Reasons Every Home Should Have a Water Filter Installed This Summer
Summer is here, and soon everyone will need fresh, clean water to quench their thirst and recuperate after being in the hot summer sun. And while most tap water is technically safe to drink, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have its risks. Those who rely solely on municipal water processing facilities may experience a few unpleasant surprises. But one can easily prevent those surprises with the installation of a quality water filtration system. So read on to find out about the benefits of installing a water filtration system in the home.
Improves the Taste of Everything
The first and most immediate benefit of installing a water filtration system is the improved taste of the water. Even if tap water is perfectly safe, it can have a few strange tastes that can make drinking a less-than-pleasant experience. But with a water filter, those tastes are easily eliminated.
And since water is such a big part of everyday lives, that improved taste transfers to other popular beverages. The lemonade that is such a big part of summer tastes better when made with filtered water. So does coffee, tea, and any other drink made with the home’s water. Food cooked in the water also tastes better. But improving taste isn’t the only thing a filter does.
Removes Dangerous Chemicals
A good home filtration system - whether under-sink or whole home - removes dangerous chemicals that can end up in the home’s water supply. Most of the time, there’s no way to know if there are trace amounts of these harmful chemicals in the water. But with a filter, there’s no guessing. Household members can drink and bathe with confidence.
Agricultural chemicals like insecticides and pesticides can contaminate the water supply. So can aluminum, ammonia, arsenic, chromium, and copper. If not removed, these chemicals can cause health problems in the long term. But when there’s a quality water filter, these contaminants are removed from the water supply.
Helps Detoxify the Body
Those homes with water filters also tend to consume more water, and drinking enough water is essential for optimal health and maintaining a proper pH balance in the body. Many water filters remove nearly all (99%) toxins and harmful bacteria while leaving good minerals in the water that the body needs. Some filters even add positive minerals to help the body stay healthy and fully hydrated through summer and beyond!
Whole-home filters are the best option for protecting and cleaning the entire home’s water supply, but under-sink filters are an excellent option for those who want clean water in the kitchen.
