4 Benefits of a Water Filtration System Installation

Water is just as important to our survival as food and oxygen. However, many Americans either don’t trust, or like the water they get from their faucets. Whether you have a municipal supplier or get your water from a well, there are ways to improve the taste, smell, and safety.

If you’ve never considered a whole house water filter, here are four benefits of getting one.

Safer Drinking Water

Although city water providers must uphold water quality and safety standards, the water you get could still contain contaminants and chemicals such as chlorine that could impact your health. Even if your water supplier gets a clean bill of health, water can still become contaminated by flowing through the plumbing system before it gets to your home. Installing a whole home water filter ensures you get the clean, healthy water you and your family deserve.

Saves Money

Many Americans spend hundreds of dollars every year buying bottled water because they don’t like or trust the water they get from the tap. An average family can drink up to five bottles of water a day, so it’s easy to see how quickly the money can add up. The money you save by not buying bottled water virtually pays for the water filter installation and upkeep.

Reduces Plumbing Problems

Hard water is full of minerals like calcium and magnesium, which can build up in your plumbing system, causing severe clogs and irreversible damage. Using a water filter significantly reduces the buildup that leads to corrosion, clogs, and pipe replacement.

Cleaner Environment

You’re undoubtedly familiar with the stories of the amount of plastic trash polluting our environment, and much of that trash comes from the plastic bottles we throw away every day. If you’re concerned about your waste output, installing a water filtration system is an excellent way to reduce how much plastic trash you put into landfills.

What’s the Best Home Water Filter?

If you’ve decided to install a whole home water filter, you may wonder which system is the best?

There’s a lot of confusion between water filters and water purifiers, so let’s look at the two and see how they work and how they differ.

Water Filtration: There are various kinds of water filters available, but they all work similarly, using filter media to reduce the number of contaminants in the water. Many water filters use activated carbon along with a physical filter to remove impurities and filter particles.

Reverse Osmosis: A reverse osmosis filter uses a process that applies pressure to a highly concentrated solute solution forcing it through a semipermeable membrane that traps contaminants, minerals, and chemicals, allowing fresh, clean water to come out the other side. Most reverse osmosis filters also use a pre-filter to remove large particles and sediment like dirt and activated carbon to reduce the unpleasant odors that come from chlorine.

Many water quality experts agree that a multi-stage reverse osmosis system is superior to traditional water filters because they offer increased protection from chemicals, sediment, and contaminants, and they’re easier to maintain.
