When you run the faucet on your kitchen or bathroom sink, you anticipate clean, healthy water to flow out. But even if the water appears clear, it might still contain toxic chemicals that pose a threat to your family’s health and well-being. Plenty of people don't like the taste of contaminated tap water and understand the risk of drinking it. That’s why half of all American homes keep either a home water treatment system (32 percent) or bottled water (18 percent) to make sure they have clean drinking water nearby.
If you want to safeguard your family’s health, you may first consider trying the bottled water plan. Unfortunately, this gets costly almost immediately. Plus, plastic water bottles that aren't recycled end up contaminating the world’s waterways, disrupting the environment and hurting marine life.
Setting up a whole-house water filtration system is more cost-efficient and better for the environment than buying bottled water. It can also deliver healthier water much more easily because you can get it directly from the tap. What's more, whole-house systems supply purified water to your showers, tubs and plumbing appliances, allowing you to maximize the benefits anywhere you 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 filter out unhealthy contaminants. Then, get in touch with Matz-Rightway to help you find and install the ideal water filter for you.
What’s in Your Drinking Water?
Water quality varies by location, but some of the most prevalent contaminants are:
- 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, illustrating that lawful water quality levels aren't necessarily safe.
Think About Installing a Filtermax Water Filtration System
The Filtermax Superior Chemical Removal Filter filters out dirt, debris and harmful chemicals from your tap water, supplying you and your family with safe, sparkling water to enjoy. Here are the perks of this system:
- Sediment filtration: Cloudiness is a sure sign of contaminants in your drinking water. Consisting of silt, sand, rust or clay, sediment is naturally occurring and increases in the water main following heavy rainfall. While largely harmless, sediment can make your drinking water look and taste unpleasant. Filtermax includes sediment filtration to clear out solids from your drinking water.
- Chlorine removal: Chlorine is crucial to clean drinking water in dense cities. Unfortunately, this disinfectant can generate hazardous chemical byproducts when it reacts with naturally occurring organic and inorganic materials in the water. Some DPBs, like 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 installing any water filtration solution. Besides being healthier for your family to enjoy, filtered water also smells, tastes and looks better. No more lingering metallic or musty odors. 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 threaten you when ingested—they also absorb into your skin during a shower and adhere to your clothing and dishes when you clean them. That’s why a whole-house filtration system is so worthwhile because it guarantees clean water from every tap.
- No operating expenses or wasted water: Some whole-house filtration systems raise your electric bills. Others increase your water bills with automatic backwashing and flushing. Filtermax proves that clean water doesn’t have to bring steeper utility costs.
- Flow-through distributor: Depending on your plumbing system’s setup, you may need an upflow or downflow water filter. The Filtermax™ flow-through distributor features 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 continue providing clean, quality drinking water for many years to come.
