You don’t often think about having contaminated tap water or that it doesn’t taste quite right. Those who don’t like the taste of their tap water will often spend considerable amounts of money each year on bottled water or replacing filters for a filtration system. You can resolve the same problems and more by purchasing water purification services. We understand if you’re on the fence about water purification, so our team at Aqua Doctor has put together a short guide about the problems water purification can fix.
Harmful contaminants
Something many people don’t think about is where water comes from. While it does come to your tap from a water treatment plant, it’s also groundwater. Contaminants like pesticides, bacteria, viruses, and even lead can remain in your water despite the chemicals applied to it and the filters it flows through before coming to your house. Water purification services will help get rid of these contaminants, so you and your family are drinking water that will not make you sick now or in the future.
Taste of your water
Tap water always has a distinctive taste. Much of the taste of your water comes from the chemicals used in the treatment process as well as the state of your pipes. Water shouldn’t taste bad, so if you don’t like the taste of what’s coming from your tap, you should consider purification services. You’ll find that your water tastes much better as it doesn’t have excessive amounts of chemicals or sediment build-up that alter its flavor.
The visual appearance of your water
Have you ever filled a glass with water and noticed that it’s foggy? Water itself is a clear and colorless liquid and should come from your tap looking that way. Your water purifier will help remove extra particles that make your water look less appetizing. You’ll find that clear water is much more appealing when you fill a glass to drink or pot to cook with.
Chlorine content
Chlorine is a chemical used to disinfect water and ensure that you don’t contract diseases from bacteria that live in water. However, it’s not unusual for chlorine content to be a little high, so your tap water smells or tastes a little bit like swimming pool water. Your water purification system will ensure that your water doesn’t taste like you’ve been swimming in it.
Hard water deposits
It’s not uncommon to wash a dish or take a shower and notice that the water leaves a little something behind with white residue. These are hard water deposits that are not only unsightly but can also cause premature wear and tear on your sink, dishes, and bathtub. Water purification will help to remove excessive particles in your water that are left behind after you’ve washed a dish or bathed.
Reduce plastic use
It’s normal to buy bottled water or use a water cooler when your tap water doesn’t taste right. While it’s often not the most cost-effective solution, it’s the easiest. You can significantly reduce the amount of plastic your home uses by investing in water purification services. You’ll immediately notice that your family doesn’t go through several bottles of water each day or have to throw out old cooler jugs when you’re finished with them. Drinking water at your house will be both convenient and environmentally responsible.
