Top Benefits of Installing a House Water Filtration System
Water is the source of all life, making it one of the most crucial elements to consider in your daily life. Yet, your water may be filled with contaminants, pollutants, and even deliberate additives that are harming your health to a significant degree. When you are concerned about your water, the best method of ensuring the safety of yourself and your loved ones is to invest in a whole house water filtration system. A whole house water filtration system will filter your water right at the point of entry, ensuring that the water flowing through your pipes to your sinks, showers, bathtubs, washing machines, spas, and garden hoses is filtered and purified. There are many advantages to installing a whole house water filtration system.
Healthy Drinking Water
While municipalities in the United States regulate the levels of certain harmful components, such as lead and arsenic, studies show that the levels within the water actually vary from city to city and hold the potential to additionally vary from home to home within the same water system. There may be many hazardous contaminants in your water including chemicals such as poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAs), radionuclides like radium, and harmful minerals like cyanide. Furthermore, over the years, researchers have found out that common additives to water, such as chlorine to clean it and fluoride for teeth may bring a host of health problems. Fortunately, a whole home water filtration system can filter out these components in your water. It will also give you peace of mind that you can drink safe water from any faucet in your home. The added bonus is that some whole home water filters, such as our Aquaspace POLARIS™ Whole Home System, maintain the beneficial minerals that are in the water.
Clean Shower, Bath and Spa Water
Contaminated and polluted water can also be incredibly harmful when it is coming through your shower, bath, or spa, as your body absorbs the compounds through your skin. For instance, studies indicate that chemicals like PFAs can be just as harmful through dermal absorption as they are through ingestion. Additionally, chemicals like chlorine in the water can cause chronic dry skin, or aggravate certain skin disorders like eczema, and cause brittle and damaged hair. A whole home water filtration system ensures every water source in your home provides clean and pure water. Whether you enjoy a long hot shower, soak in a hot tub, or even relax in a steamy sauna, you can rest assured your skin and your lungs are absorbing chemical-free water.
Improved Indoor Air Quality
The water coming through your pipes may contain more than just solid contaminants. It can also release harmful gasses into the air of your home. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) vaporize into the air, effectively maximizing absorption. PFAs volatilize through heated water. Further, normal activities like washing dishes, doing laundry, or flushing the toilet can produce harmful gases. Therefore, a whole home filtration system that prevents VOCs, PFAs, and other compounds from entering your home is the best defense.
Positive Environmental Impact
Although you and your loved ones will benefit from a whole home water filtration system, you will also reduce your environmental footprint. Do you buy water bottles in order to ensure safe, clean drinking water? A water filtration system eliminates the need to purchase plastics unnecessarily. In turn, you will also save money on bottled water.
When prioritizing your family’s health, it is important to choose a whole home water filtration system that can filter the most harmful chemicals out of your water while maintaining the positive aspects of water. The Aquaspace POLARIS™ Whole Home System delivers safe, clean, and beneficial water for every point in your home. Enjoying purified water is simple and convenient with Aquaspace.
