The Importance of Home Water Filtration and Purification

When you use the faucet on your kitchen or bathroom sink, you anticipate clean, safe water to flow out. But even if the water seems clear, it might still contain toxic chemicals that are hazardous to your family’s health and well-being. Plenty of people don’t like the taste of contaminated tap water and grasp the risks of drinking it. That’s why half of all American families have either a home water treatment system (32 percent) or bottled water (18 percent) to ensure they have safe drinking water on hand. 

If you want to safeguard your family’s health, you may first think about trying the bottled water route. Sadly, this gets expensive almost immediately. Additionally, plastic water bottles that aren’t recycled end up contaminating the world’s waterways, harming the environment and killing marine life. 

Installing a whole-house water filtration system is more cost-effective and better for the environment than buying bottled water. It can also deliver healthier water more conveniently because you can get it right from the tap. In addition, whole-house systems supply purified water to your showers, tubs and plumbing fixtures, allowing you to maximize the benefits whereveryou use water in your home. 

Before setting up a whole-house water filtration system, learn about what’s in your water supply and how a Filtermax™ Superior Chemical Removal Filter can filter out hazardous contaminants. Then, contact Norrell Service Experts to help you find and install the right water filter for you. 

What’s in Your Drinking Water? 

Water quality fluctuates by location, but a few of the most common contaminants are: 

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

Learn what’s in your drinking water by entering your ZIP Code into the Environmental Working Group’s drinking water quality database. EWG data shows that over 80 percent of utility water supplies in North America tested positive for carcinogenic chemicals, demonstrating that regulated water quality levels may not be necessarily safe. 

Think About Installing a Filtermax Water Filtration System 

The Filtermax Superior Chemical Removal Filter traps dirt, debris and dangerous chemicals from your tap water, providing you and your family with safe, sparkling water to enjoy. Here are the advantages of this system: 

  • Sediment filtration: Cloudiness is a common sign of sediment in your drinking water. Comprised of silt, sand, rust or clay, sediment is naturally occurring and can accumulate in the water main soon after severe storms. While generally harmless, sediment will make your drinking water look and taste unpleasant. Filtermax offers sediment filtration to filter out solids from your drinking water. 
  • Chlorine removal: Chlorine is vital to clean drinking water in dense cities. However, this disinfectant also adds harmful chemical byproducts when it meets naturally occurring organic and inorganic compounds in the water. Some DPBs, like trihalomethanes (THMs), are found to cause cancer. Filtermax eliminates these carcinogens to keep your family safe. 
  • Safer, cleaner, better-tasting water: Ensuring safe tap water is the goal of installing any water filtration equipment. Besides being safer for your family to drink, filtered water also smells, tastes and looks better. No more lasting metallic or musty smells. No more earthy or chlorine taste. No more murky water swirling around your kitchen sink. Just clean-tasting, odorless, crystal-clear water. 
  • Filtered water at every tap: Harmful chemicals don’t just affect you when ingested—they also absorb into your skin during a shower and stick to your clothing and dishes as you wash them. That’s why a whole-house filtration system is so worthwhile because it guarantees clean water from every tap. 
  • No operating expenses or water going to waste: Some whole-house filtration systems add to your electric bills. Others add to your water bills with automatic backwashing and flushing. Filtermax demonstrates that safe, clean water doesn’t have to come with steeper utility costs. 
  • Flow-through distributor: Based on your plumbing system’s structure, you may need an upflow or downflow water filter. The Filtermax™ flow-through distributor features both designs to satisfy your needs. 
  • 20-year manufacturer warranty: This is the best warranty in the water treatment equipment industry! With this coverage, you know your investment will carry on providing clean, quality drinking water for a long, long time.
