Why own a water filtration system?
Drinking water is essential for a healthy lifestyle. When you move into a new house or a new area, it’s important to do your research to find out about your local tap water. Although EPA regulations create standards for municipal tap water, you may find you don’t like the taste, the feel, or just want another filter to be safe. There are many reasons why you’d want to improve the water in your house and having a Water Filtration System can help.

Different Kinds of Filters For A Water Filtration System
When doing your research, you might learn that there are different kinds of filters for different kinds of water filtration systems. To decide which Water Filtration System is best for you, check out the three different kinds:
Reverse Osmosis
Generally regarded as the best whole house filtration system, reverse osmosis filters use air pressure to force water through a semi-permeable membrane. Almost all containments are effectively filtered out of the system.
Water filtration in a reverse osmosis filter take 5 to 7 stages. You may even find reverse osmosis systems that can produce alkaline water. Alkaline water has a higher pH balance than normal water. Studies have shown it neutralizes acids in the body.
Cation Exchange
This filtration system is commonly known as “water softeners,” or “ion exchange filters”. Positively charged ions are used to attract negatively charged ions that are harmful such as barium and calcium. Barium, Calcium, and Magnesium cause your water to have a bad taste or can build up in your pipes. Having a cation exchange filter can help save you in plumbing costs in the long run. At H2O Concepts, our AMP Force Technology filters are great cation exchange filters that are proven to be effective against hard water.
Activated Carbon
Most of the H2O Concept products are activated carbon filters. They are relatively inexpensive compared to the other 2 water filtration systems, as well as the most common. Carbon filters are great for removing heavy metals, parasites, and chemicals present in your drinking water. Water flows through an activated carbon filter before it flows out of a sink or faucet. These systems can be used for your whole house or just commonly uses sinks.
Benefits Of Using A Water Filtration System
Now that you know about each common Water Filtration System, you might want to know the benefits of having a whole house filtration system. Water filtration can improve much more than the taste of your water.
Prevent Potential Plumbing Issues
If you don’t notice a bad taste in your water, a filtration system is still a smart idea for protecting your pipes. Minerals in your tap water can build up in your pipes leading to corrosion and other damage to your pipes and other water-using appliances. By eliminating these potentially damaging factors at the source, you can extend the life of your pipes and other appliances.
Less Plastic
If you don’t like the taste of your water, you might avoid it by buying cases of water from the grocery store and drinking those instead. The problem with these convenient water bottles is how much trash they generate. If you change the taste of your water with a filtering system you will use less of these single-use bottles and will help preserve the environment. Bottles of water are also much more expensive than drinking water from the tap.
Prevent Skin Irritation
We don’t use water for just drinking, we also use it for cleaning ourselves. When you shower or wash your clothes, you expose your skin to the chemicals and minerals from your tap water. Your water could potentially irritate those with sensitive skin or have conditions such as eczema. A Water Filtration System in your home can go a long way towards alleviating these problems.
