The Importance of Home Water Filtration and Purification

When you use the faucet on your kitchen or bathroom sink, you anticipate clean, safe water to flow out. But even if the water appears clear, it might still contain 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 risk of drinking it. That’s why half of all American households have either a home water treatment system (32 percent) or bottled water (18 percent) to make sure they have clean drinking water nearby. 

If you want to ensure your family’s health, you might first consider trying the bottled water approach. Sadly, this gets expensive fast. In addition, plastic water bottles that aren’t recycled end up damaging the world’s waterways, harming the environment and hurting marine life. 

Installing a whole-house water filtration system is more cost-efficient and healthier for the environment than buying bottled water. It may also deliver healthier water more conveniently because you can get it straight from the tap. Additionally, whole-house systems supply purified water to your showers, tubs and plumbing fixtures, helping you to maximize the benefits everywhereyou use water at home. 

Before setting up a whole-house water filtration system, learn what’s in your water supply and how a Filtermax™ Superior Chemical Removal Filter can clear out hazardous contaminants. Then, choose Service Experts Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing to help you choose and install the best water filter for you. 

What’s in Your Drinking Water? 

Water quality fluctuates by location, but a few of the most prevalent contaminants include: 

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

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

Consider Installing a Filtermax Water Filtration System 

The Filtermax Superior Chemical Removal Filter filters out dirt, debris and hazardous chemicals from your tap water, 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 contaminants in your drinking water. Composed of silt, sand, rust or clay, sediment is abundant and can become concentrated in the water main after heavy rains. While generally harmless, sediment can make your drinking water appear and taste unpleasant. Filtermax offers sediment filtration to remove solids from your drinking water. 
  • Chlorine removal: Chlorine is crucial to clean drinking water in dense cities. Unfortunately, this disinfectant creates hazardous chemical byproducts when it reacts with naturally occurring organic and inorganic substances in the water. Some DPBs, such as trihalomethanes (THMs), are known to cause cancer. Filtermax eliminates these carcinogens to keep your family healthy. 
  • Safer, cleaner, better-tasting water: Guaranteeing safe tap water is the objective of installing any water filtration system. Besides being healthier for your family to drink, filtered water also smells, tastes and looks better. No more lasting metallic or musty smells. No more earthy or chlorine taste. No more cloudy water swirling around your kitchen sink. Just clean-tasting, odorless, crystal-clear water. 
  • Filtered water for every tap: Harmful chemicals don’t just threaten you when ingested—they also absorb into your skin when you shower and stick to your clothing and dishes when you wash them. That’s why a whole-house filtration system is so beneficial because it provides clean water from every tap. 
  • No operating costs or wasted water: Some whole-house filtration systems raise your electric bills. Others add to your water bills with automatic backwashing and flushing. Filtermax illustrates that clean water doesn’t have to include higher utility costs. 
  • Flow-through distributor: Based on your plumbing system’s structure, you could need an upflow or downflow water filter. The Filtermax™ flow-through distributor includes both designs to satisfy 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 keep providing clean, quality drinking water for a long, long time.
