10 Benefits of an Advanced Water Filtration System

As we have learned from Flint, Michigan and other locales throughout the United States, your municipal water may not be as clean as local authorities claim it is. Installing an advanced water filtration system offers several key benefits that can improve your health and the lifespan of your plumbing.

1. Clean Water from Every Tap

Many people have a filtration system on their kitchen faucet. However, this is not the only place in a typical Stuart home where people get water.

Most people rinse their mouths after brushing their teeth with water from a bathroom sink; in addition, children and others may occasional refill a water glass there.

Installing an advanced water filtration system ensures that only the highest quality filtered water comes out of every faucet in your Stuart home.

2. Reduced Chlorine

Chlorine is used to decontaminate water in the public supply. This is helpful in large reservoirs but can have negative effects when this chlorinated water is coming out of every tap in your home. Chlorine in your water evaporates into your air, leaving a slightly bleach-like smell that is unpleasant.

In addition, who wants to breathe or drink a dangerous chemical such as chlorine in any amount? Chlorine in your water can also gradually damage your clothing, your plumbing system, and other items that are continuously exposed to tap water.

3. Alleviate Asthma and Allergies

Chlorine and other water additives can make asthma and allergies worse, as can tiny amounts of mildew spores and other things present in unfiltered tap water. Not only can asthma and allergies be exacerbated by drinking this water, but by bathing in it as well. A whole house filtration system removes these allergens from the water you drink and bathe in for a healthier, happier family.

4. Thoroughly Clean Water for Bathing and Showering

Bathing in unclean water can be as much of a health hazard as drinking it. Your skin is your body’s largest organ, so exposing it to chemicals, microbes, and toxins can have serious health effects.

In addition, many people (especially children) inadvertently swallow some of the water used to shower and bathe. Installing an advanced water filtration system ensures that the water from your bathrooms is healthy and pure.

5. Lead and Other Metals

Public water safety standards allow a certain amount of metals in drinking water. These may be unsafe over a lifetime of use. In addition, children, pets, and other small animals are likely to suffer the effects of metal poisoning from a much smaller dose than larger animals and adults. Why not cut that exposure, however minimal, down to zero?

6. Mineral Residues

If you have hard or soft water, there are minerals in your water. Over time, these can build up and do serious damage to your plumbing. These minerals also leave deposits that must be scrubbed off of sinks and bathtubs. They can leave films on your clothing and your dishes. A water filtration system will keep your plumbing healthy for a longer time while reducing your cleaning work.

7. Reduced Cancer Risk

Not only can heavy metals cause an increase in serious illnesses such as cancer, but other minerals and additives in your water can do so as well. Filtering your water will keep your family and pets healthier over the long term. The risks of lifelong exposure to tiny and ostensibly safe levels of chemicals simply haven’t been thoroughly studied.

8. No More Germs in Your Water!

Public drinking water supplies are generally kept safe, but there are occasional water reservoir related outbreaks of cryptosporidium and other bacteria that cause serious illness in humans and animals. Filtering your water, including the water you bathe in, reducing your chances of being caught in one of these outbreaks to almost nil.

9. Better Taste

Filtered water (and ice made from this water) just tastes and looks better. It is clear and delicious, with no clouding or chlorine smell. This superior aesthetic sense often encourages people to drink more water, which is a healthy habit for lifelong well-being. If you are struggling to drink more water, or get your loved ones to do so, why not make this water as appealing and refreshing as possible?

10. Breakdowns in Public Sanitation

Unfortunately, we only find out that public sanitation systems are not working as intended after people become ill from drinking or bathing in the water. Depending on these public systems to work as intended without fail puts your family and loved ones at risk. Advanced water filter installation is an affordable way of adding an extra layer of protection to ensure clean drinking water.
