Benefits of a water filter system
Water filter systems are fast becoming an almost essential requirement for homes and businesses, thanks to ongoing issues with water quality, pollutants and other unknown factors that could be affecting your water and your health.
Adding a system to your home or place of business can:
- Remove chemicals and pollutants which may be causing problems or creating health risks.
- Remove harmful organic chemicals, as well as protozoa, bacteria, and viruses.
- Remove fluoride or chlorine in tap water which reduces the risk of exposure to THMs which are linked to health conditions like asthma, eczema, bladder cancer and heart disease.
Solve your hard water problems
If you have hard water, a water filter system that includes water softening is crucial. You’ll see benefits such as:
- Easier Cleaning: Avoid spots, streaks and soapy residue on laundry and dishes with water softening, which helps rinse soap more thoroughly.
- Extended Appliance Life: Hard water contains minerals that can build up on the interior of appliances, decreasing their efficiency and causes wear and tear.
- Faster Water Heating: Your hot water heaters will heat softened water more quickly, resulting in improved efficiency, reduced energy consumption, and lower utility bills.
- Cleaner Plumbing System: Mineral-laden hard water results in the formation of scaly deposits inside and around plumbing fixtures and pipes. Over time, these deposits build up, causing clogs and corrosion.

As you look to purchase a water filter system, you’ll need to determine:
- Location - Where will the water filter be installed? Is a countertop system possible or are you looking for walter filtration for your entire house or business?
- Type of water - Do you have hard water or other water issues you are trying to solve?
- Cost - Do you have a budget that you’d like to stay within?
- Quantity - How much water are you looking to filter? Higher flow rates are associated with systems used for the whole house.
