Why You Need a Whole House Filtration System

When thinking about why people buy water filters, the first thing that comes to mind is the purity and taste of tap water. But if filtering water is just about the water we drink, why would anyone need a whole house water filtration system? The answer to this question is pretty simple: Filtered water has benefits that go well beyond drinkability.

If you care about any of the following, you should seriously consider investing in a whole house water filtration system:

• The health of your hair and skin
• The quality of your clothing
• The lifespan of your appliances
• The cleanliness of your pipes

How does a whole house water filtration system work?

What are the benefits of a whole house filtration system?

The benefits of filtered water changes room-to-room, so here`s a breakdown of how filtered water can help throughout your home and office.

• Kitchen: Filtering water in your kitchen means you will get better tasting, purer water coming from your taps. This is great for when you drink water directly from the tap and when you use water for cooking. A lesser-known benefit is that filtered water is better for your glassware as dissolved sediments in unfiltered water can lead to spotting and scaling. So, washing your dishes with filtered water will help you achieve cleaner, shinier dishes.

• Bathroom: Unfiltered water has chemicals like chlorine in it, if you have swum in a chlorinated pool then you will know that chlorine draws moisture out of skin and hair. Chlorine is used in mains water to kill bacteria, although most of this chemical is removed once the water has been treated, the trace amounts that remain is still enough to dry out your skin and hair. Filtering the water in your bathroom will mean you are no longer showering with chlorinated water, so your skin and hair will remain hydrated and healthy.

• Laundry: The same chemicals in unfiltered water that dry out your skin can also discolour your clothes over time. These chemicals can bleach clothes whilst they are in your washing machine, taking the vibrancy out of your clothing and making your darks lighter. Filtering the water in your laundry will remove these chemicals, protecting the colour in your clothes for longer.

• Pipes & Appliances: The dissolved sediments in unfiltered water will collect and build up over time, damaging your internal pipes and appliances over time. A whole house filtration system will filter the water before it enters your home or office, so the water running through your pipes and appliances will be sediment free, giving them an extended lifespan.
