Reasons Installing a Water Filter Makes Pure Sense

Health Benefits 

Even treated tap water can contain contaminants that, over time, may pose health risks. Increased chlorine levels are not everyone’s cup of tea, nor are traces of lead (from pipes in older buildings), pesticides, and bacteria. The right filtration system will remove these contaminants and your concerns. 

You don’t just stand to benefit from clean drinking water… This is additional welcome news if you’re concerned about water quality for washing fruit, vegetables, and other food. 

Enjoyment Benefits 

Many customers say they notice an immediate improvement in the taste and smell of filtered water compared to water from their taps. Clients with a particularly heightened palate say it even improves the taste of their hot beverages, such as tea and coffee. 

Environmental Benefits 

If you’ve avoided drinking water from your tap and you don’t have a filter system, you’re probably relying on bottled water. 

Depending on how much you drink, you might be purchasing quite a number of plastic bottles every week, month and year. Not only does all that plastic harm the environment (even if it is recyclable), but there is increasing concern about Bisphenol A, or BPA, an industrial chemical used in some water bottles, may seep into the contents and compromise health. 

Cost Effective Benefits 

Of course, the purchase and installation of a water filtering system involve an initial upfront cost. However, if you offset that by the number of plastic bottles you buy each week, the maths will work in your favour in the long term. But peace of mind is priceless! 

Appliance Benefits 

Filtering your water may also prevent scale build-up in appliances such as coffee machines and water kettles, increasing their longevity. 

Supply Benefits 

How many times have you visited the office water cooler only to find it empty? Either an entirely new refill must be repurposed, or someone needs to prepare for an impromptu gym session as they insert the heavy new bottle into position. That was not in the job description! 

Maintenance Benefits  

Most new water filter systems are oh-so-easy to maintain and simply require a cartridge replacement a few times each year.

The good news is that there are many options when choosing the best water filter for you. As water filter plumbers, we stock a variety of models and have plenty of information and advice to hand, so you’re always welcome to contact our team for guidance.

Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water Filter 

Great for space-constrained environments and places that need larger volumes of water. You can also tailor the actual office or home water filtration system. 

Water Filter Taps 

This is typically a more affordable option. With plenty of stylish models available, it is great for clients who want their water filtering solutions to work with their decor, not against it. 

Undersink Water Filters 

This is another space-saving solution as all the action takes place under the sink, as the name suggests! 

Countertop Water Filters 

This cost-effective option is particularly popular among renters. It sits on the benchtop and can be easily transported.

The modern-day filtering system is incredibly low-maintenance, but we still recommend an annual service. Why not incorporate this with an overall home or office plumbing health check to ensure everything is running smoothly and there are no early signs of a possible problem? 

As with maintenance of any sort, a stitch in time can save nine. We recommend a check-up to:

• Objective assess the water quality and ensure everything is in tip-top shape. 
• Ensure nothing is clogging the filters. 
• Encourage a long product lifespan. 
• Check the water flow rate. 
• Comply with the Manufacturer’s Warranty, if relevant.
