About Water Filtration Systems for Convenience and Savings

By Joseph Nagy

Today's trend of health conscious people moving toward natural health is huge. Pure drinking water has been recognized as being most vital to our health. Shockingly, there are over 2,100 different toxins that could be contaminating your tap water.

A lot of people are buying bottled water, thinking this is the only solution. Some reports claim that bottled water isn't much better. Not only is it very expensive, but it harms the environment with the millions of plastic bottles that are being manufactured, transported, then dumped in our landfills, slowly killing our planet!

The solution to protecting your health, your family's health, and the health of our planet is a home water filtration system. There are many different water purifying systems that can be installed in your home. When you begin to research water filtration systems, you will notice significant differences between products, including their cost.

A lot of people have a reverse osmosis water filtration system installed under their kitchen sinks for pure drinking water. This system does a great job of removing contaminants; but, unfortunately, it also removes beneficial minerals, like calcium and magnesium, just to name a couple.

Of the many other water filtration systems, some remove more toxins than others; therefore, you could still be drinking contaminated water. Be sure to check what features you are getting compared to how much you are spending.

Shower filters are also available. Remember, when you shower or bathe, the warm water opens up the pores of your skin for the water to penetrate. Pure water is very beneficial for the skin as it hydrates it. Many contaminants in our water can cause dry, itchy skin, skin rashes and other ailments. Breathing the steam from contaminated water can be harmful to your lungs and contribute to asthma and upper respiratory problems.

A whole house filter would be an easier solution, saving time and money on maintenance and replacement filters. One system that purifies drinking water and our shower water would be very convenient. A whole house water filtration system also purifies laundry water and cooking water.

While being health conscious, we cannot help but to be budget conscious too. If you have already figured out the cost of drinking water, you may be comparing it to the per-unit cost of gasoline! Figure out how much you're spending for drinking water for a year and keep this number in mind when shopping for your water filtration system

One thing to look at is the cost of maintenance and replacement filters for the system you are purchasing. The filters should be rated to indicate how many gallons of water can go through them before they need to be replaced. A good system is homeowner-friendly with easy to read maintenance instructions so you can easily change the filters yourself. You should find that maintenance of a water filtration system is not as costly as buying bottled water.

If you're going to spend the money, be sure to get a system with multi-filtration to remove all the toxins. Choose a system that has been on the market for a long time; one that is popular is likely to be a good choice and replacement filters should be easy to get. Be sure to find out about replacement filters when you purchase your unit; see if they are available at you local hardware or home-improvement store, of if you need to order them.

With adequate research into water filtration systems, you should have a pretty good idea of what you want to have installed in your home. When you consider the purchase, installation and maintenance costs, compared to the cost of purchasing bottled water, also think about the convenience. You will no longer be going out to get bottled water each week; no more plastic bottles cluttering up the house and the landfills. With a whole house water filtration system, you get the added bonus of improving the quality of all your water, for better results with laundry as well as safe cooking and showering water.

There are many products available to suit your individual needs and fit your budget. Whether you just want a filter for one faucet, a shower filter, or a whole house filter, do your research to be sure you get a water filtration system you will be happy with. - 17274
