Do you know what's lurking in your tap water? From microplastics to lead, the pollutants that can be found in everyday tap water range from alarming to downright concerning. Fortunately, there’s a way to protect yourself and your family from this invisible danger — a water filtration system. A quality water filtration system can provide numerous benefits—not only do these wise investments provide clean, great-tasting drinking water on demand, but they also reduce or eliminate many common water contaminants and the need for buying expensive single-use plastic bottles.
By understanding why house water filtration systems are so beneficial, you can help customers make an informed decision on what type of system is best for them. A quality water filtration system will provide peace of mind now and save costly repairs due to hard water buildup and damage over time. Whether it’s for drinking, cooking, or bathing, it’s vital to ensure that you have as much research-backed assurance as possible regarding the quality of your water.
Ready to learn more? Read on to discover why your customers should consider investing in a water filtration system and how it can help keep their loved ones safe and healthy.
Why do your customers need a water filtration system?
Water filtration systems are a great way to ensure tap water is safe and free from contaminants and provide superior results compared to traditional methods like boiling or using chemicals. Water filters can reduce or eliminate common pollutants like sediment, chlorine, chloramines, rust, lead, heavy metals, hydrogen sulfide, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), nitrates, fluoride, sulfates, chemicals like arsenic and mercury, and particles such as bacteria, parasites, and viruses that can cause water-borne illness.
Water filtration systems provide a scientifically-verified method for removing contaminants from your drinking water, like heavy metals, bacteria, and other harmful pollutants, no matter how the water supply is sourced from outside. Some house water filtration systems, like those provided by ONIT Home even help to filter out PFAS (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances) - persistent chemicals that do not break down but only increase in your body over time. Other water filtration systems like Halo’s Acid Neutralizer help to neutralize acidic or low pH waters.
When it comes to giving your customers healthier, cleaner water, there are a variety of filtration systems on the market that can help. From activated carbon filters to reverse osmosis systems and ultrafiltration, these technologies can remove harmful contaminants from drinking water—from particles, chemicals, and metals to microorganisms. Let's take a look at some of them.
- Reverse Osmosis: One popular filtration system is reverse osmosis. Reverse osmosis systems use semipermeable membranes that effectively remove large particles, chemicals, bacteria, and viruses.
- Activated Carbon Filtration: Another great option is carbon filtration. Activated carbon filter systems use charcoal (or media derived from it) treated with oxygen to attract specific contaminants. These filters are usually best for removing chlorine, bad odors, and tastes.
- Ultra-Filtration System: For well users, ultra-filtration systems rid water of heavy metals, sediment, and other harmful substances. Ultra-filtration systems utilize special membrane technology to filter out extremely small particles.
Modern water filtration systems are highly effective and can improve your water quality compared to traditional methods. They use a physical filtration process that can trap contaminants, making it more efficient and safer than boiling or chemical treatments. Their advanced technology removes contaminants like bacteria, chlorine, and other impurities from the water resulting in cleaner, better-tasting, and healthier drinking water free of unpleasant odors and tastes. These systems can also filter out tiny microplastics, which often go undetected in traditional methods. Because a filtration system doesn't require chemicals or electricity, you can save money on energy costs while ensuring your customers' families gets the best quality water possible.
Besides ensuring that the water your customers drink is safe for consumption, using a water filtration system also has numerous health benefits. Not only can filtered healthy water reduce exposure to toxins like lead, arsenic, and mercury that may be present in regular tap water, but it can also help prevent dehydration since it’s often easier on the stomach and to digest than other types of water. As a result, when your customers drink filtered water, they'll enjoy better digestion and a clearer mind as it helps to flush out toxins from the system. Additionally, drinking filtered water regularly keeps skin looking great by helping to reduce inflammation, promoting hydration, and boosting the immune system, making it easier to fight off infections and illnesses.
No matter which filtration system your customer chooses, having clean water is essential for staying healthy. So do your research and figure out the best way to ensure your customers have safe and tasty drinking water!
How to help customers get started?
A variety of systems on the market make it easy to find one that fits your customers' needs and budget. With a water filtration system, customers can better monitor how much water is used daily, reduce waste, save from having to pay for expensive bottled water, and even reduce utility bills since these systems are much more efficient than traditional filters. In addition, these systems are easy to maintain, and customers won't have to worry about costly repairs caused by the build-up of hard minerals in pipes, as the filtration system helps reduce limescale and mineral buildup. Further, many filtration systems come with money-back guarantees or warranties, providing peace of mind for your customer's investment.
Here are some things to talk through with your customers to help them make an informed decision.
- Decide what kind of system they need. Think about the size of the household, where it will be installed, and any special needs the household may have.
- Help them identify the system that meets their needs. Consider price, ease of installation, efficiency, and maintenance requirements, such as how often filter cartridges must be replaced.
- Encourage them to allow you to set it up to prevent any unwanted issues.
Installing a water filtration system provides an added layer of protection against contaminants and supports environmental sustainability. A water filtration solution is an economical, long-term solution that can help reduce the consumption of plastic water bottles and eliminate the need to buy bottled water.
