The Importance of Home Water Filtration and Purification

When you use the faucet on your kitchen or bathroom sink, you expect clean, safe water to flow out. But even if your water appears clear, it may still contain toxic chemicals that are hazardous to your family’s health and well-being. A lot of people do not like the taste of contaminated tap water and understand the risks of drinking it. That’s why half of all American homes use either a home water treatment system (32 percent) or bottled water (18 percent) to guarantee they have clean drinking water nearby.

If you want to safeguard your family’s health, you might first consider continuing the bottled water plan. Sadly, this gets expensive almost immediately. In addition, plastic water bottles that aren't recyclable end up polluting the world’s waterways, harming the environment and hurting marine life.

Installing a whole-house water filtration system is more practical and healthier for the environment than buying bottled water. It can also provide healthier water much more easily because you can get it right from the tap. In addition, whole-house systems provide purified water to your showers, tubs and plumbing fixtures, helping you to make the most of the benefits anywhere you use water in your home.

Before installing a whole-house water filter, learn what’s in your drinking water and how a Filtermax™ Superior Chemical Removal Filter can eliminate hazardous contaminants. Then, get in touch with Service Experts to help you choose and install the best water filter for you.

What’s in Your Water Supply?

Water quality fluctuates by location, but a few of the most common contaminants are:

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

Learn what could be in your home's tap water by entering your ZIP Code into the Environmental Working Group’s drinking water quality database. EWG records show that over 80 percent of utility water supplies in North America tested positive for carcinogenic chemicals, demonstrating that lawful water quality levels aren't necessarily safe.

Think About Installing a Filtermax Water Filtration System

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

  • Sediment filtration: Cloudiness is a common sign of debris in your drinking water. Composed of silt, sand, rust or clay, sediment is abundant and can become concentrated in the water main after heavy rainfall. While typically harmless, sediment can make your drinking water look and taste unpleasant. Filtermax offers sediment filtration to clear out solids from your drinking water.
  • Chlorine removal: Chlorine is crucial to clean drinking water in urban environments like cities. However, this disinfectant creates dangerous chemical byproducts when it reacts with naturally occurring organic and inorganic materials in the water. Certain DPBs, including trihalomethanes (THMs), are known to cause cancer. Filtermax eliminates these carcinogens to protect your family.
  • Safer, cleaner, better-tasting water: Providing safe tap water is the objective of adding putting in any water filtration solution. Besides being cleaner for your family to enjoy, filtered water also smells, tastes and looks better. No more constant metallic or musty odors. No more earthy or chlorine taste. No more cloudy water swirling around your kitchen sink. Just clean-tasting, odorless, crystal-clear water.
  • Filtered water for every tap: Harmful chemicals don’t just threaten you when ingested—they also absorb into your skin as 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 ensures 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 clean water doesn’t have to come with higher utility costs.
  • Flow-through distributor: Based on your plumbing system’s structure, you may need an upflow or downflow water filter. The Filtermax™ flow-through distributor contains 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 can be sure your investment will keep providing clean, quality drinking water for a very long time.
