water filters refers to water filtration systems
which take the impurities, including limescale out of all
the water that is used in the home. Such impurities and contaminants
could include bacteria, chlorine, heavy metals, mercury, lead,
pesticides, a variety of micro organisms, and much more. However,
as the term whole house water filters suggests,
having such a system installed will certainly require some
professional help, which means considerable disruption. The
initial expense for the system is likely to be approximately
2 or 3 times that of an electronic magnetic
water descaler unit. To continue to be effective at removing
contaminants, water filters need replacing after a certain
period of time e.g. 2 years. This will mean that there will
be an ongoing cost, which over time could amount to thousands
of pounds.
Ever improving regional
drinking water supplies, and greater adherence to stricter
water drinking quality guidelines such as those laid down
by the The Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI), means that there
may not be anywhere near as many dangerous levels of chemicals
present in tap water as we are sometimes led to believe. However,
we all know that some of us live in hard water areas, and
we’ve seen the damage that hard water and limescale
can do to our electrical appliances. Limescale
in the pipes of our domestic hot water systems can also decrease
their efficiency, increase our energy consumption, and increase
our bills. Many of us find that we notice the adverse effects
of hard water on our skin, hair and clothes too.
Armed with these facts, perhaps the most pressing and cost
effective addition to the water system of our homes should
NOT be whole house water filters, but should be a water descaler.
Its low cost, ease of installation, fast and effective removal
of limescale and hard water problems, and its ability to usually
pay for itself within the first year make it a practical,
sensible, affordable, healthy and
environmentally friendly addition
to your home.
