How does your home’s drinking water taste? If it’s not excellent and fresh, consider installing a filtration system. Improving the quality of your home’s drinking water makes it convenient and affordable for you to stay refreshed. Learn four reasons to get a home drinking water filtration system.
1. Drink Safe Water
The number one reason to install a filtration system is to make your household water safe to drink. Contaminated water can cause sickness. Have one of our professionals assess your plumbing system and test for contaminants such as chlorine, iron, sulfur, and more. After that, we’ll install a contaminant-specific filter to clean your water supply and give you access to healthy drinking water in your home.
2. Improve Your Home Water’s Taste
The second reason to get a drinking water filtration system in your home is that you’re likely to consume more water which will help you maintain your health. That’s because contaminated water can taste, look, and smell unappetizing.
It’s important to note that sometimes water contaminated with harmful substances, such as bacteria or nitrates, doesn’t taste bad. And sometimes, water that tastes bad doesn’t contain contaminants that harm your health. But no one wants to drink cloudy water that tastes bad.
3. Reduce Waste
Many Americans with poor drinking water at home choose to buy water in plastic bottles. The manufacturing process of single-use plastic bottles harms the environment, and after use, these bottles are often thrown into landfills.
Even if you try to recycle your plastic bottles, most plastic bottles are “downcycled.” This means plastic bottles become lower-quality plastic items that typically can’t be recycled again. This happens because of factors such as recycling cost and plastic degradation over time. You help the environment by reducing waste when you forego plastic bottles altogether.
4. Save Money
Finally, your water filtration system can save you money. It’s more affordable to drink water from home rather than buy packaged water.
Filtering out contaminants and hard minerals can reduce your plumbing system’s wear and tear. Contaminants can cause corrosion or build-up in your pipes and damage your water-reliant appliances, such as your washer and dishwasher. Treat your water to avoid the recurring costs of bottled water and the high costs of plumbing and appliance repair.
