Injecting some feminine energy into a room

Clean drinking water is critical to daily life, but the tap water that most people drink at home may not be as safe or clean as they think. That's why investing in a home water filtration system is a wise decision that can provide you with cleaner and better-tasting water. But with so many options on the market, it can be hard to choose the right system, and where should you put it anyway?

The Different Types of System

Firstly, it is essential to know the different types of water filtration systems that you can find. The most common types use activated carbon filters, reverse osmosis filters and UV water purifiers. Each type of filter has its unique advantages. For example, activated carbon filters remove most of the common contaminants like chlorine, pesticides and herbicides from water. Reverse osmosis filters seem to remove the vast majority of contaminants like lead, copper, arsenic and fluoride, in addition to the common ones. UV water purifiers rely on ultraviolet light to kill bacteria and viruses in water. Knowing your water source and the contaminants in it will help you select the right filtration system for your home.

Where to Put It

Secondly, you'll want to know where to put your system. A good location can increase efficiency, prolong the filter's lifespan and reduce maintenance costs. The most common locations to install a home water filtration system are in the kitchen, under the sink or in the basement. If you have a water softener, it is advisable to locate the filtration system after the softener to prevent the softener from removing essential minerals from the water. Also, make sure there is a nearby power source and drain for easy installation.

Choosing the Right Size

Thirdly, it's important to consider the size of the filtration system. The size of the water filtration system depends on the amount of water you need to filter and the number of people in your household. If you have a large family or frequently entertain guests, a bigger system is required. Similarly, if your water supply contains high levels of contaminants, a larger filter is necessary. It's better to get a comprehensive water test to determine the appropriate size.

Thinking about Maintenance

Fourthly, maintenance is another factor to consider when choosing a home water filtration system. Every filtration system requires regular maintenance to ensure it functions correctly. Some systems need filter replacement every six months, while others require annual replacement. When selecting a system, ensure it has a simple filter replacement process and that they are easy and affordable to find.

The Takeaway

In conclusion, having a home water filtration system is important for cleaner, better-tasting water. Once you've decided on the right size and type for your property, work with your interior designer to find the best place to put it. You and your family will be happy that you chose this type of solution.
