Benefits of Water Filtration Systems in the Home

Plumbing

When we turn on the faucets in our home, we often assume that the water coming out will be of the best quality. However, not all water that flows through the pipes in our home may be as fresh and good tasting as it should be. Fortunately, water filtration systems installed in the home can help turn subpar water into a clean and delicious drinking option. As you consider adding a single faucet water filter or whole house water filtration system to your home, here’s some information on what water filtration systems do, how they work, and the benefits of these filter setups. 

 

What is a Water Filtration System?

A water filtration system removes impurities from the water that runs in your home. The water filtration system may be a single faucet water filter, known as a point-of-use water filter, or a whole house water filter system, also called a point-of-entry water filter. Both water filtration systems work to provide clean filtered water however one provides water filtration on a single faucet while the other offers removal of water impurities for every faucet and water entry point in the home. 

 

How Does a Water Filtration System Work?

The water filtration system works in different ways depending on the type of water filter that you have in your house. For example, a single faucet water filter removes impurities from the water out of that specific faucet while a whole house water filtration system has the filter at the point of the main water line into the home and will remove impurities from all water that enters the home. There are also different types of whole house water filters. For example, an activated carbon filter will run the water through a natural material and prevent impurities from getting to your water faucet. On the other hand, a reverse osmosis filter will clean the water by using high pressure to push it through the filter. There are also certain water filtration add-ons that you can include in your water filtration system, such as a KDF filter that prevents microorganisms like algae from getting into your water and UV filters that use ultraviolet light to remove harmful bacteria and fungi.

 

Benefits of a Water Filtration System

A water filtration system in your home offers many benefits including the following: 

 

Safe Drinking Water

Water filters remove contaminants from the water in your house, so you can rest easy knowing the water you and your family consume is safe. Water filtration systems filter out contaminants from the water and if you have a whole house water filtration system, the water that comes through all faucets and water lines in your home has been properly filtered and is ready to drink.

 

Good Tasting Drinking Water

Filtration systems also result in better tasting water so you’ll want to fill up that glass of water throughout the day to remain healthy and hydrated, while enjoying the overall taste. It’s much easier to drink water that tastes good and is filtered as opposed to water that’s less than palatable.  

 

Promotes Softer Skin and Healthy Hair

When you use tap water from your faucet, this water source may have chemicals in it that haven’t been properly filtered out. A whole house water filtration system filters all water that enters your home, including the water that flows out of the tub and shower faucets. Filtered water helps to keep your skin soft and promotes healthier hair due to it not having the chemicals in it.

 

Clothing Remains Soft and Colors Stay Vibrant

Chlorine-contaminated water and hard water can affect the condition of your clothing that goes through the washing machine. Whole house water filters help to filter the chemicals out of the washing machine water and promote a better overall condition of your clothing. 

 

Filtered Water is Easier on Household Appliances

When you use filtered water in your washing machine and other household appliances, this type of water helps these items to work better and last longer. The filtered water will be gentler on the appliances than regular public tap water that may have chemicals and contaminants in it.
