2 Stage Filtration System

A whole house 2 stage water filtration system typically consists of two stages of filtration designed to remove specific types of contaminants from the water.

The first stage usually consists of a sediment filter, which is designed to remove larger particles such as sand, dirt, and rust.

The second stage typically includes a carbon filter, which is designed to remove chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other chemicals that can affect the taste and odor of the water.

Some common properties of a whole house 2 stage water filtration system include:

1. Capacity: These systems typically have a capacity of around 100,000 gallons, which can provide clean water for a household for several months.

2. Flow rate: The flow rate of a whole house 2 stage water filtration system is typically around 10-15 gallons per minute, which is sufficient for most household needs.

3. Installation: These systems are typically installed at the point of entry of the water supply to the house, which ensures that all the water coming into the house is filtered.

4. Maintenance: These systems typically require regular maintenance, such as filter replacement and cleaning, to ensure they continue to function properly and provide clean water.

Compared to a 3 stage system, a 2 stage system may not have the specialized filter for removing specific contaminants like lead, arsenic, or fluoride. However, it can still effectively remove sediment and common water contaminants, providing cleaner and better-tasting water for the entire house.
