Top 6 Benefits of a Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System

People continually are discovering problems with their home tap water. Expecting the water that comes out of the faucet to be fresh, pure, and toxin-free is not currently a reasonable assumption. Many in the Ohio Valley consider reverse osmosis water filtration as a better alternative to their regular tap water or even bottled water.

1. No Sodium (Salt)

The reverse osmosis water filters remove sodium, or salt, from your water cutting down on related health problems such as high blood pressure, kidney disease, and liver complications. Water softeners cannot achieve the same desalination that reverse osmosis systems can.

2. Goodbye Lead

This system also eliminates lead. We have seen the terrible impact of lead poisoning in Flint, MI, and we need not repeat that. Even at low levels, lead can lead to nerve damage, brain damage, and high blood pressure. What is even worse about lead is that children are more susceptible to its effects. The infrastructure of many major cities has gotten so bad that lead poisoning is a real danger. Protect your family with a filtration system.

Locate your water softener. Make sure the area around it is well-insulated to ensure you will maintain your water softener’s ability to function. Don’t make your water softener work too hard by keeping it in frigid conditions. If full insulation is too big of a step this year, try getting a pipe sleeve to help in the meantime.

3. Drop Your Utility Costs

Wintertime is a good time to be inside, staying warm. While away from home, make sure to unplug your water softener. When you’re home, make sure to check on your water heater, water softener, and general plumbing from time to time. If a problem comes up, call a professional plumber right away. If you have trouble with your water softener, call Ohio Valley Pure Water to solve the issue.

4. Low-Key Maintenance

The system is an easy one to maintain. Just make sure to change the filters twice a year, about every six months. You can choose the DIY route with the filter change or call in a professional water technician.

5. Save on Space

No matter how large your home is, we could always use just a bit more. Especially for those with a small house, reverse osmosis systems will help out by requiring much less space than other water systems. Most fit right under your kitchen sink or corners of rooms.

6. Cut Down on Bottled Water

Having a reverse osmosis system will eliminate your need for bottled water. Water bottling factories often use reverse osmosis systems, so you are getting that quality right at home. Plus, you will cut down on your consumption of plastic bottles, one of the most significant non-biodegradable materials.
