4 Reasons Why You Need A Water Filter in California

May 27, 2019 by Mike Smith Leave a Comment

Despite its bad reputation, California’s tap water is considered to have the highest quality in the United States according to regulatory standards. Yet, most residents of California prefer to purchase bottled water instead of drinking water from the tap. There is a general belief that the tap water supplied to homes is unsafe to drink. So let’s talk about the water filter.

Regular Tap water contains various natural contaminants as well as those introduced into the water during the treatment process at water treatment plants.  If you are a resident in California, there are plenty of reasons you might want to install a water filtration system to filter the tap water supplied to your home. Not only does filtered water taste and smell better but filtering your water removes harmful toxins that can cause damage to your body.

Although most people simply turn to bottled water as a safer alternative to tap water, it’s not always the best alternative either. There’s nothing quite as pleasing as being able to turn on the tap in your own home with confidence that the water you are drinking or using for any other purpose is to save and wholesome. Since bottled water companies rarely publish results of the tests conducted on the water they sell, you are never really sure of how safe and healthy what you buy is. Not to mention the fact that clean and healthy tap water will be a cheaper alternative to bottled water. Here are some reasons why installing a water filter is a smart decision.

Why Do You Need a Water Filter?

Better taste and smell: It isn’t news to anyone that unfiltered water typically contains lots of contaminants. Asides from biological contaminants like bacteria, cryptosporidium, giardia and the rest of them, chemical contaminants like lead, pesticides and so on are also present in natural tap water.

Treatment plants only succeed in getting rid of some of these contaminants and even end up introducing some new ones into the mix. Chlorine which is used in purifying water usually leaves the water with a strange taste and smell in the long run. A water filter helps to get rid of these contaminants leaving the water cleaner and with a better taste and smell than regular tap water. You will find filtered water more enjoyable and refreshing than unfiltered tap water.

Filtered water is good for your health:  Water from treatment plants still contain some amount of particles and contaminants. The treatment might have brought it down to a few parts per million, but it doesn’t mean it is entirely healthy just yet. Installing a water heater will help bring the contaminant level to totally wholesome levels.

Drinking untreated water containing abnormal levels of chlorine has been linked to some forms of cancer. These include cancer of the breast, colon, bladder, and rectum. Also, tap water is believed to contain up to 2100 toxins which may affect the functions of the kidney and digestive system. In the long run, filtering your water can potentially prevent health issues like headaches, weight loss, constipation issues, and will cause an overall increase in general body functioning.

Asides the positives of drinking filtered water, merely bathing with contaminated water can adversely affect your health. Sediments and other forms of contaminants in unfiltered tap water can potentially affect your skin negatively and ruin your hair. Filtering your water leaves you with healthier, radiant skin and hair.

It is cheaper and more convenient: Of course, it’s possible to say no to water filters and simply opt for bottled water instead. But you might find out in the long run that this isn’t a really good idea either. While bottled waters are probably as safe and clean as filtered water, it means you have to spend money on water every now and again. Filters might cost you some money to install, but they will turn out to be cost-effective in the long run. You will be able to save up to $100 annually by simply opting for water filtration instead of bottled water with the potential to save even more if your household consumes a lot of water daily.

Also, you have to consider the fact that there are several utilities of water that bottled water can’t simply serve. Food cooked with filtered water actually tastes better than one cooked with regular tap water since the natural flavor is preserved. With water filters installed in your home, you will have access to clean water no matter what happens around you whether there is a power outage at the power plant or you simply need water in the middle of the night. Its clean water always for any purpose and at any time you need it.

Filtered water means cleaner homes, and a healthier environment: Filtered water means cleaner homes. It also positively impacts the environment as well. First, clean filtered water means there is less vaporized chlorine in the air around you which means you get better air quality in the long run.  Washing dishes and clothes with water free for chemical and sediments also makes them cleaner and healthier.

Another important factor to consider is the effects of buying bottled water on the environment. If you are conscious about the environment (which everyone should be anyways) then investing in a water filter is one of the best ways to show it.  Even with recycling, waste plastic bottles constitute one of the biggest threats to our planet. The World Economic Forum projects that by the year 2050, there will be more plastic bottles than fish in the ocean.  Filtering your own water is an eco-friendly choice you should make. It means you will buy less bottled water leading to a greener planet in the long run.

Conclusion

There are tremendous benefits of installing a water filtration system in your home. It is important for your health (especially in California), more convenient for you and safer for the environment. Fortunately, more Californian households are starting to come to this realization. You can join in too for healthier and safer drinking water. There are plenty of water filtration systems you can choose from. Be sure to speak to an expert to find which one suits your need the most.

    When I look at an establishment and they have all five star reviews I get pretty skeptical. Well, I called mr speedy on a Sunday at 12 noon. They called back within 5 minutes and said someone would be out within the hour. I almost broke into laughter when he said that. Not only were they out within an hour, it was less than 40 minutes. They did a fantastic job clearing my main line clog. Work was done quickly and with great care. I also felt the rates were more than reasonable for a Sunday service call. I actually had one company tell me they could come on Tuesday. Really, two days later? I am a customer for life now. You guys have saved the day. Thanks again

    Mr. Speedy Plumbing is amazing. I had walked into my only bathroom and it was stopped up. It had been having problems and I had tried to get my landlord to fix it and each time they came, it never worked. I decided to take the matter into my own hand. I called Mr. Speedy. The service over the phone was great and they sent somebody over very quickly. Upon arrival, they asked me a few questions about my issues, looked over everything and FIXED IT! It was so easy and everyone was so friendly. The service is quick and easy. VERY highly recommend Mr. Speedy!

    Best plumbing service ever! = ) I had a clogged kitchen sink since Monday, after reading a couple of DIY tips online, I gave up...Because it did not help, I started searching for plumbers in los angeles and after calling a few plumbing companies. I found Mr. Speedy Plumbing, I called and explained my issue to Fred, who was eager to listen carefully to see what was the issue. Fred dispatched one of his best plumbers "Raphael", he arrived on time, very professional, efficient and did an amazing job by unclogging the kitchen sink. Raphael your the "BEST" freeing me from the headaches I was dealing with. I would definitely recommend Mr. Speedy Pluming & Root Inc.

    Had an outside garden house valve burst off from the pipe and water came gushing out. Once the water was turned off, I needed someone there on a Sunday at 11 am. Fred was able to get someone out there in about 30 minutes and everywhere else I called was either closed or booked. He did a great job and for a great price! I would definitely call him again for all my needs!

    We started using Mr. Speedy plumbing a year ago, a friend had recommended them. I like their professionalism and attention to every detail. Like a lot of people in Los Angeles, our plumbing is old, out dated and needs a lot of care. We have called on these guys day and night, weekday and weekends, no matter what time or what emergency, they were there and didn't leave until the job was done. Small or large jobs were completed on time with great care.
