The Importance of Home Water Filtration and Purification

When you turn the faucet on your kitchen or bathroom sink, you anticipate clean, healthy water to flow out. But even if your water looks clear, it could still carry toxic chemicals that pose a threat to your family’s health and well-being. Many people don’t like the taste of contaminated tap water and recognize the consequences 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 ensure they have clean drinking water nearby. 

If you want to protect your family’s well-being, you may first consider going the bottled water approach. Sadly, this gets expensive fast. Additionally, plastic water bottles that don’t get recycled end up polluting the world’s waterways, causing harm to the environment and hurting marine life. 

Having 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 conveniently because you can get it right from the tap. In addition, whole-house systems provide purified water to your showers, tubs and plumbing fixtures, allowing you to make the most of the benefits anywhereyou use water at home. 

Before putting in a whole-house water filtration system, find out what’s in your water and how a Filtermax™ Superior Chemical Removal Filter can clear out unhealthy contaminants. Then, contact Eveready Service Experts to help you pick out and install the best water filter for you. 

What’s in Your Drinking Water? 

Water quality varies by location, but a few of the most likely contaminants are: 

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

Learn what could 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, demonstrating that legal water quality levels may not be necessarily safe. 

Think About Installing a Filtermax Water Filtration System 

The Filtermax Superior Chemical Removal Filter eliminates dirt, debris and hazardous chemicals from your tap water, furnishing you and your family with safe, healthy water to enjoy. Here are the advantages of this system: 

• Sediment filtration: Cloudiness is a common sign of debris in your drinking water. Comprised of silt, sand, rust or clay, sediment naturally occurs and increases in the water main soon after severe storms. While generally harmless, sediment can make your drinking water look and taste unpleasant. Filtermax provides sediment filtration to clear 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 meets naturally occurring organic and inorganic compounds in the water. Some DPBs, like trihalomethanes (THMs), are shown to cause cancer. Filtermax gets rid of these carcinogens to keep your family safe. 

• Safer, cleaner, better-tasting water: Guaranteeing safe tap water is the goal of installing any water filtration equipment. Besides being healthier for your family to enjoy, filtered water also smells, tastes and looks better. No more lingering metallic or musty scents. 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 threaten you when ingested—they also absorb into your skin when you shower and stick to your clothing and dishes as you wash them. That’s why a whole-house filtration system is so helpful because it guarantees clean water from every tap. 
• No operating expenses or squandered water: Some whole-house filtration systems raise your electric bills. Others raise your water bills with automatic backwashing and flushing. Filtermax illustrates that healthy water doesn’t have to include bigger utility costs. 
• Flow-through distributor: Depending on your plumbing system’s configuration, 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 best warranties 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.
