A water filtration system or water filter removes contaminants and dissolved solids from the water you shower, cook with, and drink. In addition to enhancing the smell and taste of your water, water filtration systems remove contaminants such as metals (arsenic, copper, lead, etc.), pesticides, sediment, chlorine, and microplastics.
Types of Water Filtration Systems
Depending on the type of contaminants you want to eliminate, there are four water filtration Clearwater systems to consider:
Whole-house water filter
Countertop water filter
Under-sink water filter
Showerhead water filter
Why Water Filtration Systems Are Necessary
Water filtration is necessary because it eliminates impurities, ensuring the water Clearwater residents consume is safe. Water filters can also eliminate contaminants and significantly improve the odor and taste of water.
Benefits of Water Filtration Systems
Some of the benefits of installing a water filtration system in your home include:
Your water will taste and smell better.
Water filters remove harmful contaminants like lead and pesticides, which can be toxic when ingested over a long period.
Using a water filter will prevent you from buying bottled water, saving you money in the long run.
It's also good for the environment as a water filtration system can help keep thousands of plastic bottles from ending in landfills.
Water Softening Services
A water softener removes minerals like magnesium and calcium that contribute to hard water. It typically uses ion exchange technology to replace calcium and magnesium ions with sodium or potassium ions, effectively softening the water. This process helps prevent scale buildup and extends the lifespan of plumbing and appliances.
Water softeners focus specifically on removing minerals that cause water hardness. In contrast, water filtration systems offer broader capabilities, removing a wide range of contaminants to provide clean and safe drinking water.
Types of Water Softeners
There are several types of water softeners, each with its pros and cons:
Whole-house water softeners
Showerhead softeners
Countertop water softeners
Under-sink water softeners
Faucet-mounted water softeners
