Are Water Filtration Systems Worth It?
Having a water filter installed in your home, whether a single tap filter or a whole-house system, may seem like a daunting decision to make. Is it a worthwhile upgrade? Read on to find out.
A Major Improvement to Your Quality of Life
We believe that accessing endless filtered, purified water can be an major improvement on your quality of life. The upfront cost of installation is easily offset by the benefits.
Unfiltered Water is Ruining Your Skincare
The chemicals used in unfiltered (‘hard’) water include chlorine and chloramines, which strip natural oils from your skin and increase skin sensitivity. Being frequently exposed to ‘hard water’ can raise your skin’s natural pH level — leading to an increased likelihood of developing skin conditions such as eczema.
Often, the money you’re spending on high-quality cleansers and creams is just going down the drain (literally). Using gentle water to wash your face is the first step in investing in your skincare. You can access this by installing a whole-house water filtration system.
There’s a Big Difference in Taste
A lot of our customers live in the Hutt Valley, and as you may know, the tap water here doesn’t taste great. It’s locally and naturally sourced, but a ton of chlorine and other chemicals are added to it to make sure it’s safe to drink. Having filtered water in your kitchen will remove these excess chemicals, leaving you with clean, pure water that tastes much better.
In the long run, installing an under-sink filter may cost less than using a water filter jug such as Brita – it’s also much less hassle.
Water Filtration Solutions for Your Home
If you’re thinking of upgrading your water access, there are two great options to choose from:
Under-sink one-tap filters: These handy little installations are usually great in the kitchen to help yourself to fresh, filtered water that tastes nicer than your regular tap water.
Whole-house water filtration systems: Installing a whole-house system will enable you to shower, wash dishes and bathe your kids with gentle water and decrease you and your family’s chance of skin sensitivity and conditions.
