Water Treatment Facts

Water filters for your tap water also called a point of use device, not only costs only a few pennies to the gallon versus bottled water from the store, but filtered water also has fewer contaminants in it.

Chlorine is often used to disinfect tap water but not filtered back out before it reaches your sink. 

Just because your water may be considered legally safe doesn't mean it shouldn't be treated. The EPA is currently investigating 10,000 contaminants that are in untreated water.

The EPA recommends getting your water tested before buying a system and if your water is from a well, they recommend getting it tested yearly regardless.

A point of use device treats only the water that is consumed so, shower water can still have contaminants in it that can cause problems when inhaled. A point of entry device, a filter that treats all the water in the house, reduces the amount of those as well as scaling, staining, and odor.
