Installing a water treatment system in your home or business provides your family and employees with clean drinking water. With advanced filtration methods, these systems remove contaminants that cause illness from toxic substances found in groundwater. However, you may still have questions about this system and want to know if it’s right for you. Below are answers to a few of these frequent queries.

Your Guide to a Water Treatment System

Is well water safe to drink?

Whether you get drinking water from a public or private well, having clean water is essential to everyday life. While some may argue that public wells are safer since the US Environmental Protection Agency regulates them, some chemicals are still allowed. Your water may contain trace elements of arsenic, manganese, and uranium, which can cause digestion issues and bacterial infections.

How does hard water affect my pipes?

If you’re living with hard water, your pipes, appliances, and dishes are all at risk for limescale buildup and tough water stains. If too much of this is in the pipes of your home or business, it can cause reduced water flow and drainage. It may also clog drains and lead to backups that spread foul odors throughout the areas. Rust stains in the shower or around the kitchen sink are also a critical indicator that you need a water treatment system to treat hard water.

Is bottled water better than filtered water?

Not all bottled water is the same, just as not all water treatment systems are the same. However, many of these systems produce clean drinking water through reverse osmosis filtration before being bottled and sold. This method of filtration removes chlorine, arsenic, and other harmful toxins. If you’re looking to save money and be environmentally friendly, you can get the same quality of drinking water with a treatment system in your home or business.

Does filtered water taste better?

Filtering out chemicals and toxins in tap water can improve the taste. It may also help with the smell caused by sulfur and improve the overall clarity. With a treatment system in your home, you provide your family with fresh-smelling, pure water. You may also notice a difference in how hydrated you feel by drinking filtered water.
