Is There A Reason Why My Water Should Be Filtered?
Water filters are a barrier that prevents debris (such as sand) and bacteria from passing through the water and inside your home. There are two functions of filtration. The first function is physical filtration, this process is responsible for removing more significant impurities from the water that goes throughout your home. Then, as the water runs through this filter, it captures the debris and allows the clean water to pass through. Many people forget that this filter needs to be replaced at least every six months; the best way to know precisely when you should replace it is by feeling the pressure in your water. So, if the pressure in your water begins to lower, you will need to replace your filter. Simple right?
The second function is chemical filtration. This filtration process creates a chemical reaction as water goes through an activated carbon such as charcoal. In addition, chemical filtration helps push smaller particles like debris, through the filter during physical filtration. In closing, both filtration processes work together to purify your water and make it safe for you and your family’s everyday use.
Is The Water In Your Home Safe?
Because you know a little more about filtration, let’s explain in depth why you should have your home filtered, especially the water you drink. Let me give you an example: sometimes, we don’t see what meets the eye. But if you turned your water on, and all you saw was water and sand coming out of your faucet, would you drink it? I highly doubt you would. With that being said, keep in mind that you don’t always see the sand, chemicals, or other debris, but it’s there. In other words, having your water filtered is essential to keep you, your family, your home, and your pets safe.
