Like most Fairview Park homeowners, you’re probably asking yourself why you need water filtration – what exactly happens to your water that makes it necessary to install an entire new system in your home to keep it clean? There are a few things that might be an issue here and your specific circumstances will determine which affects you the most.
Common Water Contaminants
While most homes don’t suffer from all of the following, there is a good chance you will have at least some of these contaminants in your home:
- Sediment
- Bacteria
- Chlorine
- Copper
- Fluoride
- Iron
- Manganese
- Nitrate
- Sulfate
- Viruses
This is only a partial list too – there are a number of other, more exotic substances that might be in your water. Now, this doesn’t mean your water suffers from all or even most of these problems. Many homes only have one or two contaminants and they may not even be immediately dangerous to your health.
But, here’s the issue – and the number one reason that most homes should have a water filtration system. Things change. While your home may not suffer from virus or sulfate infiltration now, it could later. Things happen to the water supply – pipes get old, things get into the water tables and chemical levels change at treatment plants.
The only way to combat these problems is to have a good water filtration system already in place. Specifically, a water treatment system that can remove all of these contaminants through an advanced chemical process.
