Water Safety Starts at Home: How Water Filtration Systems Protect Your Family
Whole home water filtration systems protect your family from contaminants flowing into your home daily. Whether your home water comes from a municipal water system, community well, private well on your property or somewhere else contaminants including lead, pesticides and more are present in most water systems. You can reduce your families’ exposure to contaminants by installing a state-of-the-art water filtration system in your home.
Removes Harmful Contaminants
The most obvious benefit of a water filtration system is improved water quality. Water filtration systems are designed to remove various contaminants from tap water, including chlorine, lead, bacteria, viruses & pesticides. Tap water can contain a variety of contaminants, including chlorine, heavy metals like lead and mercury, bacteria, pesticides, and even microplastics. Over time, these impurities can contribute to health issues such as digestive problems, skin irritation, and even more serious diseases like cancer or neurological damage.
A good filtration system removes or reduces these contaminants, giving your family convenient access to clean, fresh water that supports overall health. Whether you’re using it for drinking, cooking, or even for your pets, cleaner water means fewer toxins entering your body.
Protects Children’s Sensitive Skin
Sensitive skin can be easily irritated by contaminants like chlorine and filtered water can help prevent skin problems among your entire family. Hard water or water with high levels of particulates can also strip the skin of its natural oils, leading to irritation and dryness. Over time, this can cause or exacerbate conditions like eczema or dandruff. Softened filtered water allows your skin cleansing & hydration products to work as intended because it reduces mineral build up on your skin. If your skin is coated with minerals due to hard water, your products cannot work as intended.
Although mineral build up may not be visible, it can increase dryness & act as a conduit for a slew of other skin issues including irritation, acne, inflammation, wrinkles, and premature aging. Using filtered water throughout your home including in your sink, bath and shower can help protect your families’ skin from these drying effects.
Better for Cooking
Clean water is not just important for hydration; it also plays a key role in the food we prepare. Water used for cooking can affect the taste and quality of your meals. Contaminants in water, such as chlorine or fluoride, can interfere with flavors and even disrupt the cooking process. For example, chlorinated water can react with certain ingredients, affecting both flavor and texture.
With filtered water, you’ll get purer ingredients, allowing your food to taste better and be free from unwanted chemicals. Whether you’re brewing a cup of coffee, cooking pasta, or making soup, the quality of the water you use directly impacts the final product.
Cost Savings
A whole home water filter will reduce your costs in purchasing water and extend lifespan and functionality of home appliances. Whole house water filtration systems can help protect high water usage appliances like water heaters and dishwashers from mineral buildup and damage. Mineral build-up inside appliances also reduces efficiency and increases your water costs. As systems become filled with mineral deposits, water flow is decreased, in-turn decreasing the efficiency and effectiveness of your most used appliances. Water filtration systems allow clean, mineral free water to run through your home maintaining your appliances efficiency regardless of the quality of water that arrives at your door. By reducing the need for bottled water and extending the lifespan of appliances, water filtration systems can save money in the long run.
Hydration is key to your families’ health and having fresh filtered water flowing into your home makes optimizing your health easier than ever. Water Unlimited offers a Free Water Analysis test to see where your water may lie on the hard to soft scale. You can schedule your appointment HERE.
