where your pressure tank is? It is usually the first thing that the water goes through after the well pump. We normally put an injector in the line right before the pressure tank. Then we hook up the electric line to the pressure switch that is usually on that tank or near it so that it turns our pump on when your well pump comes on. If you don't have a pressure tank, or if you want the pump installed at a different place than your pressure tank (and pressure switch) you need to add a flow switch ($190) to the application to sense when the water is moving through the pipe and then it tells your chem pump when to turn on.

If you have a 220v well pump you need a 220v chem feed pump. If you have a 110v well pump you need a 110v chem feed pump.

I hope this information helps you. Please feel free to contact me by phone at any time. The call is free.

A: Our Pyrolox filters are now featured on this page: http://budgetwater.com/pyrolox_filter.htm

You can find our Superior Terminox I.S.M. Filters here: http://www.budgetwater.com/iron_filters.htm

Pyrolox used to be our main technology for iron, sulfur and manganese treatment until we developed something even better which “Terminox” is. The fact is we were the FIRST company to offer Pyrolox on the internet as its main iron filter technology and worldwide. We used to be the ONLY true source with correctly applied technology as we developed it with unique flow rates learned from years of in field experience. Then other companies started trying to copy what we did in order to leach off of our business ideas. The problem is they never seemed to get the flow rate, flow controls and content right so the bad Pyrolox applications they had were making our proven technology seem the same, which it wasn’t. Many didn't even put the proper amount of mineral in to start with which meant those poor customers that bought those units would have to replace Pyrolox in a very short amount of time instead of the average of 15 years as ours would do... One company out of Ohio is notorious for getting their Pyrolox filters wrong. By not putting the entire mineral allowable in them they could afford to sell them cheaper, even though it was ripping off the customer. It is one of those companies that have to offer free shipping and ridiculous sounding guarantees to be competitive instead of just selling good equipment that is properly made and sized, and putting a superior control valve on instead of marginal piston driven valves... As we all know nothing in this world is truly free.

While those copycat companies struggled to catch up we were developing cutting edge NEW technologies, as we always have. Now we are the ONLY Company with “Terminox” and we have exclusive access to this highly effective technology, as we have constantly upgraded and originated this particular and superior technology. It is far more effective than Pyrolox units sold by those copycat companies in that it removes far more contaminants under a variety of different conditions and applications; and rarely needs more mineral added down the road. So if you want Pyrolox, we are the originators and still offer it, and we are better at sizing Pyrolox properly than anyone else... If you want the very best filter available you might want to consider the highly effective chemical free, salt free and maintenance free “Terminox ISM" filter. It is even more effective than Pyrolox most others are selling. It also has several minerals that normal Pyrolox units don’t have. It has a buffer agent to treat the Pyrolox mineral to keep in from being damaged in start up due to low pH concerns, particularly for those folks who forget to raise the pH before installing the unit if their pH is low. We also have new generation mineral in our Terminox that withstands higher operating temperatures than other minerals, and helps keep the mineral bed from becoming iron bound. Our new Terminox can work at far lower flow rates than the original Pyrolox as well. It also can work at higher service rates. And it is far more resistant to low pH problem water. Budget Water and Terminox, always on the cutting edge!

A: Absolutely not! We have never found a magnet or alloy or electronic coil of any kind that can pass any hardness test at all! Buyers beware of companies offering such gadgets and miracles. If they worked you could find them here as well. For more information about magnets and other gimmicks click HERE.

A: While we manufacture most of our equipment from scratch. We use only the VERY BEST premium national name brand components on all equipment that we sell. The same people that make equipment for most other PREMIUM brand companies make them for us as well. The number one and number two makers in the world are Fleck and Autotrol; we carry both and several other top brands as well.

A: You should virtually NEVER drink the water from a water softener! If the water is high in hardness then once it goes through the water softener it will be high in sodium. If it is not high in hardness then you did not need a water softener to begin with. DON’T drink water that comes out of a water softener. Even if it should be below the MCL for safe drinking water most people do not want unnecessary amounts of sodium in their drinking water. You don’t have to take our word for it either. Just take a sample of any water from a water softener that has high hardness going to it and take it to a lab to test for sodium and salt. The results will speak for themselves.

If you have a salesman in your home telling you it is ok to drink the water from a water softener and he is not telling you to either drink bottled water or use reverse osmosis as a drinking filter; it may be time to ask him to leave.
