The Importance of Home Water Filtration and Purification

When you use the faucet on your kitchen or bathroom sink, you expect clean, safe water to flow out. But even if your water appears clear, it might still be hiding toxic chemicals that are hazardous to your family’s health and safety. Plenty of people don’t like the taste of polluted tap water and understand the risk of drinking it. That’s why half of all American homes use either a home water treatment system (32 percent) or bottled water (18 percent) to make sure they have healthy drinking water on hand. 

If you want to safeguard your family’s health, you may first opt for continuing the bottled water route. But of course, this gets expensive almost immediately. Additionally, plastic water bottles that aren’t recycled end up damaging the world’s waterways, harming the environment and wiping out marine life. 

Installing a whole-house water filtration system is more cost-efficient and better for the environment than using so much bottled water. It will also supply healthier water more easily because you can get it directly from the tap. Additionally, whole-house systems supply purified water to your showers, tubs and plumbing fixtures, enabling you to capitalize on the benefits anywhereyou use water in your home. 

Before putting in 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, contact Eveready Service Experts to help you choose 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’s in your water supply by entering your ZIP Code into the Environmental Working Group’s drinking water quality database. EWG files show that over 80 percent of utility water supplies in North America have tested positive for carcinogenic chemicals, illustrating that legal water quality levels may not be necessarily safe. 

Consider Installing a Filtermax Water Filtration System 

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

• Sediment filtration: Cloudiness is a sure sign of contaminants in your drinking water. Comprised of silt, sand, rust or clay, sediment is abundant and can accumulate in the water main following heavy rains. While generally harmless, sediment can make your drinking water appear and taste unpleasant. Filtermax offers sediment filtration to clear out solids from your drinking water. 
• Chlorine removal: Chlorine is the key to clean drinking water in urban settings. Sadly, this disinfectant also adds dangerous chemical byproducts when it reacts with naturally occurring organic and inorganic substances in the water. Certain DPBs, such as trihalomethanes (THMs), are shown to cause cancer. Filtermax removes these carcinogens to keep your family safe. 

• Safer, cleaner, better-tasting water: Ensuring safe tap water is the objective 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 lasting metallic or musty odors. No more earthy or chlorine flavor. No more murky water swirling around your glass. Just clean-tasting, odorless, crystal-clear water. 
• Filtered water for every tap: Toxic chemicals don’t just affect you when ingested—they also absorb into your skin when you shower and adhere to your clothing and dishes as you wash 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 increase your electric bills. Others raise your water bills with automatic backwashing and flushing. Filtermax illustrates that safe, clean water doesn’t have to include steeper utility costs. 
• Flow-through distributor: Based on your plumbing system’s structure, you may 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 have certainty your investment will keep providing clean, quality drinking water for a long, long time.
