The Importance of Home Water Filtration and Purification

When you run the faucet on your kitchen or bathroom sink, you expect clean, healthy water to flow out. But even if your water looks clear, it might still be hiding toxic chemicals that present a risk to your family’s health and well-being. A lot of people don’t like the taste of tainted tap water and recognize the consequences 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 make sure they have clean drinking water at home. 

If you want to ensure your family’s well-being, you might first think about continuing the bottled water plan. Unfortunately, this gets expensive almost immediately. Plus, plastic water bottles that don’t get recycled end up contaminating the world’s waterways, causing harm to the environment and killing marine life. 

Setting up a whole-house water filtration system is more cost-effective and better for the environment than buying bottled water. It can also provide healthier water more easily because you can get it straight from the tap. What’s more, whole-house systems provide purified water to your showers, tubs and plumbing appliances, helping you to capitalize on the benefits everywhereyou use water in your home. 

Before installing a whole-house water filter, find out what’s in your drinking water and how a Filtermax™ Superior Chemical Removal Filter can filter out unhealthy contaminants. Then, get in touch with 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 some of the most common contaminants are: 

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

Learn what could be in your drinking water by entering your ZIP Code into the Environmental Working Group’s drinking water quality database. EWG files show that greater than 80 percent of utility water supplies in North America at one point tested positive for carcinogenic chemicals, demonstrating that legal water quality levels are not necessarily safe. 

Consider Installing a Filtermax Water Filtration System 

The Filtermax Superior Chemical Removal Filter filters out dirt, debris and dangerous chemicals from your tap, furnishing you and your family with safe, clean water to drink. Here are the advantages of this system: 

• Sediment filtration: Cloudiness is a common sign of contaminants in your drinking water. Comprised of silt, sand, rust or clay, sediment is naturally occurring and can accumulate in the water main soon after severe storms. While generally harmless, sediment will make your drinking water appear and taste unpleasant. Filtermax provides sediment filtration to clear out solids from your drinking water. 
• Chlorine removal: Chlorine is vital to clean drinking water in urban settings. Unfortunately, this disinfectant also adds harmful chemical byproducts when it reacts with naturally occurring organic and inorganic materials in the water. Certain DPBs, including trihalomethanes (THMs), are shown to cause cancer. Filtermax removes these carcinogens to keep your family safe. 

• Safer, cleaner, better-tasting water: Ensuring safe tap water is the goal of adding putting in any water filtration equipment. Besides being safer for your family to enjoy, filtered water also smells, tastes and looks better. No more lingering metallic or musty scents. No more earthy or chlorine taste. No more muddy 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 provides clean water from every tap. 
• No operating expenses or water going to waste: Some whole-house filtration systems raise your electric bills. Others add to your water bills with automatic backwashing and flushing. Filtermax proves that clean water doesn’t have to include higher utility costs. 
• Flow-through distributor: Based on your plumbing system’s configuration, you could 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 know your investment will continue providing clean, quality drinking water for a very long time.
