The Importance of Home Water Filtration and Purification

When you use the faucet on your kitchen or bathroom sink, you anticipate clean, healthy water to flow out. But even if the water appears clear, it may still carry toxic chemicals that pose a threat to your family’s health and well-being. A lot of people dislike the taste of polluted tap water and recognize the risks of drinking it. That’s why half of all American homes have either a home water treatment system (32 percent) or bottled water (18 percent) to make sure they have safe drinking water nearby. 

If you want to safeguard your family’s health, you may first think about continuing the bottled water route. But of course, this gets expensive soon. Plus, plastic water bottles that aren’t recyclable end up damaging the world’s waterways, disrupting the environment and wiping out marine life. 

Setting up a whole-house water filtration system is more cost-effective and better for the environment than using so much bottled water. It can also supply healthier water much more easily because you can get it directly from the tap. What’s more, whole-house systems provide purified water to your showers, tubs and plumbing appliances, helping you to capitalize on the benefits everywhereyou use water at home. 

Before installing a whole-house water filter, find out what’s in your water supply and how a Filtermax™ Superior Chemical Removal Filter can clear out unhealthy contaminants. Then, get in touch with Service Experts Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing to help you choose and install the ideal water filter for you. 

What’s in Your Water Supply? 

Water quality may differ by location, but some of the most likely contaminants are: 

• Heavy metals 
• Chlorine 
• Lead 
• Industrial chemicals 
• Disinfection byproducts (DBPs) 

Learn what could be in your water supply by entering your ZIP Code into the Environmental Working Group’s drinking water quality database. EWG files show that greater than 80 percent of utility water supplies in North America have tested positive for carcinogenic chemicals, demonstrating that legal water quality levels are not necessarily safe. 

Try Installing a Filtermax Water Filtration System 

The Filtermax Superior Chemical Removal Filter eliminates dirt, debris and dangerous chemicals from your faucets, furnishing you and your family with safe, sparkling water to enjoy. Here are the advantages of this system: 

• Sediment filtration: Cloudiness is a common sign of sediment in your drinking water. Composed of silt, sand, rust or clay, sediment is abundant and increases in the water main following heavy rains. While largely harmless, sediment will make your drinking water look and taste unpleasant. Filtermax includes sediment filtration to filter out solids from your drinking water. 
• Chlorine removal: Chlorine is vital to clean drinking water in urban environments like cities. Sadly, this disinfectant can generate hazardous chemical byproducts when it meets naturally occurring organic and inorganic compounds in the water. Some DPBs, such as trihalomethanes (THMs), are known to cause cancer. Filtermax eliminates these carcinogens to keep your family safe. 

• Safer, cleaner, better-tasting water: Guaranteeing safe tap water is the objective of adding putting in any water filtration solution. Besides being safer for your family to drink, filtered water also smells, tastes and looks better. No more lingering metallic or musty smells. No more earthy or chlorine taste. No more murky water swirling around your kitchen sink. Just clean-tasting, odorless, crystal-clear water. 
• Filtered water for every tap: Hazardous chemicals don’t just threaten you when ingested—they also absorb into your skin when you shower and cling to your clothing and dishes as you wash them. That’s why a whole-house filtration system is so helpful because it guarantees clean water from every tap. 
• No operating expenses or squandered water: Some whole-house filtration systems increase your electric bills. Others increase your water bills with automatic backwashing and flushing. Filtermax demonstrates that healthy water doesn’t have to include steeper utility costs. 
• Flow-through distributor: Depending on your plumbing system’s structure, you may need an upflow or downflow water filter. The Filtermax™ flow-through distributor features both designs to accommodate your needs. 
• 20-year manufacturer warranty: This is the best warranty in the water treatment equipment industry! With this coverage, you can be sure your investment will carry on providing clean, quality drinking water for a long, long time.
