Does Phoenix Water Need to Be Filtered?
Whether you need a water filtration system or not depends on what’s important to you and the people who use the water. Water filtration systems can remove contaminants, improve water taste and odor, and potentially, extend the life of your plumbing and appliances.
While public water systems are regulated, they can still contain various contaminants like chlorine, lead, and other substances that can affect water taste and health.
Water Health and Safety
-
Removes Contaminants:
Water filtration systems can remove a range of contaminants like chlorine, lead, pesticides, and other harmful substances that may be present in tap water.
-
Improves Water Taste and Odor:
Many municipal water systems add chlorine to disinfect water, which can cause a noticeable taste and odor. Filtration can improve the taste and smell of your water.
-
Reduces Hardness:Water softeners, in particular, can remove hard minerals like calcium and magnesium, which can cause scale buildup in appliances and pipes.
-
May Improve Appliance Performance:Hard water can impact the performance of appliances like dishwashers and washing machines. Filtration can help prevent mineral buildup and improve their efficiency.
-
Prevents Sediment Buildup:Sediment and other particulates in the water can damage plumbing and appliances over time. Filtration helps remove these particles, potentially extending the life of your plumbing and appliances.
-
Protects from Corrosion:Hard water can contribute to corrosion in pipes and fixtures. Filtration can help reduce the formation of these deposits, protecting your plumbing.
-
Reduces Plastic Waste:Using a water filter can encourage you to switch from bottled water, reducing plastic waste and its environmental impact.
-
Reduces Chemical Exposure:Bottled water can still contain chemicals from the packaging. Filtration allows you to enjoy cleaner water without the plastic.
