- Whole house water treatment: a necessity?
- By: AL BRACHER
What kind of water treatment equipment do you possess? Does it take care of the whole house water supply at a time or is it a single unit, portable or under counter which you use sparingly for your kitchen unit? Before we start talking about the utilities and shortcomings of any system of water purification you need to know the fact that tap water all around the world is becoming more and more susceptible to pollution and thus a comprehensive water filter system something akin to the whole house water treatment system has become an imperative in today’s urban living.Your needs might vary and you might just prefer the single unit under the counter or counter top filter units which take care of water treatment in your kitchen or bathroom separately. This article in spite of the consideration of the specificity of your needs, wants to make a case for a whole house water treatment system. These are definitely more expensive than the single unit water treatment equipment. But still they are worth a thought.
The whole house water treatment system is set up to filter the water when it is entering the house pipes. It employs multi stage water filtration to ensure pure water at every possible source in the house including bathrooms. How would that help, you would wonder….Water treatment equipment of this kind definitely takes care of a wide range of disorders which accompany tap water nowadays with pollution becoming all the more pervasive.
What kind of pollution are we talking about? You would care to know that there is an incredible number, almost 2100 contaminants filling up the regular water supply system. These would include microorganisms (bacteria, virus, etc.), VOCs, lead and given the fact that chlorine is increasingly being classified as a poison, poisons too. These impurities cause a wide range of deficiencies and disorders starting from cancer and defective births to slow poisoning and thus certain conditions of slow physical or nervous retardation as a result. Tap water is increasingly becoming toxic with the perpetuation of industrial and chemical orders of production in the markets all over the world. Not only this. The water we take a bath in and thus the water which comes in our showers without the intervention of any water treatment equipment have several mixed gases and chemicals which are released into the air. This further serves to contaminate the air in the house. Asthma and other lung disorders and a range of dermatological problems result from these pollutants.
Thus now we are in a position to discuss a whole house water treatment system and what could possibly be the benefits it effectuates. This serves to purify all the contaminants we spoke about in the last paragraph. It thus performs the dual role of taking care of the air and water in your house. It gives you access to drinking water freed of the contaminants and you do not end up spending a fortune on bottled drinking water. This in turn means lesser plastic bottles produced and thus lesser pollution.
This whole house water treatment equipment might mean spending a great deal more initially. But with the passage of time this proves to be a more economical alternative which allows you to spend a lot less on the maintenance of your water treatment equipment. Also you could cut down on the amount of money you spent on procuring bottled drinking water.
Of course like all systems this might have its faults and cons. But in a comprehensive evaluation of water treatment systems options available this one seems at least for us, to be the most rational and economical option. So go for it.
