Clean water is something that many Americans take for granted. While we are incredibly fortunate to have on-demand access to water that won’t make us sick, our water supplies still often are not as clean as we would like. In fact, many people don’t drink enough water simply because they have concerns about the quality of their water. Installing a water purification system is one of the best ways to eliminate this concern, but that isn’t the only benefit of investing in water treatment. In honor of National Water Treatment Month, let’s take a closer look at just a few of the benefits of water treatment systems.
Cleaner, Healthier Water
The primary benefit of water treatment systems is obvious – they make your home’s drinking water cleaner and healthier. They reduce the number of contaminants and make water taste and smell better. Whether you have well water or city water, it could contain everything from dissolved minerals to lead to chemicals. Investing in a water purifier ensures that such contaminants will be eliminated before they end up in your drinking glass.
Improved Health
Your body needs water to survive, and contaminants can lead to serious problems. According to the EPA, there are more than 480,000 cases of learning disorders in the United States each year due to lead in drinking water. Drinking water that has been purified greatly reduces the risk of health complications, especially in children, pregnant women and people with compromised immune systems.
Less Expensive
If you have concerns about the quality of the water that comes from your faucets, you likely purchase bottled water. The cost of buying case after case of water adds up, especially if you have a large family or use that water for cooking in addition to drinking it. A home water treatment system is a one-time investment that will provide you with fresh, clean water for several years. As an added bonus, you’ll never have to worry about hauling heavy cases of water into your home again!
Decreased Environmental Impact
If you buy bottled water and throw the empty bottles in the trash, you are contributing to the countless number that ends up in landfills every single day. Plastic bottles take 450 years to decompose. Invest in a water treatment system and use reusable bottles to drastically cut down on plastic waste and decrease your impact on the environment.

Water filtration is responsible for keeping your water supply crystal clear. No contaminants. No chemicals. Not even a speck of dirt. It keeps any filth out of your water so you can use it for a wide variety of purposes like drinking, washing, watering the lawn, and so much more. It’s so vital to the overall state of your home that you wouldn’t be able live there at all if you didn’t have a steady flow of running water.
Running water is kinda like oxygen—you don’t realize how much you need it until it’s not there anymore. Oh, and when we say you’ll “realize” it, we mean clinching your stomach after drinking a contaminated glass of tap water or maybe itching your skin after a shower. You rely so much on clean water on a daily basis for a wide range of purposes that even just one contaminant can spoil the broth and interrupt with your day-to-day. Illnesses, discomfort, and even fixture damage are only just some of the side-effects of having contaminated water in your home.

What If You Don’t Call Us?
Let’s give a general overview of what will happen if you don’t have reliable water filtration in your home, including these 4 misfortunes:
- Discolored Water: You know you’ve got hard water when the water is cloudy and murky in its consistency. This is largely due to the makeup of calcium and magnesium hydroxide, which is soluble in water. Cloudy, murky water can make your next shower or round of dishwashing a bit more difficult as total cleanliness when washing with hard water isn’t guaranteed.
- Poor Water Quality: Due to hard water’s chemical makeup, it can actually stick to water pipes and lead to a higher chance of drain clogs, which can only make you spend more money on drain cleaning service. It can also create problems with sinks, baths, toilets, and shower heads.
- Interference with Daily Life: Hard water can wreak havoc on your laundry, dishes, and your health. Daily life can be seriously interrupted due to hard water’s ability to create spotty dishware, stiff, ragged clothes, and make you ill.
- Health Hazards: While hard water presents no immediate health consequences, long-term consumption certainly isn’t good for you. You need water that won’t put your health on the line every time you take a drink, and water filtration can make that a reality.
What is Hard Water?
Hard water is a frustrating problem that causes constant levels of discomfort to those affected by it. Fortunately, there’s an awesome solution: install a whole house water filtration and softener system. This is an ingeniously designed filtration and softener device that removes the excess levels of minerals from the water, in effect purifying and softening it.
You’ll immediately notice a difference in how the water from the faucet tastes, as well as how clean your dishes and clothes are after washing. In addition, your skin, hair, and nails will quickly become stronger and healthier. And over time, you’ll notice a significant reduction in the build-up of sediment on plumbing fixtures, in appliances and in your property’s pipes.
Using Reverse Osmosis
Unfortunately, hard water makes it impossible to change your water supply if the water delivered through the municipal main is hard. That’s why you need to address the issue at the point of entry into your home’s plumbing system. You can do this by installing a whole-home water softener. A whole-home water softener uses reverse osmosis to negate the harsh minerals and other contaminants that are bad for your health and taste nasty.
Here’s how it works: The water is run through a filtration system that consists of a semi-permeable membrane. This membrane retains the minerals and contaminants while letting the water through. As a result, the water that’s delivered to your plumbing fixtures is completely clean.
