5 Reasons to Consider Home Water Filtration

Image

This might seem obvious, especially coming from plumbers, but water is life. Its many functions in your home sometimes might overshadow water’s primary use for humans, and that’s sustaining our lives. So, we should be drinking the purest form available to us. There’s no better way to ensure that than with a home water filtration system. Our friendly San Luis Obispo plumbers have come up with five reasons to consider a home water filtration system.

Pure Water, On-demand

A whole-house filtration system clearly means you have clean water flowing from every tap, so that’s peace of mind right there that you’re drinking, bathing in, and cleaning your dishes and laundry with clean water.

But what is being filtered out, you may ask? Well, you might not want to know, but for starters we’re talking about heavy metals like iron and rust; chemicals like chlorine, pesticides, and even arsenic; and nasty microorganisms that can wreak havoc on your digestive system. Getting those things out of your water should be reason enough to spring for a water filtration system.

Your Skin and Hair Will Thank You

Speaking of health, all those bad things in your water we just mentioned aren’t exactly good for the outside of your body, either. Think of the benefit to your skin and hair when you’re not bathing in water full of that stuff. You’ll be glowing on the inside and outside.

Extends the Lifespan of Appliances

If contaminants in your water are bad for you, think about your appliances, too. Minerals and sediment build-up can damage your plumbing system and appliances like your dishwasher, washing machine, and fixtures like faucets and showers.

A whole-house filtration system will ensure there’s filtered water largely free of these detrimental substances flowing through your appliances — improving their lifespans significantly.

Limit Bottled-water Usage

We all know the less plastic we use the better it is for the earth. But here are some sobering statistics: Americans buy 29 billion plastic water bottles every year, and only one in six is recycled. That means the rest wind up in landfills, meaning they’re overflowing with 2 million tons of discarded water bottles.

If you’re buying a pack of 24 water bottles for your family every three or four days, think of completely eliminating that waste problem with a filtration system and reusable water bottles. Besides, plastic water bottles can leach chemicals into the water, as well, and you’ll save a little money cutting that out of your budget.

You’ll Be Prepared for the Worst

We live in California, which means natural disasters like earthquakes can leave you without clean drinking water. Even a burst city sewer pipe can contaminate your water source. So, a water filtration system will add an extra layer of protection and preparedness should the worst happen.
