Water Filtration for Your Home
Purifying your water supply to keep your family healthy
In a world where water quality is essential for the health of all of us, the installation of a home water filtration system has become a pivotal decision for every household.
As our water sources face challenges like chlorination, odour, and chemical contamination, investing in a filtration system has never been more essential.
This article delves into the significance of adopting a filtration system that eliminates chlorine and harmful chemicals, safeguards against corroding hot water cylinders, and caters to sensitive skin needs.
The Need for Home Water Filtration Systems:
As water treatment methods evolve, the concept of pure, odourless water feels like a distant memory for many.
The recent decision by the New Zealand government to chlorinate all water supplies, including traditionally pristine sources like Christchurch’s aquifer water, underscores the urgency of finding reliable solutions.
The move aims to enhance public safety, but it also introduces the challenge of balancing chemical purity with the desire for pure water that tastes the way it used to!
Beyond Chlorination:
Chlorination, while addressing microbiological concerns, can definitely introduce unwelcome side effects.
Homeowners have reported the distinct smell and taste of chlorine, which can make the simple act of drinking water less pleasant.
High levels of chlorine in our water supply has also been associated with corroding hot water cylinders, which has been a factor in the city since the 2010/11 earthquakes.
Sensitive Skin Considerations:
For those with sensitive skin, the impact of chlorinated water goes beyond the taste and smell.
Skin sensitivity to chlorine can lead to irritation and dryness, disrupting the comfort of everyday routines.
Installing a water filtration system can help avoid the issues for members of the family who are particularly badly affected by chlorine in their shower or bath water.
The Role of Home Water Filtration Systems:
A reliable home water filtration system acts as a purifying barrier, ensuring the water you use is free from contaminants, chemicals, and odours.
By investing in a whole house filter system that removes chlorine and other impurities, you’re safeguarding your family’s health and well-being.
Regular maintenance is crucial, and it’s recommended to replace the filter at least every 12 months to ensure optimal performance.
