The Importance of Home Water Filtration and Purification

When you use the faucet on your kitchen or bathroom sink, you anticipate clean, safe water to flow out. But even if the water appears clear, it may still carry toxic chemicals that present a risk to your family’s health and safety. Plenty of people do not like the taste of contaminated tap water and understand the risks of drinking it. That’s why half of all American households 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 ensure your family’s health, you might first opt for continuing the bottled water approach. But of course, this gets pricey almost immediately. Additionally, plastic water bottles that aren’t recyclable end up damaging the world’s waterways, disrupting the environment and wiping out marine life. 

Having a whole-house water filtration system is more cost-efficient and better for the environment than buying bottled water. It will also provide healthier water more conveniently because you can get it right from the tap. What’s more, whole-house systems provide purified water to your showers, tubs and plumbing appliances, enabling you to maximize the benefits everywhereyou use water in your home. 

Before setting up a whole-house water filtration system, learn what’s in your water supply and how a Filtermax™ Superior Chemical Removal Filter can filter out hazardous contaminants. Then, choose Eveready Service Experts to help you pick out and install the right water filter for you. 

What’s in Your Water Supply? 

Water quality varies by location, but a few of the most likely 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 data shows that above 80 percent of utility water supplies in North America have tested positive for carcinogenic chemicals, revealing that legal water quality levels aren’t necessarily safe. 

Consider Installing a Filtermax Water Filtration System 

The Filtermax Superior Chemical Removal Filter traps dirt, debris and harmful chemicals from your faucets, furnishing you and your family with safe, clean water to drink. Here are the advantages of this system: 

• Sediment filtration: Cloudiness is a frequent sign of debris in your drinking water. Consisting of silt, sand, rust or clay, sediment is abundant and can accumulate in the water main following heavy rains. While generally harmless, sediment makes your drinking water look and taste unpleasant. Filtermax offers sediment filtration to filter out solids from your drinking water. 
• Chlorine removal: Chlorine is vital to clean drinking water in urban environments like cities. However, this disinfectant can generate dangerous chemical byproducts when it mixes with naturally occurring organic and inorganic materials in the water. Certain DPBs, such as trihalomethanes (THMs), are shown to cause cancer. Filtermax eliminates these carcinogens to keep your family healthy. 

• Safer, cleaner, better-tasting water: Ensuring safe tap water is the goal 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 constant metallic or musty smells. 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 worthwhile because it provides clean water from every tap. 
• No operating costs or squandered water: Some whole-house filtration systems add to your electric bills. Others increase your water bills with automatic backwashing and flushing. Filtermax proves that healthy water doesn’t have to bring steeper utility costs. 
• Flow-through distributor: Depending on your plumbing system’s setup, you could need an upflow or downflow water filter. The Filtermax™ flow-through distributor contains both designs to cater to 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 carry on providing clean, quality drinking water for many years to come.
