Better Water Concepts - Water Treatment Information
Water is life. You need it to live. Drinking and using high-quality water can improve your health, but contaminated water can make you sick or even kill you.
Better Water Concepts is here to guide you to the best option for a water treatment system that is right for you.
Why You Need Your Own Water Treatment System
First, if you’re on a public water supply system, things happen. Taste and odor problems arise. The supply can become contaminated. The treatment process could change (like Flint, MI). Having your own water treatment system can help guard against these issues and many more.
If you have a well, the treatment systems need to be more advanced. The whole process of making the water safe is in your hands. You will need to take care of minerals in the water. You will also need to make sure the water is disinfected.
Some impurities, like Chromium, can build up in the body over time and cause health problems. Others can just make the water smell or taste bad. Which causes you to drink less water. Drinking less water robs you of the health benefits of drinking water.
The big issue facing drinkers of water is summed up in two questions.
What is in my water that could hurt me or my family?
Every water supply is unique. Water supplies have different water treatment processes. They have different water sources. One city may have too much of one contaminant. The next city over may not have any or a tiny amount. People who get their water from wells can have a wide range of impurities. So, finding out what is in your water is an important first step.
How do I get rid of impurities in my water?
There are a lot of water treatment options available. Some are inexpensive and very effective. Some are very expensive and effective.
The problem is, people will purchase a water treatment system without answering the first question: What is in my water that could hurt me or my family?
Some may buy an expensive water softener system that won’t remove the harmful impurity in their water. Others may think that boiling their water is all they need to do to make the water safe.
Both could be wrong and the results could be tragic.
The following is a list of treatment options you have for your home and some benefits of each.
