Why Every Home Needs a Water Filtration System
While most homeowners have access to relatively clean and safe water, it’s amazing how many impurities and contaminants are considered safe and drinkable. A water filtration system installation helps remove those extra impurities that can be hard on the home’s plumbing systems, appliances, and even things like laundry or showers.
Using a whole-home water filter is a reliable means to provide pure water in every area of the home.
How a Whole House Water Filter Works
There are different types of water filter options out there. Of course, we’re all familiar with the pitches and filters for drinking water, but those do nothing to support the rest of the home. There are two primary types of water filter systems to choose from.
- Reverse osmosis: uses a semi-permeable material to capture and eliminate impurities such as heavy metals, chlorine, or other harmful additives
- Carbon filter: captures all of the above as well as volatile organic compounds, improving taste as well
Both types of water filters have benefits and improve the quality of water running through the home. A whole house water filter will ensure that every faucet and water line gets purified water.
Understanding the Benefits
No matter which type of system is chosen, the entire home can experience substantial benefits. Although a water filtration system installation can be costly, the benefits are often well worth it, particularly over time.
These are some benefits of using systems like these:
- Water free of contaminants
- No hard water effects
- Removing harmful materials from water
- Improves the taste of drinking and cooking water
- Protect plumbing and appliances from scale buildup or corrosion
- Eliminate ongoing bottled water needs
With purified water to the whole home, everything operates better, appliances last longer, and homeowners can use the faucet water for drinking rather than continue to stock bottled water.
Recognizing the Need for Water Filtration System Installation
While every home can benefit from a water filter system, there are specific signs that one is needed. These signs are good indicators that the water and home would be much improved by a water filtration system:
- Unpleasant taste in the water
- Odors emanating from faucet water
- Discolored and cloudy water
- Limescale buildup on appliances or in the tub
- Frequent plumbing fixture replacement
When signs such as these are present, a whole home water filter will help improve these issues and possibly eliminate them. Work with a professional to determine the best filtration system for the home’s needs. This investment is great for the home as well as the family’s health.
