Water softeners and water filtration systems are not the same. Unlike Water softeners that are specifically designed to remove hard minerals, water filtration systems are designed to remove an even broader range of contaminants such as iron, sediment, and chemicals that are common contaminants found in water. They can, however, be combined into a single unit.
One of the most appealing features about a water filtration system is that the system itself requires little – to no - maintenance. They automatically clean, flush, and drain the internal filters for a continuous supply of filtered water throughout your home. Not only do water filtration systems supply healthy drinking water, they also extend your plumbing fixtures and heating appliances lives by eliminating mineral build-up.
Some of the benefits of using a water filtration system include:
- Water not only tastes better, but also smells better too because bacterial contaminants, chlorine, and other substances are removed.
- A solid block carbon water filter can remove hazardous contaminants from drinking water while retaining healthy mineral deposits that balance the pH of drinking water.
- Water filters offer the last line of defense between the body and known toxins that may possibly be existing in your drinking water.
- The convenience of filtered water from your tap provides healthy water for cooking as well as cleaning and drinking.
- Over time, water filters are more cost effective than buying filtered bottled water and even better for the environment.
