The Importance of Home Water Filtration and Purification

When you turn the faucet on your kitchen or bathroom sink, you’re expecting clean, safe water to flow out. But even if the water looks clear, it could still contain toxic chemicals that are hazardous to your family’s health and well-being. A lot of people do not like the taste of contaminated tap water and understand the risk 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 ensure they have safe drinking water at home. 

If you want to safeguard your family’s well-being, you might first opt for continuing the bottled water route. Unfortunately, this gets costly fast. Additionally, plastic water bottles that aren’t recyclable end up contaminating the world’s waterways, disrupting the environment and killing marine life. 

Installing a whole-house water filtration system is more cost-effective and better for the environment than buying bottled water. It will also supply healthier water much more easily because you can get it directly from the tap. In addition, whole-house systems send purified water to your showers, tubs and plumbing fixtures, enabling you to make the most of the benefits whereveryou use water at home. 

Before installing a whole-house water filter, learn what’s in your drinking water and how a Filtermax™ Superior Chemical Removal Filter can clear out unhealthy 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 varies 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 water supply by entering your ZIP Code into the Environmental Working Group’s drinking water quality database. EWG data shows that greater than 80 percent of utility water supplies in North America have tested positive for carcinogenic chemicals, demonstrating that legal water quality levels are not necessarily safe. 

Try Installing a Filtermax Water Filtration System 

The Filtermax Superior Chemical Removal Filter eliminates dirt, debris and harmful chemicals from your faucets, providing you and your family with safe, sparkling water to enjoy. Here are the advantages of this system: 

• Sediment filtration: Cloudiness is a sure sign of sediment in your drinking water. Consisting of silt, sand, rust or clay, sediment naturally occurs and increases in the water main following heavy rains. While typically harmless, sediment makes your drinking water look and taste unpleasant. Filtermax offers sediment filtration to remove solids from your drinking water. 
• Chlorine removal: Chlorine is vital to clean drinking water in urban settings. Unfortunately, this disinfectant creates hazardous chemical byproducts when it reacts with naturally occurring organic and inorganic compounds in the water. A few DPBs, such as trihalomethanes (THMs), are shown to cause cancer. Filtermax gets rid of these carcinogens to keep your family safe. 

• Safer, cleaner, better-tasting water: Ensuring safe tap water is the goal of adding putting in any water filtration system. Besides being safer for your family to enjoy, filtered water also smells, tastes and looks better. No more constant metallic or musty scents. No more earthy or chlorine flavor. No more cloudy water swirling around your kitchen sink. Just clean-tasting, odorless, crystal-clear water. 
• Filtered water to every tap: Toxic chemicals don’t just impact you when ingested—they also absorb into your skin during a shower and stick to your clothing and dishes as you wash them. That’s why a whole-house filtration system is so helpful because it guarantees clean water from every tap. 
• No operating costs or water going to waste: Some whole-house filtration systems add to your electric bills. Others increase your water bills with automatic backwashing and flushing. Filtermax proves that safe, clean water doesn’t have to include bigger 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 can be sure your investment will keep providing clean, quality drinking water for many years to come.
