Advanced Filtration Systems and Technologies

Modern water filtration technology has evolved dramatically over the past decade, offering homeowners sophisticated options for improving water quality throughout their homes. We install and maintain various filtration systems, from simple sediment filters that remove visible particles to advanced reverse osmosis systems that eliminate microscopic contaminants at the molecular level. Carbon filtration effectively removes chlorine taste and odor while also reducing many chemical compounds that standard municipal treatment doesn’t address.

Whole-house filtration systems provide comprehensive protection by treating water at the point where it enters your home, ensuring every faucet delivers clean, filtered water. These systems typically combine multiple filtration stages, including sediment pre-filters, activated carbon chambers, and specialized media designed to target specific contaminants common in Garfield, Hackensack, Hasbrough, Lodi, Passaic, Saddlebrook, Edison Township, Hasbrouck Heights, Highland Park, and Woodbridge, NJ water supplies. The result is noticeably better water quality for drinking, cooking, bathing, and protecting your plumbing fixtures and appliances from damage caused by sediment and mineral buildup.

Water Softening Solutions for Hard Water Problems

Hard water affects approximately 85% of American homes, causing scale buildup in pipes, reducing appliance efficiency, and leaving spots on dishes and fixtures. Our water softening systems use ion exchange technology to remove calcium and magnesium minerals responsible for hardness, replacing them with sodium or potassium ions that don’t cause scaling problems. This process protects your water heater, dishwasher, washing machine, and plumbing system from premature failure while improving soap efficiency and leaving your skin and hair feeling softer after bathing.

Salt-free conditioning systems offer an alternative approach for homeowners concerned about sodium content in softened water. These systems use template-assisted crystallization or electromagnetic technology to alter mineral structure without removing beneficial minerals from your water. While they don’t technically soften water, they effectively prevent scale formation and provide many benefits of traditional softeners without requiring salt regeneration or producing wastewater during the treatment process.

Beyond standard filtration and softening, we offer specialized treatment solutions for specific water quality issues:

  • UV disinfection systems: eliminate bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms without adding chemicals to your water
  • Iron and manganese filters: remove metallic tastes and prevent orange or black staining on fixtures and laundry
  • pH neutralization systems: correct acidic water that can corrode pipes and fixtures while leaching metals into your water supply
  • Chloramine reduction filters: specifically designed for municipalities using chloramine disinfection instead of traditional chlorine

Our experienced technicians assess your home’s plumbing configuration, water pressure, and flow requirements to determine optimal system placement and sizing.

First Choice heating & cooling sent a very professional repair man named Angel who did an amazing job doing some electrical work to get my A/C unit working late on a Friday evening. He responded within hours and got the A/C up and running on this super hot day. Thank you Angel from First Choice in Metuchen, NJ! I highly recommend them!

We had Alex Dicrosta of First Choice come check our furnace today because it was leaking water when the AC was on. Alex diagnosed the issue quickly that it was a clogged pipe going from the water pump. He unclogged the pipe and confirmed that was the cause of the leak. Alex is extreme knowledgeable, friendly, and customer focused. He even checked the rest of the unit to make sure everything was working properly before he left. I will definitely request Alex the next time I need AC or heating service from First Choice.
