A very good question, “are water filters important?” In today’s
society, life is very fast passed, so much to do and so little
time to do it. Between work, family and all the things in
between, we sometimes overlook the simple things that can make
a big difference in our lives. Most people are health conscious
these days, we try to eat right and exercise and drink a lot of
water, which is good. But most of the time, people end up
buying very expensive bottled water and don’t realize how much
they are really spending, a bottle here, a bottle there, it
adds up quick! There have been reports that bottled water isn’t
even all that good for you, having impurities and even toxins
from being stored in plastic. There is an alternative to this
highly expensive way of getting our drinking water and that is
finding a good water filtering system. 

When you take the time to look at what options exist for
filtered water, you will see that it isn’t all that complicated
to figure out and you will save a lot of money compared to what
you spend on bottled water. Some people get scared when
thinking of purchasing a water filter system. Maybe the price
of the unit seems too high or the thought of having to install
the unit and then do the maintenance turns people back to the
easy way of just throwing their money away on bottled water.
Let us examine this further and see if that way of thinking
really makes sense or if purchasing a good water filter system
is the way to go. We will ask the questions: How do know what
unit is the best for my situation? What are the costs of owning
a filtration unit and how will it save me money? What are the
benefits I will receive from using water filtration over tap or
bottled water? Are there different types of water filtration? We
will look at these questions and see that the difference is
great and filtering your water is the way to go. 

First, there are many different water filter manufacturers out
there and it is important to find an established company that
has a good reputation. Since there is such a great push to
being healthy and drinking plenty of water, there are many
companies getting into the market and copying what good
manufacturers have already put out there. A little research
will help you to know the difference. Once you have found a
good water filter company, it’s just a matter of deciding what
you want out of your filtering system. Do you want to filter
all the water coming into your house with a whole house unit,
or just filter at point of use, such as the kitchen sink using
a counter top water filter unit or faucet filter, maybe a
shower filter or a combination of filters. Regardless of what
you want to filter, a good water filter manufacturer will have
what you need and be able to walk you through the process. 


The cost of owning a water filter system can vary quiet a bit
depending on the type of set up you want.Some people just want
filtered water for drinking and cooking, in that case going
with a counter top or under sink water filter unit is a good
way to go and there are many variations to choose from ranging
from around fifty to a couple of hundred dollars. If you are
just looking to filter your shower water, there are very good
shower filters at very reasonable prices, most around thirty to
fifty dollars. A lot of people are looking to filter all the
water coming into their house; this is called point of entry.
There are many types of units for this purpose and a lot
depends on the home you are putting the unit in, such as what
type of water comes into the house, well or city water. Also,
how big the house is, number of bathrooms and so on. These
units can range from as little as a couple of hundred dollars
to a few thousand. The money you will save by purchasing a
water filter system is great! You will have an endless supply
of clean filtered water for only pennies a gallon, the water
filter will pay for itself in no time when you add up all the
wasted money on bottled water. A whole house water filter unit
can save you an untold amount of money by protecting your water
pipes and all the appliances that use water by keeping sediment,
lime and calcium build up and rust out of the system. 

Other benefits of filtered water over tap are many. Of course
your water will taste better and be healthier for you by taking
out the chlorine, fluoride and other chemicals that are added to
city water, but there are even more benefits to talk of. A good
shower filter will make your skin and hair softer and smoother,
good for people with sensitive skin or allergies. The human body
is made up of over 70 percent water and showering in unfiltered
water allows the body to absorb harsh chemicals like chlorine
and THMs that are harmful and the steam from using hot water
causes chlorine to be inhaled if no filter is used. Also, your
clothes will be brighter and softer especially if used with a
water softener. 

There are different kinds of water filtration, the most popular
are a system that uses filters or a reverse osmosis unit. A
traditional water filter system has the most options of
filtration as there are sediment, carbon, fluoride and media
packed cartridges. It is important to use a filter that has GAC
(Granulated Activated Carbon), KDF-85 and KDF-55. It is easier
to develop a system that will best suit your needs. Reverse
Osmosis water filter system usually will cost more and does
have some limitations. It requires more maintenance and is
limited to a certain amount of water it can produce per day and
may end up wasting more water than it produces. Although, many
people say that the water has a better taste and this is
because reverse osmosis water filter system also removes
dissolved mineral contents which can cause a bitter taste in
some water. 

A water filter system can greatly affect your life in many
positive ways, most importantly by giving you better health, it
will also save you lots of money from purchasing bottled water
and keeping your pipes and appliances in good working order.
