Water filtration done right – 3 things you need to know

There are still some people who consider water filtration an unnecessary expense. This is wrong for various reasons. The unfiltered water that we use on a daily basis usually contains more than 80,000 different contaminants.  Some of them are known for causing various illnesses such as cancer for example. Therefore, having a high quality water filtration system in place is a necessity for every household and every person who wants to live a healthier life.

There are many different types of water filters, but if you want to be fully protected, you should consider installing a whole house water filtration system. It is not as complicated as it sounds. It’s basically a water filter which you install on your main water pipe. That way, the filter can purify all the water that reaches your house and not just the water you drink.

Here are some of the ways in which this can change your life for the better:

1.      Fresh air

The water in your house actually has a huge impact on the quality of the air you breathe simply because water evaporates or aerates whenever you turn on the water. Unfiltered water evaporates and its various chemicals mix with the air in your home and that can worsen asthma and allergy symptoms and lead to other more serious respiratory problems.

A whole house water filtration system is the only solution for air without chlorine, chloramine and other contaminants. Regular sink filters won’t do the trick because they don’t filter the water in your shower, dishwasher, washing machine and any other place you contact water.

2.      More money

The right water filter might seem a little expensive at first, but you will soon realize how much money it saves you. The fact is that many people prefer buying bottled water instead of water filters because they believe that’s the cheaper option. A water filter, however, only requires an initial investment and almost no maintenance at all after that. You will probably have to change the filter in a decade, but that’s insignificant compared to how much you will save on buying bottled water.

3.      Other health benefits

When you first buy a whole house water filter and use it for a couple of weeks you will notice a significant difference. You will no longer take showers with unfiltered water contaminated with chemicals and because of that your skin and hair will feel much better. Filtered water will help you deal with problems like dry skin. The reason for this is that the chemicals in unfiltered water are usually absorbed by the skin when you take a shower.

As you can see there are many benefits to installing aEWS whole house water filtration system in your home. Don’t worry if the price seems a little too steep in the beginning. The money you will end up saving and the obvious health benefits you can’t get with bottled water should be enough to change your mind in the right direction. This is going to be one of the best investments you will ever make.
