Why Filter the Water | Chicago & Northwest Suburbs
Over 2,100 known toxins have been identified in our nation’s water supply. Your water filter is the last line of defense between the tap and your body. Picking the right water filtration system is crucial, but it depends on the type of water in your area.
While Des Plaines, IL, and its surrounding communities generally have excellent drinking water, there are still plenty of reasons to use a filtration system. The chlorination in our water supply is a known carcinogen. The chemicals in our water can cause problems for people with sensitive skin or allergies. Showers cause water to vaporize, exposing us not only through our skin but also through inhalation, as the chemicals enter our lungs and the mucous linings of the nose. In fact, studies have shown that the body can absorb more harmful chemicals in just 10 minutes of showering than from drinking eight glasses of water over the course of a day.

6 Reasons Why You Need Water Filtration
Water filters reduce lead, remove contaminants, parasites, and harmful bacteria. Additionally, people with sensitive skin and scalps will notice and appreciate the reduction in chlorine and other chemicals while showering, leading to healthier skin and hair.
2. Help the Environment
Using a water filtration system not only saves money but also helps the environment. Islands of plastic bottles are floating in our oceans, and the problem has grown so large that scientists can now see these accumulated masses of plastic waste from space. By switching to filtered water, you can significantly reduce plastic waste.
3. Save Money on Plumbing
Filtered water reduces wear and tear on your plumbing and appliances. Filters remove metals, chemicals, and minerals from the water, preventing build-up and extending the life of your pipes and appliances. This can save you money on repairs and replacements in the long term.
4. Save Money on Water
Bottled water is expensive. The typical cost of tap water is 0.002pergallon,comparedtotheaveragecostofbottledwaterat8.26 per gallon. While water filtration systems vary in cost, they are a cost-effective solution that will save you a fortune over time.
5. Save Your Soap
Whole-house water filtration systems work similarly to water softeners by removing hard minerals that prevent soap from lathering properly. This means you’ll use less soap and get better results, whether you’re washing dishes, doing laundry, or taking a shower.
