WHY EVERY HOME SHOULD HAVE WATER FILTRATION

Waterborne germs can grow in your water pipes. According to federal and state laws, public water utilities must provide water that meets certain quality and safety standards for drinking. But tap water is not sterile, meaning it might have germs in it. Even when the public water system is working correctly, a small number of germs that naturally occur in the environment can still be in the water. These germs can grow and multiply in the pipes inside a home or building if the conditions are right. For example, this can happen if you don’t turn on the taps for long periods of time and the water sits still inside the pipes.

WATER FILTERATION CAN:

• Treatment can be applied to all water entering your home, which may be important for hard water and volatile organic compounds (VOCs)

• Absorbs organic contaminants that affect taste and odor problems

• Some designs remove chlorination byproducts

• Remove cleaning solvents and pesticides
