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 appears clear, it may still be hiding toxic chemicals that present a risk to your family’s health and well-being. Many people dislike the taste of tainted tap water and grasp the risks of drinking it. That’s why half of all American families keep 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 protect your family’s health, you may first opt for going the bottled water plan. But of course, this gets expensive fast. In addition, plastic water bottles that aren’t recycled end up damaging the world’s waterways, disrupting the environment and killing marine life. 

Installing a whole-house water filtration system is more cost-effective and healthier for the environment than using so much bottled water. It can also supply healthier water more conveniently because you can get it directly from the tap. What’s more, whole-house systems provide purified water to your showers, tubs and plumbing fixtures, enabling you to maximize the benefits whereveryou use water at home. 

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

What’s in Your Drinking Water? 

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

• 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 files show that over 80 percent of utility water supplies in North America tested positive for carcinogenic chemicals, revealing that legal water quality levels may not be necessarily safe. 

Consider Installing a Filtermax Water Filtration System 

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

• Sediment filtration: Cloudiness is a sure sign of sediment 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 typically harmless, sediment can make your drinking water look and taste unpleasant. Filtermax provides sediment filtration to filter out solids from your drinking water. 
• Chlorine removal: Chlorine is crucial to clean drinking water in dense cities. However, this disinfectant can generate hazardous chemical byproducts when it mixes with naturally occurring organic and inorganic compounds in the water. Certain DPBs, such as trihalomethanes (THMs), are shown to cause cancer. Filtermax gets rid of these carcinogens to keep your family safe. 

• Safer, cleaner, better-tasting water: Providing safe tap water is the goal of adding putting in any water filtration system. Besides being cleaner for your family to drink, filtered water also smells, tastes and looks better. No more lasting metallic or musty scents. 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: Hazardous chemicals don’t just impact you when ingested—they also absorb into your skin when you shower and cling to your clothing and dishes as you wash them. That’s why a whole-house filtration system is so beneficial because it provides clean water from every tap. 
• No operating expenses or squandered water: Some whole-house filtration systems increase your electric bills. Others add to your water bills with automatic backwashing and flushing. Filtermax proves that safe, clean water doesn’t have to bring steeper utility costs. 
• Flow-through distributor: Based on your plumbing system’s structure, you could 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 can be sure your investment will continue providing clean, quality drinking water for a long, long time.
