Extraordinary Benefits When You Have a Home Water Filtration System
Water is a part of many phases of daily life. Because we interact so closely with it, the quality of the water we use can have pronounced effects on many things, including our cookware, faucets, plumbing pipes, our bodies and our health.
Tri-Florida Water Treatment of Auburndale, FL, would like to share a few of the benefits homeowners enjoy when they equip their homes with a modern water filtration system.
Municipal water is the alternative
If you don’t treat the water coming into your home, and if you don’t have a well, most likely you get your water from your local municipal provider. This water is monitored for major contaminants, but it’s not thoroughly cleaned. It would be too expensive to do that. The municipal water provider’s job is to clean water well enough so that it meets local, state and federal regulations for public water supplies.
For many people, that level of “cleaning” isn’t enough.
4 benefits of a whole-house water filtration system
A house-wide water treatment system that includes a water softener offers a long list of benefits, including these four:
-
Really clean water
Water purifiers work by reverse osmosis to push incoming water through a specialized membrane that removes a vast number of contaminants, including:
- Pesticides
- Enteroviruses
- Fluoride
- Herbicides
- Copper, iron and lead
- Phosphorus
- Arsenic
- Magnesium and calcium, which cause “hard” water
- Hepatitis A
- E. coli
- Salmonella
- Nitrate and nitrogen
- Pharmaceuticals
- Radium
and many others.
-
Water that’s enjoyable to drink
With the removal of contaminants, many of which affect the taste of drinking water, the water you drink and cook with will have a more pure and natural taste. This is especially the case when calcium, magnesium and other “hard water” minerals are removed.
-
Softer water that’s good all around
The “hardness” in water is caused by certain minerals that most municipal water sources don’t filter out. A home water filtration system removes these minerals, resulting in:
- Water that tastes great
- Fewer spots on dishes and cookware
- Less limescale buildup around faucets
- Reduced chance of plumbing pipe damage and water line blockages
- A gentler effect on your hair and skin with less irritation and itchiness
-
Save money
If you buy bottled water, you may not be aware of just how much you’re spending. The cost of gallon jugs, handy liter bottles and all types of water products in between can really add up. With a built-in water cleaning system, you pay for the system and never again pay for drinking water.
Water filtration options
A whole-house water treatment system is the choice of most homeowners wishing to take control of their water quality. But in a pinch, charcoal water filters can do a pretty good job.
These installable filters treat the water that comes out of a given faucet. You can also purchase little portable filter-pitcher combos, into which you pour regular faucet water and allow it to run through the charcoal filter and fill the pitcher.
But if you’d rather go with the “one and done” approach, it’s time to look into a house-wide water filtration system.
