Install a Whole-Home Water Filter for Better-Tasting, Healthier Tap Water in Kingwood

Drinking water can generally be expected to contain traces of impurities, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. 

A whole-home water filter from Finch Air Conditioning and Heating can ensure fresh water for everything from drinking to bathing to washing clothes.  

Not only is this filter crucial for better-tasting, odorless water, it’s also beneficial for protecting your family’s health.

Know What’s in Your Drinking Water

A whole-home water filter removes chemicals you drink or that your skin absorbs.

For example, a filter helps remove:

  • Heavy metals
  • Chlorine
  • Lead
  • Industrial chemicals
  • Trihalomethanes, many of which are thought to be a contributor to cancer

Water quality varies by region and is impacted by the refinement your water experiences. It’s also influenced by construction, mining and agriculture, as well as mineral deposits groundwater flows through.

You can learn more about which contaminants are in your Kingwood home’s drinking water by looking through the Environmental Working Group’s database. About 81 percent of community utility supplies have tested positive for chemicals associated with cancer, database records show.

Kinds of Whole-Home Water Purification Systems

Whole-home water purification systems come in various types, each developed to address different water quality issues. Here are a few of the most popular types:

  • Activated Carbon Filters: Activated carbon filters are recommended for removing substances and vapors like chlorine, sediment and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). They are effective at improving taste and odor but may not remove as many pollutants as other styles.
  • Reverse Osmosis Systems: A semi-permeable membrane lets water in but filters out potentially harmful contaminants like heavy metals or nitrates.
  • UV Water Purifiers: Ultraviolet (UV) purifiers utilize the germicidal power of UV light to obliterate bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms. Even though they are great for disinfecting water, they do not remove chemical contaminants or particulates.
  • Water Softeners: These systems reduce water hardness produced by minerals like calcium and magnesium. Water softeners also help reduce scale buildup in pipes and appliances.
  • Whole-House Sediment Filters: These hefty filters are mostly used to trap and remove larger particles like sand, silt and rust flakes from water. Bigger particles can be harmful to other systems, so these filters help safeguard more sensitive purification systems downstream.

Benefits of Water Filtration Systems

Installing a water filtration system in your home provides several benefits:

  • Improved taste and smell: Water filtration systems help remove chlorine, sulfur and other sources of bad aromas and flavors.
  • Clean and healthy drinking water: By eliminating harmful contaminants such as lead, mercury, pesticides and bacteria, water filtration systems supply safer drinking water for you and your family.
  • Protection for all of your plumbing system: Filtering out minerals and particulates can prolong the life span of your plumbing and household appliances, combating scale buildup and corrosion that can contribute to costly repairs.
  • Less bottled water: Installing a home water filtration system lowers the need for bottled water, reducing plastic waste and your environmental impact.
  • Cost savings: Water filtration systems can save money over the years by decreasing the risk of issues developing in your pipes or plumbing fixtures.
  • Convenience: Installing a whole-home water filtration system makes sure that all the potable water in your house is as clean and safe to use as possible.
