Think You Know How to Keep Your Water Clean?

Using individual “Pour-in” water filters is smart for drinking purposes, after all saving more money is always better right? Right? Here at Allore’s Plumbing Services, we know that is not true.

You see the problem begins with the simple fact that we don’t just drink water, we shower, clean clothes, wash cars, water plants, brush our teeth, give our pets their drinks… The list can honestly go on!

Having only ONE source of healthy clean water does not rid you of all the possible risks you are taking everywhere else. There is always a way to pay for what we do not do correctly, a penalty you may say. And to be honest, the outcomes of just ignoring a hardwater problem can and will, cause bigger health issues down the road.

What Exactly Are The Health Implications?

Chemically speaking hardwater is known for having higher levels of calcium and magnesium. When these enter your body, they can affect many different areas since we, as a species, entirely depend upon water’s hydration.

Drinking water that has not gone through a softening process heightens the possibilities of having cardiovascular problems, reproductive difficulties, earlier Alzheimer’s, and even cancer.

Because of the change of ph that it causes in our bodies, the central nervous system might find itself affected as well. Malformations are common, especially in the offspring of people who consume hardwater.

The ramifications of not maintaining a safe environment at home are simply too big to not consider. Are you willing to invest in your health, longevity, and that of your family’s? Our team believes you should!
