Do You Know What’s in Your Water?

You should never take the quality of your water for granted. Contaminants in your water can affect your health, damage appliances, and make your water taste unpleasant. Hard water can also leave your skin and hair feeling dry and create buildup on plumbing and appliances.

What Could Be in Your Water?

Tap water may contain harmful contaminants, including:

✔️ Pesticides & cleaning products
✔️ Nitrates & sulfates
✔️ Chlorine & lead
✔️ Arsenic & radium

Contaminants can leak into your water source through old pipes or groundwater, and the results can be harmful—even deadly. Polluted water has been linked to diarrheal diseases like Giardiasis and Salmonellosis. Hard water also causes buildup on appliances, reducing their lifespan and efficiency.

Protect Your Home with a Water Filtration System

Installing a water filtration system is the best way to ensure safe, clean water. Here’s how:

Water Softeners: Say Goodbye to Hard Water

A water softener removes excess calcium and magnesium, preventing buildup in pipes and appliances while making water gentler on your skin and hair.

✔️ Softer skin & silkier hair
✔️ Better lather with soap & detergent
✔️ No more soap scum or scale buildup
✔️ Extended lifespan of dishwashers & washing machines

Reverse Osmosis: Pure, Great-Tasting Water

Reverse osmosis systems filter out harmful contaminants so you can drink and cook with cleaner water.

✔️ Removes chlorine, sediment, and fine particles
✔️ Improves taste and quality of drinking water
✔️ Filters installed directly on your faucet for convenience

Ultraviolet Disinfection: Eliminate Harmful Microorganisms

An ultraviolet disinfectant system uses UV light to destroy bacteria and viruses in water through a process called thymine dimerization.

✔️ Disrupts DNA in microorganisms, preventing them from reproducing
✔️ Kills bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens
✔️ Provides an additional layer of protection for your water supply
