We all know that water quality is becoming a growing concern. At Infinite-Water we understand that identifying common contaminants in our tap water and taking action to filter them out is a vital step in protecting the health of our families. Choosing the right water filter for your water quality and needs doesn’t have to be complicated!
We’ve been serving the Saskatchewan area for over years years and know the local water well. In this article, we’ll discuss the complexities of water and compare two options that many homeowners consider when it comes to filtering their drinking water. Our goal is to empower you to make an informed decision that is best for the well-being of your family.
The Importance of Water Quality
Common contaminants, such as bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, and chemicals can potentially affect our health when present in the water we drink. These contaminants have been shown to lead to a range of health issues, from gastrointestinal problems to long-term illnesses. Additionally, compromised water quality can affect the taste, odor, and appearance of water, diminishing your overall experience.
The Pros and Cons of Water Pitcher Filters and Reverse Osmosis Filters
While trying to obtain cleaner, healthier, filtered water, many homeowners find themselves trying to decide between different water filters such as pitcher filters and an under-the-sink filtration system commonly known as Reverse Osmosis (RO). Each option has advantages and drawbacks.
Water Pitcher Filters Pros
Cons of Water Pitcher Filters
According to the WQA (Water Quality Association) reverse osmosis system’s multi-barrier approach eliminates a wide variety of contaminants that no single system can fully address and is a popular choice for homeowners in areas with poor-quality water or those relying on well water.
Drawbacks for RO Systems
While Reverse Osmosis systems significantly enhance water quality, it’s important to note that some traditional systems can generate wastewater. However, the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) says that many modern point-of-use systems have improved to as good as a 1:1 ratio, signaling a more environmentally conscious approach to high-quality water production.
What Else Should You Know Before Deciding on a Water Filter Solution?
Before you decide on a pitcher filter, an under-sink water filter (RO), or some other type of filtration process, it’s important to understand your specific water quality. A local water treatment professional will know your local water supply and can provide you with an assessment of your water. At Infinite-Water we provide a free basic water test. We want you to have all the information to make the best choice for your family.
Not all water filters can tackle all contaminants, and not all contaminants in water are regulated, so it’s vital to know the composition of your drinking water supply. In fact, the EPA uses the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule to collect data for contaminants they suspect to be present in our drinking water but do not have health-based standards set under the Safe Drinking Water Act.
A water test could also help you gain additional insight into other contaminants that affect not only your drinking water and the health of your family, but also the health of your home, appliances, and fixtures.[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]In our exploration of water filters, it’s evident that the quality of our drinking water directly impacts the health of our families.
