Water is unarguably the most important thing we put into our bodies. When you think of drinking water you might picture clear, refreshing water pouring out of your tap. Depending on where you live, this most likely is not the case. Chemicals, pesticides, pollution, and heavy metals can potentially be flowing through your water. Thankfully, there are whole home water filters that can supply you with fresh, healthy drinking water for a reasonable cost.
What are the benefits of water filtration?
- It’s beneficial to your health. Water filtration can remove many harsh chemicals like pesticides, heavy metals, and chlorine from your water. These chemicals can be damaging to your body over a long period of time. Water can also contain harmful bacteria such as giardia and cryptosporidium. These harmful microorganisms can cause a person to get sick from ingestion.
- It tastes better. Even though municipal tap water is usually safe to consume, it can still contain heavy metals, chlorine, bacteria, and pesticides. This can greatly affect the taste of your water. It can also make your water look cloudy and give off an unappealing smell. A whole-home water filtration system can rid the water of these contaminants and give you a refreshing taste and look.
- It helps protect the environment. Some people might go out and buy bottled water when they want a clean, refreshing alternative to their tap water. This can be environmentally expensive. Drinking bottled water fills our local dumps and can possibly contaminate the ocean. This is very damaging to the environment. Instead, using a water filtration system can eliminate the need to buy bottled water and help keep plastic out of our oceans and landfills.
How to find the right whole home water filter.
Before purchasing a water filtration system, you need to find out how the water in your home is treated.
- Chloramine treated water is an aggressive disinfectant. This disinfectant can be more difficult to treat and can have effects on lead or copper pipes. The 1,000,000 Gallon Rhino is one of the most effective filters to remove chloramine and chlorine. It also filters VOCs, radon, heavy metal, and other chemicals. This Chloramine/chlorine filter can last up to 1,000,000 gallons, depending on what model you purchase.
- Chlorine treated water has a very distinct taste and smell. You should be able to easily detect it in your water. The OptimH20 Whole House Filter System not only tackles chlorine and chloramine but it also is the first of its kind to be certified to reduce more than 99% of cysts and lead and 98% of PFOA/PFOS. This system is top of its kind when it comes to removing the chemicals used in pesticides and lead. This system can last up to 100,000 gallons.
- If your home’s water comes from a well, it must always be filtered. Contaminants from well water can cause many illnesses ranging from stomach viruses to neurological disorders. The Well Water Rhino filtration system kills 99.99% of all viruses and bacteria that can possibly be contained in well water. It uses KDF 85 and catalytic carbon to filter hydrogen sulfide, iron, bacteria, algae, sulfur, scale, and volatile organic compounds. This system can last up to 500,000 gallons
