Sediment Filtration

Sediment in your plumbing system not only sullies your drinking water but also clogs aerators in faucets, reduces water flow, and decreases the service life of your home appliances and water heater.

When the faucets in your Pennsylvania home deliver tiny particles of sand, soil, and rock along with water, it is time to consider a filtration system. Our experts at Murphy's Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning are ready to help.

In addition to maintaining, repairing, and installing sediment filtration systems, we assist customers with drinking water treatment, irrigation, and leak detection devices.

With years of experience in the water treatment industry, we are your trusted professionals for reverse osmosis, filtration, ultraviolet (UV) light systems, and water softeners in Broomall, PA, and surrounding areas.

Installing a Sediment Filtration System

Although sediment often is easy to detect in tap water, testing also will identify other contaminants in your water. Our qualified professionals will test your water and send samples to a third-party lab. The results will help us determine which water treatment system is best for your home.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends testing well water annually for total coliform bacteria, nitrates, total dissolved solids, and pH levels. The agency notes that a change in your water's taste, color, or smell is a reason for testing.

Murphy's Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning wants to make it easy for you to create a healthy home for you and your loved ones. That's why we offer convenient financing options customized to your budget and needs.

Identifying Sediment

At Murphy's Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning, we take a whole-house approach to filtering sediment from your water supply. We install the appropriate sediment filters where your water enters your home, blocking particles before they enter your water heater and faucets.

Our water treatment experts know what size filter will trap the sediment from your well or pipes. Filter ratings correspond to the size of the particles they screen out. For example, we offer cartridge-style filters that are rated 5 microns. That means they effectively screen out particles as small as 5 microns.

Repairing a Sediment Filtration System

If anything goes wrong with your sediment filtration system, or if it is not working as well as it should, call us at Murphy's Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning for an assessment.

You might benefit from installing a second filter at your kitchen faucet or near other water treatment systems, such as a water softener or reverse osmosis device.

Maintaining a Sediment Filtration System

Water treatment is a must to keep the filter working properly. A clogged filter can affect water pressure and lose its ability to remove sediment.

Check your sediment filter for excessive accumulation of rock, silt, and other particles every couple of weeks. Filter capacity, the amount of water you use, and the amount of sediment in your system determine how long the filter lasts.

If you prefer, Murphy's Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning can handle maintenance for you.

“On the suggestion of two separate friends, we called Murphy's to provide an estimate for a few plumbing jobs that needed attention: replacing an outdoor spigot, repair/replace our kitchen sink faucet, replace the garbage disposal unit, see what was causing a sometimes leaking issue from our tub upstairs through to our kitchen downstairs, and replacing the drain mechanism in our bathroom sink. Not only was Mike Rowe there first thing the next morning to look at each of these, he clearly determined what each needed, provided a detailed estimate, the option to purchase a contract (we did, which provided discounts to that day's work as well a walk-through annually to inspect plumbing throughout the house), and then was available to start the work right then. In a matter of hours, he had repaired and replaced all, always ready to explain each step. It has been such a pleasure to have these things working properly again! Thank you, Mike and Murphy's!”

“Service Technician Mike did a great job. Identified the problem and fixed it in less that an hour.”

The pipes for our shower were leaking, so they replaced some of the pipes and faucets in the shower. They also installed a shut off valve for the utility sink in the basement which was leaking a steady stream. It went very well from the beginning. The receptionist was wonderful and even indicated where I could find the best coupons for service. They were always prompt, and offered to cap the utility sink and other cost-saving solutions. They were even able to accommodate our schedule by coming on a Saturday.
