A Closer Look at Your Water Use – Home Water Filters
While we know about the benefits of water filtration, and also know that there are costs and planning associated with buying and implementing a home water filter, it is important to take a close look at your household water consumption habits. This is important to help you determine where you need filtered water most in your home, and which filter system you will benefit from.
Consumption: a family affair or minimal use?
What are your household’s water consumption habits? Do you have a family of five that are health conscious, and therefore drink water more regularly than soft drinks? Do you live in a particularly hot part of the country where drinking water is a must? At the same time, some families prefer home cooking, while others may rely on take-away meals or prepared meals. All of this influences your water consumption patterns. Determining your household’s water consumption patterns is important: it will help you determine what type of home water filter you need, and what your filter capacity requirements will be.
Bathing youngsters?
Do you have young kids that just love splashing in the bath – getting a mouthful of water in every now and then? We trust tap water to be safe, but if you want your children to enjoy bathing while you keep worry-free, then installing a home water filter can give you the needed peace of mind.
Hand washing dishes
Does your household rely on washing dishes by hand? Although this is not strictly speaking consumption of water, it does mean that you are in regular contact with water. In regions where water is treated with harsh chemicals such as chlorine, this could affect your skin. Regular contact with high chlorine content water can cause skin sensitivities, rash and other skin problems. This, besides improving water conditions for your skin, using a home water filter to filter the water used for washing dishes, will prevent ingesting small quantities of water treatment chemicals, which can stay on dishes long after drying.
The closer you look, the clearer it becomes: we not only consume tap water with our food and water drinking habits, but also with other household happenings such as bathing, and dish washing. For both the obvious and the somewhat hidden consumption of water, a point of entry home water filter can offer you complete ease of mind. Regardless of your household’s water needs, this filter system will deliver pure and safe water for all in your household to enjoy.
