While the water that pours through your taps at home is generally safe to use and drink, it often has to travel through several miles of pipes loaded with chlorine, iron, sulfur, lead and manganese to get there. This chemical journey is not only potentially bad for your health, but can also potentially cause damage to your home’s plumbing system and appliances—from dishwashers to washing machines. Fortunately, there’s a way to ensure your home’s water supply is completely safe and chemical free: installing a water filtration system. This article will introduce you to four benefits of installing a water filtration system in your home:
1. Kitchen Benefits
The heart of the home, the kitchen is one of the most frequently used rooms in everyone’s house; the food your and your family consumes can all be found here. That’s why it’s important to make sure that everything you consume in your kitchen is safe, fresh and tastes great. A water filtration system purifies drinking water of chemicals, improving the taste of the produce you wash and the food you prepare, as well as enhancing the taste, lifespan and cleanliness of the ice in your freezer.
2. Bathroom Benefits
Having a water filtration system in your home can also enhance your showering experience, taking bathing to an entirely new level. By removing toxins from the water, your shampoo and soap will lather better, and residue will no longer be left on your hair or skin. With a water filtration system, your body will be left feeling softer and cleaner than ever before.
3. Laundry Benefits
By reducing the mineral deposits in your plumbing, water filtration systems allow your appliances to last longer and run cleaner. Your washing machine will require less detergent to wash your clothing, and your clothes will not only look brighter and cleaner but also feel better on your skin.
4. Economic Benefits
There are a number of short and long-term economic benefits of having a water filtration system in your home—from reducing detergent costs to alleviating the need to purchase bottled water. Bottled water has gotten more and more expensive over the years, and you’ll be glad to be rid of the expense. Plus, by reducing your carbon footprint, you’ll be saving green and going “green” at the same time. Better tasting water, healthier skin and a noticeable drop in home costs are all great reasons to purchase a water filtration system.
