The Importance of Home Water Filtration and Purification

When you use the faucet on your kitchen or bathroom sink, you’re expecting clean, safe water to flow out. But even if your water appears clear, it may still contain toxic chemicals that are hazardous to your family’s health and safety. A lot of people don’t like the taste of tainted tap water and understand the consequences of drinking it. That’s why half of all American families have either a home water treatment system (32 percent) or bottled water (18 percent) to guarantee they have safe drinking water on hand. 

If you want to ensure your family’s health, you may first think about going the bottled water route. Unfortunately, this gets pricey soon. Additionally, plastic water bottles that don’t get recycled end up damaging the world’s waterways, disrupting the environment and killing marine life. 

Having a whole-house water filtration system is more cost-efficient and better for the environment than using so much bottled water. It may also supply healthier water much more easily because you can get it straight from the tap. What’s more, whole-house systems supply purified water to your showers, tubs and plumbing fixtures, allowing you to make the most of the benefits whereveryou use water at home. 

Before putting in a whole-house water filter, find out what’s in your water supply and how a Filtermax™ Superior Chemical Removal Filter can clear out hazardous contaminants. Then, get in touch with Service Experts Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing to help you pick out and install the right water filter for you. 

What’s in Your Drinking Water? 

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

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

Learn what’s in your drinking water 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 may not be necessarily safe. 

Consider Installing a Filtermax Water Filtration System 

The Filtermax Superior Chemical Removal Filter eliminates dirt, debris and hazardous chemicals from your tap, providing you and your family with safe, healthy water to enjoy. Here are the perks of this system: 

• Sediment filtration: Cloudiness is a sure sign of sediment in your drinking water. Comprised of silt, sand, rust or clay, sediment naturally occurs and can become concentrated in the water main after heavy rains. While largely harmless, sediment will make your drinking water look and taste unpleasant. Filtermax offers sediment filtration to filter out solids from your drinking water. 
• Chlorine removal: Chlorine is crucial to clean drinking water in urban environments like cities. Unfortunately, this disinfectant can generate harmful chemical byproducts when it reacts with naturally occurring organic and inorganic materials in the water. A few DPBs, such as trihalomethanes (THMs), are found to cause cancer. Filtermax removes these carcinogens to protect your family. 

• Safer, cleaner, better-tasting water: Providing safe tap water is the objective of installing any water filtration solution. Besides being cleaner for your family to drink, filtered water also smells, tastes and looks better. No more constant metallic or musty smells. No more earthy or chlorine taste. No more cloudy water swirling around your glass. Just clean-tasting, odorless, crystal-clear water. 
• Filtered water to every tap: Hazardous chemicals don’t just affect you when ingested—they also absorb into your skin as 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 guarantees clean water from every tap. 
• No operating expenses or squandered water: Some whole-house filtration systems raise your electric bills. Others add to your water bills with automatic backwashing and flushing. Filtermax proves that healthy water doesn’t have to bring higher utility costs. 
• Flow-through distributor: Depending on your plumbing system’s configuration, you might need an upflow or downflow water filter. The Filtermax™ flow-through distributor contains 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 know your investment will keep providing clean, quality drinking water for a long, long time.
