The Importance of Home Water Filtration and Purification

When you turn the faucet on your kitchen or bathroom sink, you’re expecting clean, healthy water to flow out. But even if the water looks clear, it could still be hiding toxic chemicals that are hazardous to your family’s health and well-being. Many people dislike the taste of contaminated tap water and recognize the consequences of drinking it. That’s why half of all American homes use either a home water treatment system (32 percent) or bottled water (18 percent) to guarantee they have healthy drinking water at home. 

If you want to safeguard your family’s health, you may first opt for trying the bottled water plan. Sadly, this gets expensive soon. In addition, plastic water bottles that aren’t recyclable end up damaging the world’s waterways, causing harm to the environment and killing marine life. 

Having a whole-house water filtration system is more practical and cleaner for the environment than buying bottled water. It may also provide healthier water much more easily because you can get it straight from the tap. Additionally, whole-house systems provide purified water to your showers, tubs and plumbing appliances, allowing you to maximize the benefits anywhereyou use water in your home. 

Before putting in a whole-house water filter, learn what’s in your drinking water and how a Filtermax™ Superior Chemical Removal Filter can eliminate harmful contaminants. Then, get in touch with Service Experts Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing to help you find and install the ideal water filter for you. 

What’s in Your Water Supply? 

Water quality fluctuates by location, but some of the most likely contaminants are: 

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

Learn what may be 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 tested positive for carcinogenic chemicals, demonstrating that regulated water quality levels may not be necessarily safe. 

Think About Installing a Filtermax Water Filtration System 

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

• Sediment filtration: Cloudiness is a common sign of debris in your drinking water. Comprised of silt, sand, rust or clay, sediment is naturally occurring and increases in the water main following heavy rains. While generally harmless, sediment will make your drinking water look and taste unpleasant. Filtermax provides sediment filtration to clear out solids from your drinking water. 
• Chlorine removal: Chlorine is crucial to clean drinking water in urban environments like cities. Unfortunately, this disinfectant also adds hazardous chemical byproducts when it reacts with naturally occurring organic and inorganic compounds in the water. Certain DPBs, including trihalomethanes (THMs), are found to cause cancer. Filtermax eliminates these carcinogens to protect your family. 

• Safer, cleaner, better-tasting water: Guaranteeing safe tap water is the objective of adding putting in any water filtration equipment. Besides being safer for your family to enjoy, filtered water also smells, tastes and looks better. No more lingering metallic or musty odors. No more earthy or chlorine taste. No more cloudy water swirling around your cup. Just clean-tasting, odorless, crystal-clear water. 
• Filtered water at every tap: Harmful chemicals don’t just affect you when ingested—they also absorb into your skin when you shower and cling to your clothing and dishes when you wash them. That’s why a whole-house filtration system is so helpful because it ensures 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 safe, clean water doesn’t have to come with bigger utility costs. 
• Flow-through distributor: Depending on your plumbing system’s structure, you could need an upflow or downflow water filter. The Filtermax™ flow-through distributor features both designs to accommodate your needs. 
• 20-year manufacturer warranty: This is the best warranty in the water treatment equipment industry! With this coverage, you have certainty your investment will keep providing clean, quality drinking water for a long, long time.
