When you use the faucet on your kitchen or bathroom sink, you anticipate clean, healthy water to flow out. But even if the water seems clear, it could still carry toxic chemicals that present a risk to your family’s health and safety. A lot of people dislike the taste of contaminated tap water and recognize the risk 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 healthy drinking water on hand.
If you want to protect your family’s health, you might first think about going the bottled water approach. But of course, this gets costly fast. Additionally, plastic water bottles that aren't recyclable end up contaminating the world’s waterways, causing harm to the environment and hurting marine life.
Setting up a whole-house water filtration system is more cost-effective and healthier for the environment than buying bottled water. It will also provide healthier water much more easily because you can get it directly from the tap. Additionally, whole-house systems send purified water to your showers, tubs and plumbing appliances, allowing you to maximize the benefits everywhere you use water in your home.
Before putting in a whole-house water filter, learn what’s in your water and how a Filtermax™ Superior Chemical Removal Filter can clear out hazardous contaminants. Then, choose Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning to help you find and install the best water filter for you.
What’s in Your Water Supply?
Water quality varies by location, but some of the most likely contaminants include:
- Heavy metals
- Chlorine
- Lead
- Industrial chemicals
- Disinfection byproducts (DBPs)
Learn what’s 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 at one point tested positive for carcinogenic chemicals, demonstrating that legal water quality levels may not be necessarily safe.
Try Installing a Filtermax Water Filtration System
The Filtermax Superior Chemical Removal Filter traps dirt, debris and hazardous chemicals from your faucets, providing you and your family with safe, sparkling water to enjoy. Here are the advantages of this system:
- Sediment filtration: Cloudiness is a frequent sign of sediment in your drinking water. Comprised of silt, sand, rust or clay, sediment is abundant and can become concentrated in the water main after heavy rains. While typically harmless, sediment will make your drinking water look 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 environments like cities. Unfortunately, this disinfectant can generate harmful 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: Ensuring safe tap water is the objective 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 constant metallic or musty smells. No more earthy or chlorine flavor. No more murky water swirling around your glass. Just clean-tasting, odorless, crystal-clear water.
- Filtered water to every tap: Hazardous chemicals don’t just threaten you when ingested—they also absorb into your skin during a shower and adhere to your clothing and dishes as you wash them. That’s why a whole-house filtration system is so beneficial because it guarantees clean water from every tap.
- No operating expenses or wasted water: Some whole-house filtration systems raise your electric bills. Others raise your water bills with automatic backwashing and flushing. Filtermax proves that healthy water doesn’t have to include bigger utility costs.
- Flow-through distributor: Depending on your plumbing system’s structure, you could need an upflow or downflow water filter. The Filtermax™ flow-through distributor features both designs to satisfy your needs.
- 20-year manufacturer warranty: This is one of the best warranties in the water treatment equipment industry! With this coverage, you know your investment will carry on providing clean, quality drinking water for a very long time.
