How To Tell When You Need A Water Filter

White sink and faucet with green stains.Contaminants of all kinds can creep into your water supply, causing damage to your health and your home. With a water purification system, you are able to filter out these harmful materials and protect what matters. There are several signs to look for to determine if your water needs to be filtered. If you notice any one of them, you should contact us at Reynolds Purified Water and we can do a test and install a home filtration system.

 

Certain particles are liable to be in your unfiltered water supply, including sediments, iron, and chlorine. These materials may look invisible to the naked eye, but they cause various types of damage. One of the worst kinds of destruction is water corrosion, which affects plumbing appliances and fixtures. Eventually the impact of water corrosion is so great that your pipes cease to function. As it is also highly detrimental your health, water corrosion is an issue that should be taken seriously. If you notice signs of it in your home (faulty pipes, blue or red stains in your sink, etc.), you should speak with a professional about installing a water filtration system in your home.

 

Not all signs of contaminated water are readily apparent. Sometimes the evidence is olfactory and gustatory rather than visible. Impure water may possess a strange odor, possibly akin to the smell of rotten eggs. It may also have a peculiar taste. Though unusual smell and taste are not necessarily danger signs, they do point to water contamination. A water system provides you with better tasting and smelling water. Avoid the repulsive aromas of contaminated water and secure a filtration system for your home.

 

These are just a few of the most common warning signs of impure water. Not all of these signs pose a risk to your health, but this does not undermine the importance of a water purification system.
