We all need clean water running through our houses. You use it for everything like drinking, cooking, showering, and even washing your clothes. But, let’s think about it, without clean water, you couldn’t do any of those things. So, if you’d like to learn more about water purification and filtration and why we need it, then look no further! Our plumbing professionals at Bellbrook Plumbing & Drain will help you understand the different forms of water filtration and help you choose the best source of water filtration for you, your home, and your family.
Should Your Water Be Filtered?
Unfiltered water can be filled with metals, chemicals, pesticides, and parasites. So, naturally, no one wants to put those dangerous toxins into their bodies. But, most of us are probably wondering, “Isn’t my tap water already filtered?” Well, technically, yes. However, it goes through a rigorous filtration cycle before it makes its way into your pipes. But harmful metals and toxins can be reintroduced as it runs through your home. You may have heard that boiling your water will kill all the chemicals and bacteria living in your water, but unfortunately, this is a myth. So, keep in mind that the water you use daily must go through a more thorough filtration system for our water to be safe to consume.
Is It Necessary To Have Whole House Filtration?
Technically, no, but toxins from your water can be inhaled and even absorbed through the skin. Meaning, that if you don’t have filtered water in every spout of your home, you could be in danger of putting unhealthy chemicals into your body. So, when you take a shower, wear the clothes you just washed, or let your kids run through the sprinkler, wouldn’t it be nice knowing that no matter where your water comes from, is safe. That’s why our plumbing professionals deem it necessary to have clean, filtered water throughout every spout in your home.
Does My Water Need To Be Softened?
Did you know that Hard water can damage your pipes, causing them to become corroded and, eventually, break down? Not to mention, it will dry out your skin, and hair, and it can even cause damage to your appliances that use water to function. This includes your washing machine, refrigerator, and dishwasher. On top of that, hard water requires you to use more soap and detergent to get your clothes, dishes, and your body clean. Therefore, using water softeners throughout your home can release calcium and magnesium from your water, making it softer and more pure.
Nevertheless, we are fortunate enough to live in a country where water filtration and purification are readily available and at our disposal. Don’t forget that although our water is filtered, it doesn’t mean it’s always clean enough to safely consume. This is why a home purification system is just the type of investment you need to give you peace of mind. Letting you rest knowing that you, your home, and your family are consuming safe, uncontaminated water throughout your home. At Bellbrook Plumbing & Drain, we’ll help you choose the right options in water filtration to keep your family happy and healthy.
