The Importance of Home Water Filtration and Purification
When you turn the faucet on your kitchen or bathroom sink, you anticipate clean, healthy water to flow out. But even if your water seems clear, it could still be hiding toxic chemicals that present a risk to your family’s health and safety. Many people do not like the taste of tainted tap water and recognize the risk of drinking it. That’s why half of all American homes use either a home water treatment system (32 percent) or bottled water (18 percent) to make sure they have safe drinking water on hand.
If you want to protect your family’s well-being, you might first consider continuing the bottled water plan. Sadly, this gets expensive soon. In addition, plastic water bottles that aren’t recyclable end up polluting the world’s waterways, disrupting the environment and wiping out marine life.
Installing a whole-house water filtration system is more cost-effective and cleaner for the environment than buying bottled water. It may also supply healthier water more easily because you can get it right from the tap. Additionally, whole-house systems provide purified water to your showers, tubs and plumbing appliances, helping you to make the most of the benefits anywhereyou use water at home.

What’s in Your Drinking Water?
Water quality may differ by location, but a few of the most likely contaminants include:-
- Heavy metals
-
- Chlorine
-
- Lead
-
- Industrial chemicals
-
- Disinfection byproducts (DBPs)
-
- Sediment filtration: Cloudiness is a frequent sign of debris in your drinking water. Consisting of silt, sand, rust or clay, sediment is abundant and increases in the water main soon after heavy rains. While generally harmless, sediment makes 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. Unfortunately, this disinfectant creates harmful chemical byproducts when it mixes with naturally occurring organic and inorganic materials in the water. Certain DPBs, like trihalomethanes (THMs), are shown to cause cancer. Filtermax eliminates these carcinogens to protect your family.
-
- Safer, cleaner, better-tasting water: Guaranteeing safe tap water is the objective of installing any water filtration system. Besides being cleaner for your family to drink, filtered water also smells, tastes and looks better. No more constant metallic or musty odors. No more earthy or chlorine flavor. No more cloudy water swirling around your kitchen sink. Just clean-tasting, odorless, crystal-clear water.
-
- Filtered water at every tap: Hazardous chemicals don’t just affect you when ingested—they also absorb into your skin as you shower and adhere to your clothing and dishes when you wash them. That’s why a whole-house filtration system is so beneficial because it provides clean water from every tap.
-
- No operating expenses or water going to waste: Some whole-house filtration systems raise your electric bills. Others increase your water bills with automatic backwashing and flushing. Filtermax proves that healthy water doesn’t have to come with bigger utility costs.
-
- Flow-through distributor: Depending on your plumbing system’s setup, you might need an upflow or downflow water filter. The Filtermax™ flow-through distributor includes both designs to accommodate your needs.
