Know What’s in Your Drinking Water

A whole-home water filter removes chemicals you ingest or that your skin absorbs.

For example, a filter eliminates:

  • Heavy metals
  • Chlorine
  • Lead
  • Industrial chemicals
  • Trihalomethanes, many of which are considered carcinogenic

Water quality changes by location and is impacted by the treatment your water experiences. It’s also affected by construction, mining and agriculture, as well as mineral deposits groundwater passes through.

You can learn which contaminants are in your Charlotte home’s drinking water by searching the Environmental Working Group’s database. About 81 percent of community utility supplies have tested positive for chemicals associated with cancer, database records show.

Varieties of Whole-Home Water Purification Systems

Whole-home water purification systems come in various types, each developed to address distinct water quality issues. Here are some of the most frequently used styles:

  • Activated Carbon Filters: Activated carbon filters are ideal for removing contaminants like chlorine, sediment and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). They are effective at improving taste and smell but may not remove as many pollutants as other types of filters.
  • Reverse Osmosis Systems: A semi-permeable membrane permits water flow through but filters out many contaminants such as heavy metals or nitrates.
  • UV Water Purifiers: Ultraviolet (UV) purifiers utilize the germicidal power of UV light to obliterate bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms. Even though they are exceptional for disinfecting water, they do not remove chemical contaminants or particulates.
  • Water Softeners: These systems reduce water hardness produced by minerals like calcium and magnesium. Water softeners can reduce scale buildup in pipes and appliances.
  • Whole-House Sediment Filters: These sizable filters are primarily used to capture more sizable particles like sand, silt and rust flakes from water. These more substantial contaminants can be harmful to other systems, so these filters help safeguard more sensitive purification systems downstream.

Advantages of Water Filtration Systems

Installing a water filtration system in your home provides many advantages:

  • Improved taste and smell: Water filtration systems are a great way to remove chlorine, sulfur and other sources of unpleasant odors and lingering tastes.
  • Clean and healthy drinking water: By getting rid of harmful contaminants such as lead, mercury, pesticides and bacteria, water filtration systems create high-quality drinking water for you and your family.
  • Protection for your whole plumbing system: Filtering out minerals and particulates can prolong the life span of your plumbing and household appliances, protecting against scale buildup and corrosion that can contribute to costly repairs.
  • Less bottled water: Installing a home water filtration system lowers the need for bottled water, minimizing plastic waste and your environmental footprint.
  • Cost savings: Water filtration systems can save money over the years by decreasing the risk of problems developing in your pipes or plumbing fixtures.
  • Practicality: Having a whole-home water filtration system is a way to be certain that all the potable water in your household is as clean and safe to use as possible.
