What is Whole-House Water Purification?
Whole-house water purification lets you enjoy great-tasting, fresh, and pure water at any time. Water filter systems remove impurities from your water, such as lead, pesticides, and bacteria, increasing its overall quality. Different models use different whole-house water filtration media, such as physical filtration combined with carbon to adsorb odors and gases.
Your water system may also benefit from water softener installation, which helps remove minerals that cause limescale buildup. This is especially beneficial in areas like ours with hard water, which contains 120 or more parts per million (PPM) of minerals such as calcium and magnesium. Over time, hard water causes mineral buildup in pipes and appliances, leading to poor water flow, clogs, and premature failure.
Mayfield Heights is just over the 120 PPM threshold. Choosing a water softener installation from Anderson Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric is a great way to extend the life of your water system and improve the quality of your drinking water.
While it’s possible to use water filtration jugs and other methods to improve water quality, purification happens after the fact — mineralized water has already made its way through your water system, leaving mineral deposits behind. Water softener installation solves this issue. For other impurities, whole-house water filtration provides a simple, centralized system that treats all water in your home.
Installing a whole-house water purification system offers several benefits, including:
- Fresh, clean-tasting water
- Increased plumbing and appliance lifespans
- Less mineral build-up in pipes and connectors
- Softer, cleaner laundry
Choosing whole-house water filtration paired with water softener installation can also help reduce your use of bottled water. It makes sense; when your tap water tastes clean and fresh, it’s easy to pour and enjoy a glass. If your water has an unpleasant odor or taste, you’ll avoid it in favor of bottled alternatives. It affects the flavor of coffee, tea, and food. The result is a win-win: You spend less on bottled water and create less environmental waste.
