With rising levels of contaminants in the supplies today, whole house water treatment is fast becoming a necessity rather than a luxury. Find out how they can help you and what to look for to select the right system for you.
While a counter top filter is a good option, increasingly whole house water treatment systems are being used in homes throughout the US as more people become aware of the dangers associated with cooking, showering and washing in unfiltered water.
These filters ensure all of the water you use is healthy and pure. When you shower for example, your pores open up and absorb more harmful toxins than if you drank a glass of unfiltered water.
The chlorine in the supply is converted to chloroform gas and is easily taken into the body. This can result in breathing disorders like asthma and bronchitis as well as cancer.
If all your supply is pure, it also means that harmful chemicals are prevented from embedding in clothing in the laundry, and this lessens the amount of detergent needed in both laundry and dishwashing.
Water treatment equipment like this should take no more than 2 hours to fit by a plumber with a cartridge change needed only every 3-5 years.
With such a vast array of whole house water filters on offer, how do you select the best one?
In essence, this is quite simple because there is only one type that can remove all of today's harmful chemicals like pesticides, pharmaceuticals, chlorine, lead, VOCs and THMs.
It is called an activated granular carbon filter and the best models can remove 99% of the contaminants while improving the taste and smell significantly.
Look for certified and independent verification that the filter can do what it says it can as many companies make up wild claims about their products!
The trick is to look for certified components vs. a certified product. If the product itself is not certified, you have no way of knowing what you are getting,
By filtering all the water you use, you can gain the peace of mind that comes from knowing you are doing everything possible to protect the health and future well-being of your family from the modern menace of harmful chemicals in the supply.
