You might not think about it every day, but there are impurities in your water that aren’t always noticeable. Your family’s drinking water could be a potential health risk, carrying a variety of pollutants and natural compounds. Work with a water treatment expert and have your water inspected periodically to protect your household and enjoy the following benefits.

Why Install a Water Treatment System?

1. Remove Contaminants

Surprisingly, it is relatively common—and legal—for drinking water to contain up to thirty contaminants. The problem is that some of those contaminants can pose a health risk when ingested. Examples of these include but are not limited to pesticides, nitrogen, and bleach. Home water treatment systems are designed to remove these contaminants.  

2. Avoid Hard Water

“Hard water” is water that has high mineral content, particularly in calcium and magnesium. Though it doesn’t pose a significant health risk, it can make cleaning difficult. Your hands and hair may feel slimy after a wash, your skin may become irritated, and your dishes may incur unsightly spots or marks. Hard water also causes mineral buildup that clogs your pipes and lowers your water pressure.

3. Deacidify Your Water

Your water can be acidic for many reasons. It often has a distinctly metallic and unpleasant taste. Over time, drinking acidic water can damage your teeth and gums. It can also corrode your pipes, leading to costly premature repairs or replacement. Getting your water inspected and treated by a professional can deacidify your water and help you avoid these effects.
