The Importance of Home Water Filtration and Purification

When you turn the faucet on your kitchen or bathroom sink, you expect clean, safe water to flow out. But even if the water seems clear, it might still carry toxic chemicals that present a risk to your family’s health and safety. A lot of people don’t like the taste of polluted tap water and understand the consequences of drinking it. That’s why half of all American families have either a home water treatment system (32 percent) or bottled water (18 percent) to make sure they have clean drinking water on hand. 

If you want to safeguard your family’s well-being, you may first consider going the bottled water plan. Sadly, this gets costly soon. In addition, plastic water bottles that aren’t recycled end up contaminating the world’s waterways, disrupting the environment and killing marine life. 

Setting up a whole-house water filtration system is more cost-effective and healthier for the environment than using so much bottled water. It may also provide healthier water more conveniently because you can get it right from the tap. In addition, whole-house systems provide purified water to your showers, tubs and plumbing fixtures, enabling you to make the most of the benefits anywhereyou use water in your home. 

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

What’s in Your Drinking Water? 

Water quality may differ by location, but a few of the most likely contaminants include: 

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

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

Try Installing a Filtermax Water Filtration System 

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

• Sediment filtration: Cloudiness is a frequent sign of sediment in your drinking water. Composed of silt, sand, rust or clay, sediment naturally occurs and increases in the water main following severe storms. While largely harmless, sediment can make your drinking water appear and taste unpleasant. Filtermax provides sediment filtration to filter out solids from your drinking water. 
• Chlorine removal: Chlorine is crucial to clean drinking water in dense cities. However, this disinfectant also adds dangerous chemical byproducts when it meets naturally occurring organic and inorganic materials in the water. A few DPBs, like trihalomethanes (THMs), are known to cause cancer. Filtermax removes these carcinogens to keep your family healthy. 

• Safer, cleaner, better-tasting water: Providing safe tap water is the objective of installing any water filtration solution. Besides being safer for your family to enjoy, filtered water also smells, tastes and looks better. No more lingering metallic or musty scents. No more earthy or chlorine taste. No more cloudy water swirling around your glass. Just clean-tasting, odorless, crystal-clear water. 
• Filtered water at every tap: Hazardous chemicals don’t just threaten you when ingested—they also absorb into your skin as you shower and stick to your clothing and dishes when you clean them. That’s why a whole-house filtration system is so worthwhile because it guarantees clean water from every tap. 
• No operating expenses or water going to waste: Some whole-house filtration systems increase your electric bills. Others increase your water bills with automatic backwashing and flushing. Filtermax illustrates that healthy water doesn’t have to include higher utility costs. 
• Flow-through distributor: Based on your plumbing system’s structure, you might need an upflow or downflow water filter. The Filtermax™ flow-through distributor contains both designs to accommodate your needs. 
• 20-year manufacturer warranty: This is one of the best warranties in the water treatment equipment industry! With this coverage, you know your investment will keep providing clean, quality drinking water for many years to come.
