Water is vital in our everyday life. Over 70 percent of the human body is made of water. Not only do we drink water, but we need it for showering, cooking, cleaning, and more! One question we need to ask ourselves is … is our water pure and clean?
Two-thirds of the Earth is covered by water, but only a small percentage of that water is healthy to drink! Just because your water comes from a water treatment facility does not mean it is free of contaminants like bacteria, heavy metals and chemicals. The safest solution for pure and clean water is to install a home water filtration system.
Types of Water Filtration Systems
- Reverse Osmosis Systems– Water is forced through a semi-permeable membrane using air pressure. Almost all contaminants are effectively filtered out with this system.
- Cation Exchange Water Filter Systems– Known as water softeners or exchange systems, they create positively charged ions that attract the negatively charged ions of earth metals like barium, calcium, and magnesium.
Benefits of a Home Water Filtration System
- Safe Drinking Water– Most of the municipal water systems in the United States do a good job of treating our water, but there are still contaminants left in or added to our water. When you filter your water, you can be sure that it is pure and safe for drinking.
- Reduce Plumbing Issues– The minerals, heavy metals, and chemicals in your water can cause corrosion and damage to your plumbing system. With filtered water, you can extend the life of your pipes and appliances and reduce the risk for major repair bills.
- Limescale Reduction– Limescale is the white chalky deposits that can build up in pipes and appliances and can also make your water taste unpleasant.
- Minimize Skin Conditions– Contaminants in water can aggravate skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema. Use filtered water for healthier skin!
- Protect the Environment- The majority of plastic water bottles bought in the U.S. end up in landfills. Plastic can take 450 years to disintegrate. With a home water filtration system, you are helping the environment by not using plastic bottles!
- Save Money– Another downfall to buying bottled water is that the costs add up. Installing a water filtration system in your home is cheaper in the long run.
- Save on Soap– Hard water has minerals that prevent the ionic action of soap. A filtration system helps you to use less soap to clean your body, dishes and clothes.
