The Importance of Home Water Filtration and Purification

When you run the faucet on your kitchen or bathroom sink, you expect clean, healthy water to flow out. But even if your water looks clear, it might still be hiding toxic chemicals that pose a threat to your family’s health and well-being. Plenty of people don’t like the taste of tainted tap water and recognize 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 ensure they have safe drinking water nearby. 

If you want to protect your family’s well-being, you may first opt for trying the bottled water route. Unfortunately, this gets expensive soon. In addition, plastic water bottles that don’t get recycled end up contaminating the world’s waterways, causing harm to the environment and wiping out marine life. 

Setting up a whole-house water filtration system is more practical and healthier for the environment than buying bottled water. It can also deliver healthier water much more easily 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 anywhereyou use water at home. 

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

What’s in Your Water Supply? 

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

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

Learn what could be in your drinking water by entering your ZIP Code into the Environmental Working Group’s drinking water quality database. EWG records show that above 80 percent of utility water supplies in North America tested positive for carcinogenic chemicals, illustrating that lawful water quality levels aren’t necessarily safe. 

Consider Installing a Filtermax Water Filtration System 

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

  • Sediment filtration: Cloudiness is a common sign of contaminants in your drinking water. Comprised of silt, sand, rust or clay, sediment naturally occurs and can become concentrated in the water main following heavy rains. While generally harmless, sediment can make your drinking water look and taste unpleasant. Filtermax offers sediment filtration to clear out solids from your drinking water. 
  • Chlorine removal: Chlorine is vital to clean drinking water in urban settings. Unfortunately, this disinfectant creates dangerous chemical byproducts when it mixes with naturally occurring organic and inorganic materials in the water. A few DPBs, such as trihalomethanes (THMs), are shown to cause cancer. Filtermax removes these carcinogens to protect your family. 
  • Safer, cleaner, better-tasting water: Providing safe tap water is the goal of adding putting in any water filtration equipment. Besides being healthier 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 to every tap: Hazardous chemicals don’t just affect you when ingested—they also absorb into your skin when you shower and stick to your clothing and dishes when you wash them. That’s why a whole-house filtration system is so helpful because it ensures clean water from every tap. 
  • No operating expenses or squandered water: Some whole-house filtration systems increase 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: Depending on your plumbing system’s configuration, you might 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 best 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.
