Water Filtration
Why Water Filters Are Important
With increasing pollution, climate change, and a rapidly growing population, ensuring the safety of our water sources is becoming more challenging. In this context, water filtration plays an essential role in securing clean, safe, and healthy water for future generations.
As we all know, access to clean and safe drinking water is essential for human survival and overall health and well-being. Investing in a water filtration system not only protects your and your family’s health but also decreases the burden on the sewage systems and lowers the need for plastic water bottles, consequently reducing the plastic waste that harms the environment.
At Avery’s Plumbing, we believe that water filtration is a small but significant step since it helps remove harmful contaminants such as bacteria, chemicals, and microorganisms that can cause illness, disease, and long-term health complications.
Unfortunately, boiling water, which was once a sufficient method to kill germs and bacteria, is no longer effective in removing new-age contaminants such as pesticides and dangerous chemicals. So, water filters are becoming essential in every household.
How It Works
Water filters are devices that remove impurities from water through a physical or chemical process, making it safe for consumption and also improving its taste and smell. It forces the liquid through a porous material, such as activated carbon or a membrane, which traps or neutralizes the impurities.
There are many different water filters, each one designed to remove specific contaminants, such as bacteria, viruses, sediment, and chemicals. Some common ones include activated carbon filters, reverse osmosis filters, water softeners, and UV water purifiers.
We offer service for a wide range of water filtration systems, including whole-house, under-sink, and portable filters. So, by choosing to partner with us, you can rest easy knowing that your home’s water will be safe to drink and use.
