The Benefits of Water Filtration Systems
Hard water can impact your life in many ways. People who have allergies or skin conditions can find that hard water makes these problems worse. Hard water can also damage your hair and cause scalp problems. Limescale buildups from hard water make cleaning more difficult and can clog pipes and faucets.
Installing a water purification system will get rid of these issues. A dechlorine carbon filter will clean chlorine from your water supply and provide you with soft, clean, chemical-free water. Practical Plumbing Service can test your water and recommend a purification system for you. Contact our team in Asheboro, NC for an over-the-phone quote today.
Benefits of a Whole-Home Filtration System
An entire home water filter, also known as a whole-house water filter or point-of-entry (POE) system, is installed on the main water line entering your house. This ensures that all the water used throughout your home – for drinking, cooking, bathing, laundry, and appliances – is filtered. Here are the advantages of having such a system:
1. Comprehensive Filtration
- Treats all water: Unlike point-of-use filters (e.g., faucet filters, under-sink filters), a whole-house system filters every drop of water that enters your home.
- Multiple contaminants removed: These systems often use multiple stages of filtration to remove a wider range of contaminants, including sediment, chlorine, chloramines, heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and more, depending on the specific filters used.
2. Improved Water Quality Throughout Your Home
- Better taste and odor: Removing chlorine and other impurities significantly improves the taste and smell of your water from every tap.
- Healthier water for all uses: You'll have cleaner, safer water for drinking, cooking, and even bathing.
3. Protection for Plumbing and Appliances
- Reduces sediment buildup: Sediment, rust, and other particles can accumulate in pipes and appliances, reducing their efficiency and lifespan. A whole-house filter traps these particles.
- Prevents scale buildup: Some systems or add-on components can reduce hard water minerals (calcium and magnesium), preventing scale buildup in water heaters, dishwashers, washing machines, and faucets, extending their life and reducing the need for repairs.
- Prevents corrosion: Filtering out corrosive elements can help protect your pipes and fixtures from damage.
4. Healthier Skin and Hair
- Reduces chlorine exposure: Chlorine can dry out and irritate skin and hair. Filtered water is gentler, helping to maintain natural moisture balance.
- Better soap lather: Soft water (achieved with some whole-house systems or add-ons) allows soap to lather more effectively, leading to better cleaning and healthier skin.
5. Better Indoor Air Quality
- Reduces vaporized contaminants: When you shower or boil water, chemicals like chlorine can vaporize and be inhaled. A whole-house filter reduces these contaminants, leading to cleaner indoor air.
6. Convenience
- Filtered water at every tap: No need for separate filters on individual faucets or appliances.
- Less frequent maintenance: While filter replacements are necessary, whole-house systems often have a larger capacity and require less frequent changes than multiple point-of-use filters.
7. Environmentally Friendly
- Reduces reliance on bottled water: Having clean water from every tap can decrease your consumption of single-use plastic water bottles.
8. Peace of Mind
- Knowing that all the water entering your home is being filtered can provide peace of mind about the safety and quality of your water supply, especially if you rely on well water or have concerns about your municipal water.
9. Potential Increase in Home Value
- A whole-house water filtration system can be seen as a valuable home improvement that can increase its appeal to potential buyers.
In conclusion, an entire home water filter offers a comprehensive solution for improving water quality, protecting your home's plumbing and appliances, and promoting better health and convenience for you and your family. While the initial investment might be higher than point-of-use filters, the long-term benefits can outweigh the costs.
