Do I Need a Water Filter?

 In Water Filter

Over our many years of experience in the water filter industry, servicing customers all over Perth and Western Australia and even further afield, we have tasted, tested and inspected so many water samples and we have been amazed by our findings.

You would think that living in a country like Australia you would be protected from pollutants in your water supply but this is not the case.

Where does your Water Come From?

Of course your water is treated using all the newest technologies, however in Perth and many other areas of Western Australia and other States, the lack of water means that suppliers rely on several different water sources. Each of these different supplies will have different contaminants at differing level meaning that the treatments are often less effective. Taking the filtration into you own hands ensures your water is cleaner and that your system suits your requirements.

Chemical Contaminants

In order to rid your water supply of diseases and harmful bacteria your water is treated with many chemicals that although better than the diseases can have a disastrous effect on your long term health and well-being. These chemicals can vary depending on where you live. There has also been an increase in recent years of water borne diseases found in your water supply. This has led to many people relying their water filters to preserve their health.

Hard Water

Water in Australia can be very hard especially outside the major cities and along the West Coast. Levels of Calcium Carbonate (a hardness causing mineral) in Perth’s water supply are as high 226mg/l. This is considered extremely hard. So why is hard water so bad? Ignoring the effects on the taste of your drinking water, hard water prevents your soaps and detergents from lathering properly and ruins your pipes and appliances.

For more information on Hard Water read on this article and Perth residents can contact the Water Corporation using the number provided.

The benefits of filtered water are well tested and proven. The key is ensuring you get the system that best suits you, which is where Aqua L’eau comes in.
