Many South Africans use alternative water sources like rainwater harvesting and boreholes. However, when it comes to utilizing non-municipal water the safety and cleanliness of the water are of foremost concern. Let’s take a look now at some of the common contaminants in non-municipal water.
The most common contaminants found in rainwater and borehole water include sediment, organic matter, bacteria, viruses, metals, and pesticides.
To use your water safely, these contaminants need to be filtered out with a water filtration system. To start with you will need to collect a sample of the water and have it tested at Bemlab. Thereafter, a water filtration system will be designed based on your water analysis results.
Let’s look now at the benefits of water filtration:
- You will have clean, safe drinking water
- You will save money because you won’t need to buy bottled water
- It helps protect the environment
- It helps prevent skin irritations
- Your water will have an improved taste and odour
- Water filtration protects your health
- It gives you convenient and easy access to clean water
- Water filtration protects your appliances and plumbing
1. CLEAN, SAFE DRINKING WATER
The water filtration system removes the pollutants in your water. As a result, you will have clean, safe drinking water. This is something we just can’t underestimate here in Cape Town where we have had warnings from the Council about the quality of our tap water. Water filtration gives you peace of mind that the quality of your water is excellent and safe for consumption.
2. YOU WILL SAVE MONEY
Many people buy bottled water for drinking. However, this adds up and can become pricy over the long run. Clean, filtered water in your taps means that you won’t need to spend money on buying drinking water.
3. IT HELPS PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT
We all know that one of the best ways to protect the environment is to cut down on the amount of plastic we use. Installing a water filtration system means that you won’t need to buy plastic bottles of water that will end up in the dump or need to be recycled. It’s a small, yet effective way of protecting the environment.
4. IT HELPS PREVENT SKIN IRRITATIONS
Many people are sensitive to some of the chemicals found in Council water. In particular, those with eczema and psoriasis can experience skin flare-ups and irritations. Water filtration can help you avoid this because these irritants are filtered out of the water.
5. YOUR WATER WILL HAVE AN IMPROVED TASTE AND ODOUR
From time to time our municipal water can have an unpleasant taste or odour. This makes it very offputting to drink it. Water filtration means that you are able to address these issues and enjoy pleasant-tasting, odourless water.
6. WATER FILTRATION PROTECTS YOUR HEALTH
Often times unfiltered water can contain harmful viruses and bacteria. These can be detrimental to your health. Filtering your water means that you will protect your health. That’s truly priceless.
7. IT GIVES YOU CONVENIENT AND EASY ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER
Your filtered water can be connected to your plumbing system so you can have convenient and easy access to clean water. It’s as simple as opening a tap!
8. IT PROTECTS YOUR APPLIANCES AND PLUMBING
Sediment and mineral deposits in unfiltered water can build up, clog and damage your appliances and plumbing. Installing water filtration means that you protect your appliances and plumbing against this.
As you can see, water filtration comes with so many excellent benefits. By investing in a reliable water filtration system, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that your water is safe and clean. As a result, it’s well worth the investment!
