The Importance of Home Water Filtration and Purification

When you run the faucet on your kitchen or bathroom sink, you anticipate clean, healthy water to flow out. But even if the water looks clear, it may still contain toxic chemicals that are hazardous to your family’s health and well-being. Many people dislike the taste of polluted tap water and recognize the consequences of drinking it. That’s why half of all American families have 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 safeguard your family’s well-being, you might first opt for trying the bottled water route. Unfortunately, this gets expensive soon. Plus, plastic water bottles that don’t get recycled end up contaminating the world’s waterways, harming the environment and killing marine life. 

Installing a whole-house water filtration system is more cost-effective and better for the environment than using so much bottled water. It will 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 fixtures, enabling you to capitalize on the benefits whereveryou use water in your home. 

Before setting up a whole-house water filter, learn about what’s in your water supply and how a Filtermax™ Superior Chemical Removal Filter can clear out harmful contaminants. Then, contact Sunbeam Service Experts to help you find and install the best water filter for you. 

What’s in Your Drinking Water? 

Water quality fluctuates by location, but several of the most prevalent contaminants include: 

• Heavy metals 
• Chlorine 
• Lead 
• Industrial chemicals 
• Disinfection byproducts (DBPs) 

Learn what could be in your water supply by entering your ZIP Code into the Environmental Working Group’s drinking water quality database. EWG files show that over 80 percent of utility water supplies in North America at one point tested positive for carcinogenic chemicals, illustrating that lawful water quality levels aren’t necessarily safe. 

Consider Installing a Filtermax Water Filtration System 

The Filtermax Superior Chemical Removal Filter traps dirt, debris and dangerous chemicals from your tap water, supplying you and your family with safe, clean water to enjoy. Here are the perks of this system: 

• Sediment filtration: Cloudiness is a sure sign of sediment in your drinking water. Comprised of silt, sand, rust or clay, sediment is abundant and can become concentrated in the water main soon after heavy rains. While largely harmless, sediment makes your drinking water look and taste unpleasant. Filtermax includes sediment filtration to filter out solids from your drinking water. 
• Chlorine removal: Chlorine is the key to clean drinking water in dense cities. Unfortunately, this disinfectant creates hazardous chemical byproducts when it reacts with naturally occurring organic and inorganic materials in the water. A few DPBs, including trihalomethanes (THMs), are shown to cause cancer. Filtermax removes these carcinogens to keep your family safe. 

• Safer, cleaner, better-tasting water: Guaranteeing safe tap water is the objective of adding putting in any water filtration system. Besides being healthier for your family to enjoy, filtered water also smells, tastes and looks better. No more lingering metallic or musty smells. No more earthy or chlorine flavor. No more muddy water swirling around your glass. Just clean-tasting, odorless, crystal-clear water. 
• Filtered water to every tap: Harmful chemicals don’t just impact you when ingested—they also absorb into your skin when you shower and stick to your clothing and dishes when you wash them. That’s why a whole-house filtration system is so helpful because it ensures clean water from every tap. 
• No operating expenses or water going to waste: Some whole-house filtration systems add to your electric bills. Others raise your water bills with automatic backwashing and flushing. Filtermax proves that safe, clean water doesn’t have to come with steeper 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 features both designs to accommodate your needs. 
• 20-year manufacturer warranty: This is the best warranty in the water treatment equipment industry! With this coverage, you know your investment will continue providing clean, quality drinking water for a very long time.
