The Importance of Home Water Filtration and Purification

When you run the faucet on your kitchen or bathroom sink, you anticipate clean, safe water to flow out. But even if your water appears clear, it could still contain toxic chemicals that present a risk to your family’s health and safety. Plenty of people dislike the taste of polluted tap water and grasp the risk of drinking it. That’s why half of all American households keep either a home water treatment system (32 percent) or bottled water (18 percent) to ensure they have safe drinking water at home. 

If you want to ensure your family’s health, you might first think about going the bottled water approach. Sadly, this gets costly soon. Additionally, plastic water bottles that aren’t recycled end up polluting the world’s waterways, causing harm to the environment and killing marine life. 

Setting up a whole-house water filtration system is more cost-effective and better for the environment than using so much bottled water. It may also supply healthier water much more easily because you can get it straight from the tap. Additionally, whole-house systems supply purified water to your showers, tubs and plumbing appliances, allowing you to capitalize on the benefits whereveryou use water in your home. 

Before putting in a whole-house water filter, learn what’s in your water supply and how a Filtermax™ Superior Chemical Removal Filter can eliminate unhealthy contaminants. Then, get in touch with Norrell Service Experts to help you find and install the right water filter for you. 

What’s in Your Water Supply? 

Water quality fluctuates by location, but some of the most likely contaminants include: 

  • Heavy metals 
  • Chlorine 
  • Lead 
  • Industrial chemicals 
  • Disinfection byproducts (DBPs) 

Learn what could be in your drinking water by entering your ZIP Code into the Environmental Working Group’s drinking water quality database. EWG data shows that above 80 percent of utility water supplies in North America tested positive for carcinogenic chemicals, demonstrating that regulated water quality levels may not be necessarily safe. 

Consider Installing a Filtermax Water Filtration System 

The Filtermax Superior Chemical Removal Filter filters out dirt, debris and harmful chemicals from your tap, furnishing you and your family with safe, clean water to drink. Here are the perks of this system: 

  • Sediment filtration: Cloudiness is a frequent sign of contaminants in your drinking water. Comprised of silt, sand, rust or clay, sediment naturally occurs and increases in the water main following heavy rainfall. While typically harmless, sediment will make your drinking water appear and taste unpleasant. Filtermax provides sediment filtration to filter out solids from your drinking water. 
  • Chlorine removal: Chlorine is the key to clean drinking water in urban settings. Sadly, this disinfectant creates hazardous chemical byproducts when it mixes with naturally occurring organic and inorganic substances in the water. Certain DPBs, such as trihalomethanes (THMs), are known to cause cancer. Filtermax eliminates these carcinogens to keep your family healthy. 
  • Safer, cleaner, better-tasting water: Ensuring safe tap water is the goal of adding putting in any water filtration system. Besides being healthier for your family to enjoy, filtered water also smells, tastes and looks better. No more lingering metallic or musty scents. No more earthy or chlorine taste. No more cloudy water swirling around your kitchen sink. Just clean-tasting, odorless, crystal-clear water. 
  • Filtered water for every tap: Hazardous chemicals don’t just impact you when ingested—they also absorb into your skin as you shower and cling to your clothing and dishes as you wash them. That’s why a whole-house filtration system is so helpful because it ensures clean water from every tap. 
  • No operating expenses or squandered water: Some whole-house filtration systems add to your electric bills. Others increase your water bills with automatic backwashing and flushing. Filtermax illustrates that clean water doesn’t have to come with higher utility costs. 
  • Flow-through distributor: Based on your plumbing system’s structure, you may need an upflow or downflow water filter. The Filtermax™ flow-through distributor features both designs to accommodate your needs. 
  • 20-year manufacturer warranty: This is the best warranty 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.
