Water Filtration Backed by Science: What Really Goes into Having Clean Water

/in

Clean water doesn’t happen by chance…it’s the result of carefully engineered science working behind the scenes. 

With May recognized as national science month, it is the perfect opportunity to unveil what’s really going on  every time you turn on the tap. Water filtration systems are designed to remove contaminants such as chlorine, heavy metals, sediment, bacteria, and more, ensuring that the water in your home is not only safe to drink, but better for cooking, cleaning, and everyday use. 

 

How do Water Filtration Systems Work?

At their core, water filtration systems rely on a combination of physical, chemical, and biological processes to remove unwanted substances. Different systems are built to target different types of contaminants, which is why many homes use a combination of filtration methods for the best results. 

The three main filtration methods are:

  • Carbon filters
  • Reverse osmosis 
  • UV filters

 

Carbon Filtration

Carbon filters are one of the most common and effective filtration methods used in residential water filtration systems. These filters use activated carbon, which is a certain material that attracts and traps contaminants through a process called adsorption. 

This method is especially effective at:

  • Reducing chlorine
  • Improving taste and odor
  • Removing certain volatile organic compounds 

The result is water that tastes cleaner and fresher, making it more enjoyable for drinking, cooking, and washing. 

 

Reverse Osmosis Filtration

Reverse osmosis systems take filtration a step further by targeting dissolved contaminants that are too small for standard filters to catch. These systems push water through a semi-permeable membrane, which blocks impurities and bacteria at a molecular level. 

Due to its precision, reverse osmosis systems are often used for drinking water systems where purity is a top priority.

 

UV Filtration

Ultraviolet (UV) filtration uses light (rather than chemicals) to disinfect water. As water passes through the system, it is exposed to UV light that neutralizes the harmful microorganisms by disrupting their DNA. 

UV systems are ideal for:

  • Eliminating bacteria and viruses
  • Providing an added layer of protection for well water or untreated sources
  • Chemical-free purification

 

Takeaways

From carbon filtration that reduces chlorine and improves taste to reverse osmosis systems that target microscopic or dissolved contaminants, modern water treatment is designed to solve very specific water quality problems at the source.

The result is water that not only looks clear, but performs better throughout your entire home. If you choose to invest in a water filtration system this year, you will notice improvements in everything from drinking water quality to appliance efficiency and even the longevity of your plumbing system.

DIY vs. Professional Installation: Why You Should Seek a Professional Water Filtration Installation

/in

Earlier this month marked national Do-it-yourself (DIY) day. National DIY Day celebrates creativity, independence, and the satisfaction of completing difficult projects on your own. 

While DIY projects can absolutely be a great way to save money and feel accomplished, it is important to recognize that not every project is suited for a tutorial video. In many cases, the risk can often outweigh the rewards … especially when plumbing is involved. 

One specific at-home project that you may want to keep off of your DIY list this year, is installing a water filtration system. At first glance, it may seem straightforward; watch a video, get some new tools, and save on installation costs. In reality, however, this process is much more complex than it appears, and small mistakes can quickly turn into expensive, stressful problems. 

 

The Risks of DIY Water Filtration System Installations

Water damage is one of the most expensive and disruptive issues a homeowner can face. A small leak can quickly escalate into a burst pipe or flooding, which can cause thousands of dollars worth of damage in minutes. Beyond that potential financial impact, there is also the time, stress, and uncertainty that comes with most complex DIY projects. 

While it is possible for a DIY water filtration system installation to go smoothly, it is far from guaranteed. Working with water in any capacity requires precision, and even a minor mistake can have a major consequence. 

Additionally, water filtration systems must be properly integrated with your home’s existing plumbing. Without the right expertise, you risk the effectiveness of the system. It is entirely possible to complete this project only for there to be no change (or worsening) in your water quality. 

 

Professional Water Filtration System Installations

Seeking a professional to install your water filtration system offers several key advantages: 

  • Enhanced safety: Proper installation reduces the risk of leaks, pipe damage, and contamination
  • Cost savings: An incorrect installation can quickly lead to damage with costly repairs
  • Long-term, reliable results: Systems installed by professionals ensure quality, efficiency, and durability

Hiring a professional ensures the job is done correctly, efficiently, and with minimal disruption to your daily life. Experienced installers understand your home’s specific water needs and how to execute them without damage. Not only do they eliminate the guesswork and risk, but they also provide peace of mind. It will allow you to enjoy clean, filtered water without the added stress.

When it comes to projects that directly impact your home’s infrastructure, it is worth investing in the right expertise. It is so important to take on a DIY challenge every once in a while, but sometimes it is equally as important to learn when not to do-it-yourself.

Avoid Unwanted Leaks: How to Detect Leaks and Conserve Water

/in

This week is national Fix a Leak Week, making it the perfect time to take a closer look at your home’s water filtration system. Have you ever asked yourself how old your water filtration system is and when the last time you checked it for a leak was…or if you ever have?

While it is not uncommon for older water filtration systems to develop leaks over time, it is definitely something you want to catch early and avoid altogether. Water Unlimited is always here to help fix a leak if one occurs, but knowing how to detect and prevent issues on your own can save you time, money, and unnecessary stress. 

 

Detecting leaks

A leak in your water filtration system can do more than just waste water. It can promote mold or bacterial growth, cause damage to floors or cabinets, and allow contaminants into your drinking water, ultimately defeating the purpose of having the system in the first place. That is why it is so important to know how to detect a leak, and check regularly.

There are several ways you can check your water filtration system for leakage. Some signs are obvious, while others are easy to overlook:

  • Visual inspection: It is so important to regularly check the filter system for moisture, water pooling underneath, or rust on surrounding pipes. All can indicate a leak. 
  • Physical check: You should semi-regularly run your hand along the exterior tubing of the filter and around the area to feel for small leaks. On reverse osmosis systems, check for clogged drain lines. If anything feels damp or abnormal, it is worth investigating. 
  • Listen: Listen for persistent dripping or running water when no taps or appliances are in use. 
  • Water meter test: Turn off all water-using appliances in your home and check your water meter. If it continues to move, this may be a sign of a leak. 

 

Preventing leaks

The good news is that many leaks are completely preventable with proper maintenance and a little attention detail through the steps below:

  • Replace your filter: Most systems require filter replacements every 2–6 months, depending on the type of system and your household’s water usage. Delaying replacements can increase pressure and lead to leaks. 
  • Tighten loose connections: Periodically check to make sure none of the connections or fittings in your system are loose, as this could potentially cause a leak. 
  • Clean: If water is dripping from the valve area it could be due to a buildup of dirt in the area. A simple cleaning can resolve the issue before it becomes a bigger problem. 

 

Conserving water

Unchecked leaks in your water filtration system can lead to water damage, contaminated drinking water, higher utility bills, and unnecessary water waste. Staying proactive helps protect your home, your health, and the environment.

If you notice any signs of a leak, or if you’re unsure whether your system is functioning properly, Water Unlimited is here to help. Our team can quickly identify and fix leaks before they turn into costly repairs.

Show Yourself Some Love This Month: Keep Up Your Hygiene With Filtered Water

/in

We all know that February is the month of love. Whether platonic or romantic, February gives us all the opportunity to express the love we feel everyday. Something that can often be overlooked, but is equally as important, is showing love, not just to others, but to yourself. Self-love can look different for everyone, but one universal way to practice it is by taking care of your personal hygiene. One simple and effective way to improve your hygiene, without investing in a variety of expensive products, is by using filtered water. 

Water filtration systems in your household can improve the health of your teeth, skin, hair, clothes, and even the food you prepare every day. 

 

Dental Hygiene 

Having a filtered water system in your household positively affects many daily routines that involve water, including brushing your teeth and drinking water. Clean, filtered water will not only improve the taste of the water you drink, but also supports better overall dental health. 

Exposing your teeth to filtered water instead of hard water is far more effective at clearing away bacteria and excess food, freshening your breath, fighting teeth stains, diluting harmful acids, and preventing cavities. Simply by continuing your normal daily routines utilizing filtered water can significantly improve the long-term health of your teeth. 

 

Skin/Hair

Your teeth aren’t the only part of your body that is exposed to water in your household every day. You also may shower and wash your hands and face multiple times a day. Whole-house water filtration systems can greatly improve the health and overall feel of your skin. Filtered water helps make skin softer and smoother while also reducing irritation, redness, and acne. 

When it comes to showering, your hair benefits just as much as your skin. Clean, filtered water helps remove harsh minerals, leaving hair softer, cleaner, and healthier looking than before. Over time, this can result in improved shine, manageability, and overall hair health. 

 

Laundry

One of the more unexpected benefits of a whole-house water filtration system is the improved quality of your laundry. The cleaner the water, the cleaner your clothes. Filtered water removes minerals and contaminants that cause dullness, stiffness, and fading. This results in brighter, softer clothes, less detergent use, and longer fabric life. 

Filtered water also allows detergent to work more effectively, rinses clothes more thoroughly, and prevents mineral buildup in fabrics. The result is fresher, more vibrant, longer-lasting clothes, and better care for everything you wash.

 

Cooking

Cooking with clean water not only makes your food healthier, but also enhances the flavor. By removing common impurities such as chlorine, sulfur, or lead, filtered water eliminates weird flavors and odors, allowing the ingredients’ true tastes to shine.

Filtered water also enhances texture in items like rice, pasta, and baked goods by improving gluten formation and yeast activity. This ultimately leads to more vibrant colors, fluffier textures, and cleaner-tasting dishes. Additionally, it protects appliances and utensils from mineral buildup, allowing them to last much longer.

 

Conclusion

As you celebrate love this February, it’s important to remember to show yourself some care as well. Water Unlimited can provide you with a whole-house water filtration system that makes self-care simple and effective. You already use water in so many different ways throughout your day, why not elevate those daily routines and use it to become the healthiest and cleanest version of yourself during this month of love.

Start Your Year off Right with Clean Water: How to be a Healthier Version of Yourself

/in

Most people enter the New Year with a resolution to be a healthier version of themselves. For many, that means big lifestyle changes, but one of the more simple and effective steps you can take is improving the quality of the water in your household. Clean, filtered water will make a notable difference in you and your family’s health, comfort, and overall well-being throughout the New Year.

 

Bacteria

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that there are over 12 million cases of waterborne acute gastrointestinal illness annually in the United States alone. These illnesses are often caused by bacteria, viruses, and protozoa that contaminate the water supply, often without any visible warning. Even with the advanced state-of-the-art treatment plants, it is nearly impossible to completely eliminate every microbial pathogen before water reaches your home.

These contaminants can contribute to autoimmune diseases, stomach illnesses, fatigue, and even dehydration. That is why, as you move into the New Year,  it is a good idea to contact a professional to get a water analysis for your household. Testing your water can help you identify harmful bacteria and take the necessary steps to remove it, ultimately protecting your health and peace of mind. 

 

Hygiene

Becoming a healthier version of yourself isn’t just about what you consume, but also how you care for your body everyday. Water filtration isn’t just for drinking water. Water plays a role in nearly every hygiene routine such as brushing your teeth, showering, washing your hands, doing laundry, and more. 

Unfiltered, or “Hard,” water can often interfere with these daily tasks. Unfiltered water can cause dry hair, dry skin, staining of appliances, irritated scalp, and more. If you want to feel cleaner than you ever have before, consider a whole-house filtered water installation to improve the quality of every drop of water you use in your daily routines.

If you’re looking to elevate your hygiene in the New Year, and truly feel the difference, filtered water is a great place to start.

 

Wellness

Wellness is a major part of any health-focused New Year resolution, and clean water supports wellness in ways people often overlook. By clearing the bacteria previously mentioned, filtered water allows for better digestion, healthier organs, and a stronger immune system. This will simultaneously help increase your energy levels, making it much easier to stay active and engaged throughout the day. 

Clean water will also make you drink more water due to the improved taste, which boosts hydration and supports cognitive function, skin health, and overall mood. Even your cooked food will improve when you use filtered water in place of tap. 

All of these seemingly small benefits will add up, helping you feel healthier from the inside out.

Trends

Water Softeners: A common water problem that people come across is “hard water.” Hard water is water with high levels of dissolved calcium, magnesium, and often iron. Whether from a private well or a municipal supply, most homes experience hard water and are unaware of its costs. Those costs being, dry skin and hair, bathtub rings, spots on glassware, silverware, and fixtures, as well as dull and dingy clothing. Additionally, hard water can lead to reduced performance and a shortened lifespan of water-using appliances.

This can easily be solved by utilizing a water softening system. Soft water is water with low levels of the dissolved minerals that are present in “hard” water. At Water Unlimited our Kinetico water softeners are expertly engineered for flawless performance. This ensures your family is receiving soft water that gives you cleaner dishes and clothes, softer skin and hair, and longer lasting pipes and appliances. 

 

Whole House Water Treatment Systems: With increasing concerns and questions over municipal water, whole-house filtration systems are in high demand. These systems offer effective solutions for filtering contaminants, eliminating odors, and ensuring safe drinking water throughout your home. Whole-house filtration not only enhances water quality but also protects appliances and plumbing systems, giving them longer lifespans. These innovative systems at Water Unlimited are designed to deliver reliable performance without compromising your budget.

Our Kinetico Whole House Water Systems are designed to restore clarity and freshness to your water. They provide tailored solutions to your specific water problems without imposing significant demands on your time or budget. Depending on your water quality, one or more systems may be required to ensure your water remains pristine.

 

Water Analysis: It is difficult to know exactly how clean your water is and what kind of filtration you need. That is why it is important to get a water analysis done at your home in order to realize the healthiest version of yourself in the new year. At Water Unlimited, we offer customers a free, comprehensive, water analysis. The information that you gain from your analysis will allow you to make informed decisions about water treatment solutions, something that is personal to every home. 

Keeping up with water quality and filtration trends will allow you to better understand the state of your water and what to do to improve it. Here at Water Unlimited we want you to go into the new year as the healthiest version of yourself, and that starts with understanding the water you use everyday.

Don’t Be Scared of What’s Hiding In Your Water

/in

Chemicals, harmful minerals, bacteria, and more are lurking in the water supply. Not to fear, water filtration is here to save you!

While often invisible, contaminants can have significant implications for both your health and the integrity of your home’s plumbing system.

Common residential water system contaminants:

  • Chlorine: Although chlorine is used to eliminate bacteria, consumption in high quantities can be harmful, leading to issues such as dry skin, eye irritation, and respiratory problems. There is also evidence that long-term exposure to chlorine by-products may increase the risk of cancer. Corrosive chemicals like chlorine deteriorate plumbing and appliances, leading to future issues.
  • Nitrates: Nitrates enter the water system from agricultural and landscaping runoff and can interfere with the blood’s ability to carry oxygen, especially in infants. For adults, long-term exposure to high nitrate levels has been linked to an increased risk of certain cancers.
  • Bacteria and Viruses: Microbial contaminants like bacteria and viruses can enter the water supply through sewage leaks, contaminated wells, or broken pipes. These pathogens can cause a range of illnesses, from mild stomach upset to severe, life-threatening conditions like E. coli or Giardia infections.
  • Minerals: Many areas experience high mineral concentration in their water, referred to as “hard water.” In appropriate concentrations, many minerals are essential for your health. When consuming highly mineralized water, you are unable to regulate the quantity of minerals you ingest. Hard water can lead to irritated skin and inefficient product performance, as well as build-up in plumbing and appliances.

What to do?

  • Test your water: The only way to know what’s in your water is to test it. Request a free water analysis HERE to determine if installing a whole-home water filter is the right step for your home.
  • Install a whole-home water filter: Water filtration systems are designed to remove contaminants from tap water, including chlorine, lead, bacteria, viruses, and pesticides. 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 and your home.
  • Inspect your plumbing and appliances: Regularly inspect and maintain your home’s plumbing system and appliances to identify existing corrosion, leaks, or other issues. Keeping up with the ill effects of water contaminants will prevent larger issues in the future.

Although the thought of consuming contaminated water is scary, it doesn’t have to be. Modern water filtration systems are highly proficient at removing a wide variety of contaminants from water to provide healthy water to your home.

Setting Up for Success: How Clean Water Supports Your Family’s Back-to-School Routine

/in

We all want to set our family up for success in the new school year, and it’s not too late to lay the foundation for better overall health, with cleaner water. Contaminant-free, filtered water helps lead your family to a healthier, happier school year through appropriate hydration, safer food preparation, and better hygiene.

Hydration

Water is vital to ensuring we all function at our best. It plays a key role in many of our body’s functions, including bringing nutrients to cells, getting rid of wastes, protecting joints and organs, and maintaining body temperature. It is essential that your family is well hydrated throughout their busy days at school so they can operate at their best. 

We are fortunate that today’s schools have leaned in to the benefits of well-hydrated staff and pupils by encouraging reusable water bottles, installing bottle-filling stations, and facilitating good hydration throughout the day. Some of us may be old enough to remember the main water source during the school day as a low-pressure drinking fountain out in the hall. There will always be a place for that water fountain, but we are very appreciative of school leadership’s encouragement of hydration sources beyond a quick sip as you walk by.

Inadequate hydration can lead to headaches, nausea, poor concentration, and more, so once school is in session, it is as important as ever to encourage your children (and yourselves) to stay hydrated.

It is important to look at the quality of water you consume when you increase your intake. Although we can’t control the quality of water outside of our homes, we can ensure our families leave for their day with fresh, contaminant-free water in their reusable bottles.

The best way to ensure safe, clean drinking water that will not introduce additional toxins and contaminants into your body is to utilize a whole-home water filtration system. Water filtration systems allow clean, mineral and contaminant-free water to run through your home faucets, making it easier to stay hydrated and healthy.

Safer Meals

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.

As school ramps up, lunch and dinner can get complicated. New routines, practices, and schedules can impact your children’s preferences, and ensuring the food they eat is high-quality and healthy is even more important.

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.

Better Hygiene

Roughly 54% of children are reported by their caregivers to have sensitive or very sensitive skin, according to a recent study. One of the top skin issues reported is dryness. Skin dryness can be exacerbated by inadequate hydration and hard water. Sensitive skin can be easily irritated by contaminants, and filtered water can help prevent and reduce skin problems. Hard water has higher detected levels of minerals, including calcium, magnesium, and chlorine. 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 and hydration products to work as intended because it reduces mineral buildup on your skin. If your family’s skin is coated with minerals due to hard water, your products cannot work as intended. 

Although mineral buildup may not be visible, it can increase dryness and 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 family’s skin from these negative effects.

Water filtration is not at the top of many school supply lists, but if you ask us, it should be. Utilizing clean, filtered water throughout your day optimizes the body’s processes, reduces contaminant consumption, and leads to less irritated skin. You may not realize the negative effects your hard water is inflicting until you experience truly clean water.

Water for Wellness: Happy National Wellness Awareness Month!

/in

August is National Wellness Awareness Month! It is a time to focus on promoting overall health and well-being, encouraging individuals to prioritize their health through sustainable habits and self-care. This annual observance serves as a reminder to evaluate daily habits, adopt sustainable lifestyle practices, and explore new ways to enhance physical, mental, and emotional health. It’s a perfect opportunity to reset, refocus, and recommit to your wellness goals. 

The concept of National Wellness Month emerged in 2018 as part of an effort to shift the wellness conversation from a luxury topic to a lifestyle one. One of the most foundational and attainable changes a person can make is increasing their intake of clean, healthy water. Wellness through water is a reachable step towards better health.

Water is a vital cornerstone of good health. It plays a key role in many of our body’s functions, including bringing nutrients to cells, getting rid of wastes, protecting joints and organs, and maintaining body temperature. Consuming fresh, clean water is a critical part of promoting wellness throughout your body. Quite simply, we cannot function without it.

The optimal amount of water intake varies for each individual. Factors like activity level, climate, and overall health can influence how much water a person needs daily. Recommendations vary greatly from the often-cited 64 ounces up to a hefty 15 cups (120 ounces) of water consumed per person per day. For some, 64 ounces might be sufficient, while others may need more. However, despite its importance, many people don’t consume enough water on a daily basis. Factors such as busy schedules, lack of awareness, or even simply not feeling thirsty can lead to chronic underconsumption.

Under consumption of water can lead to alarming side effects, including low energy, mental fog, increased risk of stroke, moodiness, slower metabolism, headaches, and more. Dehydration can happen quickly, but can also compound over time through continued underconsumption of water. The great news is that dehydration is easy to prevent and correct. Simply consume enough water to rectify any negative effects. Drinking water throughout the day, even when you’re not feeling particularly thirsty, helps maintain proper hydration levels and supports all of your body’s systems in working more efficiently. But equally important to how much water you consume is the quality of that water.

It is imperative to look at the quality of water you consume when you increase your intake. Whether your water comes from a municipal water system, community well, private well on your property, or somewhere else, contaminants (including lead, pesticides, microplastics, and more) are present in most water systems. 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. 

The best way to ensure safe, clean drinking water that will not introduce additional toxins and contaminants into your body is to utilize a whole-home water filtration system. Water filtration systems allow clean, mineral and contaminant-free water to run through your home faucets, making it easier to stay hydrated and healthy. 

Clean, accessible water encourages better hydration habits by making it more convenient and appealing to drink water regularly. It’s a practical upgrade that aligns perfectly with the goals of National Wellness Month, empowering individuals to take control of their health in simple, sustainable ways.
