Arizona Home Filtration System
Many people do not feel that having a Home Water Filtration System is necessary, and the main reason is usually, ’well we didn’t have one when I was a kid’. Seems like a legitimate theory, but the truth is, it’s not. Water is not the same quality that it was 20 or more years ago, and different areas have many completely different water safety issues. Over the last several decades there has been an enormous increase in the amount of farmland pollution, industrial waste dumping and the deterioration of the water pipes themselves that have caused a large increase in the number of contaminants in our groundwater over the years. The water treatment process has had great advances since its start in the late 1700s but there are still many contaminants and impurities that make it past the treatment facilities and into your home.
A few of the main containments that tend to be present in the groundwater here in Arizona are Nitrates, Chromium-6, Arsenic, and fluoride, and more. Are you thinking that fluoride isn’t a contaminate? Fluoride is added to the water in many treatment centers to help dental health, but in fact, there can be too much fluoride and it can be harmful. Many of these contaminants have been known to cause cancer and other damaging effects on vital organs. The human body is made up of 60% water, shouldn’t it be the best possible water.
So as a homeowner what can you do to protect your family and your water? Simple, add an Arizona Home Filtration System to your home. That may not sound overly exciting and can in fact be an overly daunting task of doing research to find the best option at the best price. First, you need to ask yourself a few questions. First of all, do I need a home filtration system? As we just discovered the answer to that is an overwhelming yes! Second, you need to decide what type of filtration system do you want, and which type best fits your family’s needs. Here in Arizona, we have extremely hard water (the city of Phoenix report shows a hardness of 12-17), so everyone really does need something to at least get rid of the excess calcium that is naturally in our groundwater.
Maybe you ask, what does that even mean to have hard water? The term was derived because of the difficulty in washing, it was actually hard to wash in. It is difficult to get soap to lather in hard water and even more difficult to feel like the soap is rinsed completely off. It also hard on your pipes. Hard water has too much calcium carbonate in It and that access calcium builds up inside of your pipes which wears away at your appliances and makes them run less efficiently, which in turn costs you more money. It also causes a buildup on the outside of faucets and showerheads; it is the white-colored build up that is very difficult to scrub off and makes your faucets look old and gross.
