BENEFITS OF WATER FILTRATION

When you filter the impurities, chemicals, and contaminants from your water, you’ll receive clean, pure drinking water. But did you know that water filtration has a number of other benefits for your home? These are just a few reasons to filter your water:

  • Softer hair and skin
  • Improved water taste and smell
  • Cleaner laundry
  • Fewer water spots on glassware
  • Longer appliance lifespan
  • Protected plumbing system

Many homeowners in the Brainerd Lakes area deal with orange stains in sinks and tubs from high iron levels, a “rotten egg” smell from sulfur, and scale buildup from hard water minerals. In homes with private wells, nitrates and bacteria can be common. Schroeder’s can address these problems with the help of a water filtration system.

TYPES OF WATER FILTER SYSTEMS

There are many water filtration systems available to homeowners. The best one for you depends on your preferences, your home’s needs, and the contaminants in your water. First, you’ll need to decide whether you want an under-sink water filter or a whole-home filtration system. An under-sink filter only filters water at that location, such as the kitchen sink. It’s a good choice if your highest priority is drinking water, and you only draw drinking water from one location.

A whole-home filtration system provides clean, filtered water to every water source in your home. That means safe, impurity-free water in the kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, and all appliances that draw water. It’s a smart choice for homeowners and cabin owners looking to extend the lives of their appliances and plumbing systems.

Once you’ve decided whether a whole-home or under-sink filtration option is for you, you’ll need to choose a filtration method:

  • Reverse osmosis (RO) systems: These units have a semi-permeable membrane that removes dissolved solids, bacteria, viruses, and other contaminants. They result in highly pure drinking water.
  • Mechanical filtration systems: These systems pass water through a barrier to physically remove particulates, chlorine, rust, and other impurities.
  • Activated carbon filtration systems: Activated carbon absorbs and traps chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and certain chemicals.
  • Ultraviolet (UV) systems: These high-tech systems use UV light to kill bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens in water. They ensure your water is safe on a microbiological level, without any chemicals or filters.

Your Schroeder’s technician can discuss your preferences and needs to help you determine the best option for you.
