The Importance of Home Water Filtration and Purification

When you run the faucet on your kitchen or bathroom sink, you anticipate clean, safe water to flow out. But even if your water looks clear, it may still be hiding toxic chemicals that pose a threat to your family’s health and well-being. Plenty of people do not like the taste of contaminated tap water and recognize the risks 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 make sure they have safe drinking water nearby. 

If you want to safeguard your family’s well-being, you may first think about continuing the bottled water approach. Sadly, this gets expensive soon. In addition, plastic water bottles that aren’t recycled end up polluting the world’s waterways, causing harm to the environment and wiping out marine life. 

Installing a whole-house water filtration system is more practical and better for the environment than buying bottled water. It may also supply healthier water much more easily because you can get it right from the tap. Additionally, whole-house systems provide purified water to your showers, tubs and plumbing fixtures, enabling you to capitalize on the benefits anywhereyou use water at home. 

Before setting up a whole-house water filter, learn what’s in your water supply and how a Filtermax™ Superior Chemical Removal Filter can eliminate hazardous contaminants. Then, choose Service Experts Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing to help you choose and install the ideal water filter for you. 

What’s in Your Water Supply? 

Water quality may differ by location, but several of the most common contaminants include: 

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

Learn what may be in your home’s tap water by entering your ZIP Code into the Environmental Working Group’s drinking water quality database. EWG files show that greater than 80 percent of utility water supplies in North America have tested positive for carcinogenic chemicals, demonstrating that lawful water quality levels are not 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, clean water to enjoy. Here are the benefits of this system: 

• Sediment filtration: Cloudiness is a frequent sign of sediment in your drinking water. Comprised of silt, sand, rust or clay, sediment is abundant and increases in the water main soon after severe storms. While generally harmless, sediment will make your drinking water look and taste unpleasant. Filtermax includes sediment filtration to remove solids from your drinking water. 
• Chlorine removal: Chlorine is vital to clean drinking water in urban environments like cities. However, this disinfectant also adds dangerous chemical byproducts when it reacts with naturally occurring organic and inorganic materials in the water. Certain DPBs, such as trihalomethanes (THMs), are found to cause cancer. Filtermax eliminates these carcinogens to keep your family safe. 

• Safer, cleaner, better-tasting water: Providing safe tap water is the goal of adding putting in any water filtration system. Besides being cleaner for your family to drink, filtered water also smells, tastes and looks better. No more lasting metallic or musty odors. No more earthy or chlorine flavor. No more murky water swirling around your cup. Just clean-tasting, odorless, crystal-clear water. 
• Filtered water at every tap: Hazardous chemicals don’t just impact you when ingested—they also absorb into your skin during a shower and cling to your clothing and dishes when you clean them. That’s why a whole-house filtration system is so beneficial because it ensures clean water from every tap. 
• No operating costs or squandered water: Some whole-house filtration systems add to your electric bills. Others raise your water bills with automatic backwashing and flushing. Filtermax demonstrates that safe, clean water doesn’t have to come with steeper utility costs. 
• Flow-through distributor: Based on your plumbing system’s configuration, you could need an upflow or downflow water filter. The Filtermax™ flow-through distributor includes both designs to cater to your needs. 
• 20-year manufacturer warranty: This is one of the strongest warranties in the water treatment equipment industry! With this coverage, you have certainty your investment will keep providing clean, quality drinking water for many years to come.
