Water Filtration Systems Can Save Money and the Environment

Water Filtration Systems and the Plumbing System

Calcification is the build up of chemicals and minerals in you plumbing fixtures and appliances.  This build up can damage these fixtures.  Treating your water supply whole-house carbon filtration system can remove these chemicals and extend the life of your plumbing and appliances. For example:

• Sediment removed from the water in your home will not build up in your water heater – so the water heater will operate more efficiently and last longer
• Corrosives in the water will not destroy rubber and plastic parts such as the flappers and fill valves in your toilets or the washers in your faucets thereby reducing the need for plumbing repairs.

Water Filtration Systems and the Environment

When you are considering ways to protect our planet, consider these numbers:

• 17 million barrels of oil are used each year to produce plastic bottles in the USA.
• 1.5 million tons of waste plastic water bottles are put in our nations landfills each year.  This plastic does not degrade.  It will be there forever.
• Hundreds of millions of gallons of gas are needed to transport bottled water to retail locations and consumers’ homes.   Hundreds of millions more gallons of gas are needed to transport the waste plastic to landfills.
