Understanding Water Filtration
Water quality can vary widely across Michigan, especially between homes with city water and those with well water. Common issues include high iron and sulfur levels, lead contamination, chlorine, hardness, and chemical byproducts such as PFAS. These contaminants can affect everything from the taste of your drinking water to the efficiency of your plumbing and appliances.
A whole-home water filtration system addresses these issues at the source, delivering clean water from every tap in your home. Besco’s systems are designed to target specific contaminants through proven treatment methods such as oxidation, carbon filtration, reverse osmosis, and advanced cartridge technology.

Whole-Home Water Filtration FAQ
-
Which Contaminants Can a Water Filtration System Remove?
Different systems target different contaminants. Besco’s filtration products can effectively remove iron, sulfur, lead, PFAS, chlorine, chloramine, hardness minerals, and other impurities. We recommend starting with a free professional water test to determine which contaminants are present before choosing a system.
What Are the Long-Term Benefits of Installing a Water Filtration System?
Beyond clean, safe drinking water, filtration systems protect your entire plumbing system, reduce appliance wear, and eliminate the need for bottled water. Removing corrosive minerals and contaminants can also extend the lifespan of your water heater, fixtures, and pipes.
How Often Does a System Need Maintenance or Replacement?
Maintenance frequency depends on the system type and household water usage. Cartridge-based systems like the Pioneer™ typically last up to a year (or 100,000 gallons). On the other hand, oxidation systems like the Smart Water Plus Extractor require occasional media cleaning or recharging.
What Is the Installation Process Like?
Most residential systems can be installed within one to four hours, depending on complexity. Besco’s technicians handle everything, including assessing your plumbing, installing equipment, and testing water quality before completion.
