When you use the faucet on your kitchen or bathroom sink, you anticipate clean, safe water to flow out. But even if your water looks clear, it could still be hiding toxic chemicals that pose a threat to your family’s health and safety. Many people dislike the taste of contaminated tap water and recognize the consequences 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 on hand.
If you want to ensure your family’s health, you may first consider trying the bottled water approach. Unfortunately, this gets pricey almost immediately. In addition, plastic water bottles that don’t get recycled end up damaging the world’s waterways, causing harm to the environment and wiping out marine life.
Having a whole-house water filtration system is more practical and healthier for the environment than buying bottled water. It will also provide healthier water more conveniently because you can get it directly from the tap. Additionally, whole-house systems supply purified water to your showers, tubs and plumbing fixtures, helping you to capitalize on the benefits anywhere you use water in your home.
Before putting in a whole-house water filter, learn what’s in your water and how a Filtermax™ Superior Chemical Removal Filter can eliminate harmful contaminants. Then, contact Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning to help you find and install the ideal water filter for you.
What’s in Your Water Supply?
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 records show that above 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.
Try Installing a Filtermax Water Filtration System
The Filtermax Superior Chemical Removal Filter eliminates dirt, debris and hazardous chemicals from your tap, 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 sediment in your drinking water. Consisting of silt, sand, rust or clay, sediment is abundant and increases in the water main following heavy rainfall. While typically harmless, sediment will make your drinking water look and taste unpleasant. Filtermax includes sediment filtration to remove solids from your drinking water.
- Chlorine removal: Chlorine is crucial to clean drinking water in urban settings. Unfortunately, this disinfectant can generate harmful chemical byproducts when it reacts with naturally occurring organic and inorganic compounds in the water. A few DPBs, like trihalomethanes (THMs), are shown to cause cancer. Filtermax eliminates these carcinogens to keep your family healthy.
- Safer, cleaner, better-tasting water: Guaranteeing safe tap water is the objective 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 smells. No more earthy or chlorine flavor. No more murky water swirling around your kitchen sink. Just clean-tasting, odorless, crystal-clear water.
- Filtered water at every tap: Harmful chemicals don’t just affect you when ingested—they also absorb into your skin during a shower and stick to your clothing and dishes as you wash them. That’s why a whole-house filtration system is so worthwhile because it provides clean water from every tap.
- No operating costs or squandered water: Some whole-house filtration systems increase your electric bills. Others increase your water bills with automatic backwashing and flushing. Filtermax demonstrates that healthy water doesn’t have to come with bigger utility costs.
- Flow-through distributor: Depending on your plumbing system’s structure, you might need an upflow or downflow water filter. The Filtermax™ flow-through distributor includes both designs to satisfy 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 continue providing clean, quality drinking water for a very long time.
