Water Filters for Your Whole Home
You Can Trust Your Water With Us
Whole-house water filters are special systems that give you clean, safe water from every faucet in your home. They’re put where water comes into your house, so all the water you use for drinking, cooking, bathing, laundry, and more is clean and pure. It has also helped with any skin diseases and rashes.
Is tap water safe to drink?
In general, tap water in Indiana is treated and monitored to meet safety standards. Municipal water treatment processes typically reduce contaminants. However, variations exist, and water quality can depend on local infrastructure and environmental factors. Though our city water is treated, we believe there is more treatment to do after the water enters your home. Removing chlorine, disinfection byproducts, and other harmful bacteria is the responsibility of the homeowner. Call today to schedule a water quality inspection!
Do I need a water filter if I have city water?
City water may appear clean, but it often harbors numerous microorganisms that can pose health risks over time. Potential contaminants in city water include:
Bacteria: Untreated water sources may contain harmful bacteria, viruses, and parasites.
Chemicals: Water can carry metals and chemicals from industrial processes, potentially leading to cognitive issues and, in extreme cases, certain cancers. Specific chemicals and their associated health concerns include:
- Aluminum: Linked to cognitive deficiencies
- Barium: Known to impact high blood pressure
- Cadmium: Can cause kidney disease
- Copper: Linked to stomach aches
- Zinc: Can contribute to anemia
- Hard Water: High mineral content in hard water can result in mineral buildup in pipes and household appliances, affecting their longevity.
To ensure clean and safe drinking water, using a filtration system is advisable. These filters effectively remove toxins, improve taste and odor, and provide confidence in the safety of the water you consume.
Can a water filter remove all contaminants?
While water filters are effective at removing a wide range of contaminants, it’s essential to note that no single filter can eliminate all types of impurities. The effectiveness of a water filter depends on its design, the specific contaminants it targets, and the filtration method employed. Common water filters, such as activated carbon filters, reverse osmosis systems, and UV filters, each have their strengths and limitations. Activated carbon is effective against organic compounds, chlorine, and some heavy metals, while reverse osmosis can remove a broader spectrum of contaminants, including bacteria and viruses. For comprehensive water purification, a combination of filtration is most the most effective way to address concerns with your home’s water quality.
