Benefits of a Well Water Filtration System

Well water is often perceived to be cheaper and healthier than city provided water. In some cases, it is, in others, it is not. If you are not sure if you could benefit from a well water filtration system, use this checklist annually to see. 

Below are just a few of the benefits of a water filtration system.

Water Tastes and Smells Better

While filters remove contaminants, it also changes how water tastes and smell. Since you about 60% water, you need to drink approximately 8, 8 oz glasses of water a day.

For many people, the taste of water limits the amount of water they consume. Water filters fix this problem.

Food Tastes Better

Filtered water allows for the full flavor of food and coffee to shine through. Most people believe that food made with filtered water tastes better. Filtered water also allows you to clean foods without introducing new toxins or bacteria to be introduced.

Filters Remove Lead and Other Toxins

Lead causes significant health effects and filtered out of the city provided water supplies. Well water is susceptible to lead contamination. Water filtration can filter this and other toxins out of your drinking water.

Note: not all toxins have a taste or smell so they are hard to detect without laboratory tests. Well water, in some cases, has been shown to have too much fluoride, organic chemicals, microorganisms, nitrates, and radionuclides as examples.

Save Money

No, consuming bottled water is not cheaper than installing a whole house water filtration system. In addition, bottled water has a negative impact on the environment, even if recycled. Water filtration systems can save you money in the long run.

Your Body Prefers Water at a Specific pH
