The Importance of Water Treatment for Your Home

There's been some speculation over the years as to the importance of water treatment. We're here to set the record straight.

The following guide tells you exactly what water treatment can do for your home. You'll learn the various water treatment options, what they do, and the amazing benefits they provide you and your family.

Want to know more? Learn all about it in this guide.

The Different Water Treatment Systems and What They Remove

To understand the importance of water treatment, you must first understand what water treatment does.

Activated Carbon Water Filters

The activated carbon in these systems removes contaminants in water by bonding with them when the water passes through. These are highly effective at eliminating:

  • Chlorine
  • Chloride
  • VOCs
  • Nitrate
  • Lithium
  • Phosphate
  • Microplastics
  • Pesticides
  • Herbicides

Carbon filters are the number one most effective system for removing trihalomethanes (THMs—poisonous chlorine byproducts) and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs). They're also number one for filtering out pesticides and herbicides.

Reverse Osmosis Filter Systems

RO systems utilize a semi-permeable membrane that allows water molecules to pass through while blocking other molecules. These typically remove many more types of contaminants than carbon filters. In addition to what carbon filters remove, RO systems also filter out:

  • Viruses
  • Bacteria
  • Lead

There are some NSF-approved carbon filters designed to remove these contaminants as well. But many carbon filters let these contaminants slip right through.

Water Softeners

Water softeners make water more gentle for your skin and household appliances. They do this by removing excessive minerals like magnesium and calcium that make the water "hard."

The Benefits of Treating Your Water At Home

Now, let's look at the ways you can benefit from these water treatment systems.

Protect the Health of Your Household

Just look at all the toxins listed above that water filtration systems remove. As you can see, there are a number of hazardous ingredients you and your household will consume in your unfiltered tap water. Filter these out of your water and eliminate them from your life!

Protect Your Appliances

Hard water is so named for a good reason. It's extremely damaging to any household appliances that normally come into contact with it (sink fixtures, dishwashers, washing machines, etc.). It's also not very nice to your skin, scalp, and clothing.

Save Money and Protect the Environment

The most common alternative to home water filtration is buying case after case of bottled water. It doesn't take long for that to outweigh the cost of installing a water filtration system, even an expensive one.

Besides that, it's extremely bad for the environment. 70% of these bottles end up in landfills—where they'll remain for 500 years until they finally decompose.

The Importance of Water Treatment

Chad was a pro..... personal..... and got right to work...... he explained each step he was taking and why .... very pleased with his. service and will highly recommend

Andy M.

Detailed orientated and honest inspection. Chad took his time and explained everything that was going on very well. The service fee was fair for the small issues he fixed, and he was able to make a referral for water restoration for us, I would use his service again and plan to when our water heater goes out.

Katie D.

Kyle Urban is great! He does beautiful work and is a great guy! We will request him personally from now on.

Kelly W.

I think there the best

Michael D.

Very professional and informative!

This was THE most painless repair experience! We had a leak in a pipe behind our water heater, spewing water out into space, ugh. Joe and his apprentice, Dan, were here in about an hour or so. They were both so very friendly from the moment they showed up at the front door! After they determined the problem, we discussed the needed repair, and then they began to replace the pipe(s) behind the water heater. This was pretty much an all-day job and I can honestly say it was no problem having them in my home. They were not only professional and courteous employees; they were two very kind individuals, who were also comfortable and friendly around my crazy dogs! I have had nothing but the finest experiences with this company and cannot recommend them highly enough! They are the best!

"They were very professional and on time, the technician did what he was suppose to do then cleaned up and left me with instructions on how to finish installing the parts after I finish doing some tile work that needs to be done."

Andrei G.
