The Importance of Home Water Filtration and Purification

When you use the faucet on your kitchen or bathroom sink, you expect clean, safe water to flow out. But even if the water appears clear, it could still carry toxic chemicals that present a risk to your family’s health and safety. Many people don’t like the taste of polluted tap water and understand the risk of drinking it. That’s why half of all American families use either a home water treatment system (32 percent) or bottled water (18 percent) to make sure they have safe drinking water nearby. 

If you want to ensure your family’s well-being, you may first think about trying the bottled water plan. But of course, this gets costly fast. In addition, plastic water bottles that don’t get recycled end up polluting the world’s waterways, disrupting the environment and hurting marine life. 

Installing a whole-house water filtration system is more practical and better for the environment than buying bottled water. It can also provide healthier water more easily because you can get it directly from the tap. What’s more, whole-house systems provide purified water to your showers, tubs and plumbing appliances, enabling you to capitalize on the benefits anywhereyou use water in your home. 

Before installing a whole-house water filtration system, find out what’s in your water and how a Filtermax™ Superior Chemical Removal Filter can eliminate harmful contaminants. Then, choose Bryant Heating & Cooling Service Experts to help you pick out and install the ideal water filter for you. 

What’s in Your Water Supply? 

Water quality fluctuates by location, but several of the most likely contaminants are: 

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

Learn what’s in your water supply by entering your ZIP Code into the Environmental Working Group’s drinking water quality database. EWG records show that greater than 80 percent of utility water supplies in North America have tested positive for carcinogenic chemicals, illustrating that lawful water quality levels are not necessarily safe. 

Try Installing a Filtermax Water Filtration System 

The Filtermax Superior Chemical Removal Filter eliminates dirt, debris and dangerous chemicals from your tap, furnishing you and your family with safe, sparkling water to drink. Here are the benefits of this system: 

• Sediment filtration: Cloudiness is a common sign of sediment in your drinking water. Composed of silt, sand, rust or clay, sediment is abundant and can accumulate in the water main soon after heavy rainfall. While typically harmless, sediment will make your drinking water look and taste unpleasant. Filtermax provides sediment filtration to clear out solids from your drinking water. 
• Chlorine removal: Chlorine is vital to clean drinking water in urban settings. However, this disinfectant creates hazardous chemical byproducts when it mixes with naturally occurring organic and inorganic materials in the water. Certain DPBs, such as trihalomethanes (THMs), are shown to cause cancer. Filtermax eliminates these carcinogens to keep your family healthy. 

• Safer, cleaner, better-tasting water: Guaranteeing safe tap water is the objective 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 smells. No more earthy or chlorine flavor. No more murky water swirling around your glass. Just clean-tasting, odorless, crystal-clear water. 
• Filtered water for every tap: Harmful chemicals don’t just affect you when ingested—they also absorb into your skin during a shower and adhere to your clothing and dishes as you wash them. That’s why a whole-house filtration system is so beneficial because it provides clean water from every tap. 
• No operating costs or squandered water: Some whole-house filtration systems raise your electric bills. Others increase your water bills with automatic backwashing and flushing. Filtermax proves that safe, clean water doesn’t have to bring bigger utility costs. 
• Flow-through distributor: Depending on your plumbing system’s configuration, you could need an upflow or downflow water filter. The Filtermax™ flow-through distributor contains 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 can be sure your investment will continue providing clean, quality drinking water for a very long time.
