With polluted water sources and contaminants in drinking water becoming more of a concern, many people are installing home water filtration systems. Filtering your water removes bacteria, heavy metals and chemicals from the water. Think of the hassle of having the water you drink and use tested regularly. The safest and simplest solution is to use filtered water by investing in an advanced home water filtration system. With these 8 super benefits of installing a home filter system, it’s no wonder why so many people have been making this investment!
Have Safer Drinking Water
When you filter your water, you know that it is safe to consume, as opposed to the municipal tap water that comes straight from the water treatment facilities. Contaminants and chemicals in tap water can include copper, chlorine and fluoride. When you have an advanced home water filtration system, these chemicals, other impurities, and most of the 2,100 known toxins in drinking water are removed.
Protect the Environment
With clean water directly from the tap, you can safely refill reusable water bottles rather than relying on plastic bottles of water on your weekly grocery list. With a home water filtration system, you will not be adding more rubbish into landfills. On average, it will take 450 years for plastic bottles to disintegrate.
Minimize Skin Conditions
Do you have psoriasis and/or eczema? Heavy metals, fluoride, and chlorine in tap water can aggravate skin conditions, especially in children. With a home water filtration system, these chemicals are filtered out not only of your drinking water, but the water you shower and wash your hands and clothing with. It can prevent irritation and flare-ups and may even resolve your skin issues entirely.
Cost Savings
In addition to the environmental benefits of swapping bottled water for tap water, you’ll save money. For example, if there are four members in your household and each of you drinks three 16.9 ounce bottles of water each day, you’ll be able to save about $700 annually. This assumes you buy an average-priced 24 pack of water bottles at a cost around $5.00. If you install a reverse osmosis home water filtration system, it only costs a few hundred dollars, on average. A new filter is required annually at an average cost of $50-80.
Reduce Plumbing Repair Bills
Heavy metals, minerals, and chemicals can not only wreak havoc on the human body, but it can also damage your plumbing system. Not only are the pipes themselves impacted, but home appliances that use water as well. These appliances include your water dispenser, refrigerator ice maker, garbage disposal, dishwasher, and washing machine.
Improve the Taste of Your Drinking Water
Not only is filtered water healthier to consume, but water filters can remove elements that cause your drinking water to have an unpleasant taste and smell. As a result, you’ll notice the improved purity, taste, and smell of your drinking water. You may even drink more water as a result!
Reduce the Risk of Gastrointestinal Diseases
Did you know several parasites and many microscopic organisms can live in sources of water that have not been treated properly? Parasites that can cause intestinal and digestive problems are removed by a home water filtration system. That’s good news not only for your family but your pets as well!
Reduce Soap Scum and Deposits
Over time, the chemicals in unclean tap water can leave deposits on your clothes and even your dishes, shower, and other spots around the house
