Fresh water in a NJ home

Having clean water throughout your home isn’t luxury, it’s a necessity. If you’ve been concerned about the quality of your water, or just want the ability to have the cleanest water possible in your home, you may want to consider the installation of a water filtration system. The experts at BZ Dependable Plumbing & Heating, Inc., can install just about any water filtration system around, but the one we specialize in is the whole house Krystal Klear water filtration system. This system is unlike any other water filtration product available for homes and businesses, and offers a number of benefits that you may not get with other types of whole home water filtration systems.

(201) 837-6700

WHAT IS THE KRYSTAL KLEAR WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM?

The Krystal Klear water filtration system uses two proprietary components to thoroughly clean your home’s water: a coconut-shell granular activated carbon and KDF-55. The device itself is about the height of a water tank, although much more narrow, and contains an electronic meter at the top, a distributor tube that runs from top to bottom, the KDF-55 filter, the granular carbon and at the bottom of the tank, the patented CyclonicRinse technology.

By removing chlorine and unwanted organic compounds from your drinking water the Krystal Klear Water Filtration & Electronic DeScaler can help improve your quality of life. The Krystal Klear Water Filtration & Electronic DeScaler can also help make your water safer, both for your health and the condition of your plumbing system. It accomplishes these goals by filtering out heavy metals, iron, lead, pesticides and more contaminants in your water. Removing these substances from your water helps protect you and your plumbing.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Water enters the tank through an inlet valve and is filtered through the KDF-55 layer and then the carbon layer. The two filters create a dual-action system that uses both absorption and oxidation to remove harmful contaminants from your water. The newly-filtered water at the bottom of the tank is then circulated back into your home’s water supply via the distributor tube.

BENEFITS

There are a number of benefits that the Krystal Klear water filtration system offers your home:

  • Removes VOCs (volatile organic compounds), chemicals, arsenic, poisons, pesticides, herbicides, solvents and MTBE from your home’s water
  • Removes heavy metals such as nickel, copper, mercury and aluminum
  • KDF-55 filter inhibits bacterial growth in the filter media
  • Doesn’t need a brine tank
  • Guaranteed no maintenance for the first 5 years thanks to the CyclonicRinse technology

At BZ Dependable, our Teaneck plumbers know that you need more than just access to water; you need to have access to the cleanest, purest water possible. With the installation of a Krystal Klear Water Filtration & Electronic DeScaler you can achieve that goal. Contact us today to schedule service.

Radiant floor heating is a wonderful option for heating your home. Though it has been rather slow to gain widespread use in the U.S., radiant heating is becoming more and more popular as it is brought to the attention of homeowners. Since it isn’t as well-known as other, more traditional systems like furnaces, a lot of people remain ignorant of how radiant heating actually works. Let us explain the way radiant floor heating is installed, how it works, and why you should care.

INSTALLATION

The installation of radiant floor heating begins with inserting water pipes into the subfloor of each room that needs heat. This network of water pipes is then connected to a central boiler. Occasionally, the pipes in each room will terminate in terminals, like iron radiators or baseboard heaters.

The big consideration when installing a radiant heating system is what kind of flooring would work best with it. Generally, stone, concrete, or ceramic tile is the most compatible with radiant heating systems. Hardwood and vinyl floors can work as well, as long as they are properly conditioned for it.

OPERATION

When the heat is turned on, the boiler heats and distributes water throughout the house. As the water flows through the pipe network, the heat radiates through the pipes and out into the room. The heat is transmitted between solid objects, often beginning with the floor and spreading upwards into furniture and other objects.

ADVANTAGES

Radiant floor heating has a great many advantages, compared to forced air heating systems. Water is a much better thermal conductor than air is. A room heated by a water-based system, like radiant floor heating, heats up faster and stays warm longer after the system turns off. Radiant floor heating also avoids one of the biggest pitfalls of forced air systems: duct leaks.

The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that forced air systems lose as much as 30% of their heat on average to duct leaks. Since radiant systems don’t use ducts, they deliver almost all of their heat to the desired destination.

Having proper drainage is just as important as a steady water supply, as without it we wouldn’t be able to utilize any of the water-using fixtures or appliances in our homes. Whereas in the old days, one would have to carry a bucket of water from a well and bring the wastewater back outside to drain, in modern times our plumbing system helps make any home cleaning, bathing, or cooking task move smoothly, even though many of us don’t take the time to think about it.

Because drains are so important to our homes, there are a couple of instances in which you will need new drain installation in Bergenfield. If you were to install a new appliance like a dishwasher or washing machine, you would need to add a drain to connect onto the sewer pipes. The other scenario is if your existing drain pipe were to become damaged and require replacement. For each of these instances, you may begin to wonder: how long will the process take?

Planning for Drain Installation

Well, that all depends on whether you choose an expert for installation. Professional plumbers can get the job done quickly, but will also have to take the time to choose the proper tools and materials, inspect the drain, and make sure it is installed properly.

The plumber will first have to check that your new installation complies with local codes. They must then determine the proper length and design of the pipe based on factors that help them to determine the flow rate, such as the amount of people in your home and how much water will go down the drain on a daily basis.

Furthermore, it will likely depend on the amount of digging and dismantling that will be required when replacing an older pipe. If it’s a lengthy piece of piping that needs replacement, the process could take several days. But don’t worry: plumbers will plan to make sure you still have operating plumbing in the meantime.

In general, it’s difficult to say how long your particular drain installation will take because it is contingent upon so many specific aspects. If you need drain installation in Bergenfield, call BZ Dependable Plumbing & Heating, Inc. to get a free estimate and a 100% guarantee on your new drain.

If you’ve ever noticed white or yellow-green mineral deposits around the faucets of your home, you may have a plumbing problem known as “hard water.” Hard water refers to a high concentration of minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, which may enter your pipes through the municipal water supply. While this is rarely harmful to your health, this problem may eventually lead to the need for premature pipe replacement.

Hard water can cause several problems for homes. Besides unsightly buildups around the faucets and in sinks, these minerals prevent soap from lathering completely, which means it’s difficult to wash and clean properly and you may notice residue on your dishes or in your washing machine. Furthermore, your water may have a strange taste to it. But while these inconveniences may only be a minor annoyance, the biggest problem occurs within your pipes.

Think of the flaky white mineral deposits built up around your faucets, and imagine that this problem is occurring within your pipes. As layer upon layer of minerals develop along the insides, water cannot flow through the pipes as easily, leading to reduced water pressure. As your water supply is kept pressurized, the change in pressure within your plumbing system may cause water to leak through the pipes, leading to the need for pipe replacement in one or more areas of your plumbing system.

The best way to prevent hard water from damaging your pipes is with water softenerinstallation. A water softener is a device that is attached to your water line. As hard water flows through the tank, the minerals are replaced with sodium ions. If you want better tasting water that won’t damage your pipes, call a professional for water softener installation.

If you let plumbing issues go on for too long, the problem will only worsen. When you have problems with your plumbing, or if you would like to speak to a professional about pipe replacement in Tenafly, get in touch with BZ Dependable Plumbing & Heating, Inc.

Our technicians have the experience and equipment needed to locate problems in your pipes and provide quality pipe replacement that will last for decades. Give us a call today!
