Why should you filter your water? In addition to producing better-tasting water, water filtration can reduce the following contaminants that may be present in your family’s drinking water.
Bad odours caused by chlorine
Cloudiness and discolouration caused by sediment and rust
Lead, mercury and other metals
Chemical contaminants (VOCs) that come from pesticides, dry cleaning solvents and other industrial sources
Elements reduced or removed are not necessarily present in your water system.
The main reasons you may want to purchase a water softener are:
to lower energy consumption by reducing scale build-up in water heaters
to reduce the amount of soap needed to create a lather
to maintain plumbing fixture appearance and function
