Benefits of filtered water

Drinking water is important to our health and that means that making sure the water we are drinking is of a high quality is incredibly important to our bodies and our ecosystem. This is why domestic water treatment and water filters are becoming more popular as people look to improve the quality and taste of their tap water.

From many different aspects, there are several benefits to using filtered tap water. It helps to reduce people’s reliance on bottled water, it improves on the quality of tap water and it helps the environment. Here are a few of the key benefits to using filtered tap water :

Improved taste and odour : Filtering tap water can improve its taste and odour by removing chlorine, sediment, and other impurities that can affect its flavour and smell. Depending on where you live, tap water may be of a low quality and in some places in the UK, it may be undrinkable without boiling or treatment. With the UK’s water quality continually dipping and it being ranked lowly in Europe for drinking water, filtering tap water is becoming more and more of a necessity.

Healthier drinking water: Tap water can contain contaminants like lead, bacteria, and other harmful chemicals that can cause health problems. Filtering tap water can remove these contaminants and make it safer to drink. As mentioned before, water conditions are dropping in the UK and poor water quality is leading to more cases of water poisoning and general illness.

Saves money: Using filtered tap water is more cost-effective than buying bottled water, which can be expensive and contribute to plastic waste. A decent and long lasting filter can be a costly investment but compared to bottled water, it is a far cheaper alternative that pays off quickly.

Convenience: Having a filtered tap at home or in the workplace provides convenient access to clean drinking water without the need for additional equipment or trips to the store. It’s also the case that bottled water is becoming a bit more scarce with recent shortages on plastic bottles so drinking tap water through a filter is altogether more convenient.

Reduces environmental impact: By using filtered tap water instead of bottled water, you can help reduce the amount of plastic waste in landfills and oceans, which is a major environmental issue. The resin typically used inside each filter is infinitely regenerable and can be washed and completely recharged, ready for future use. The resin loses no performance in this process and actually gets more efficient as it's re-used.

In summary, using filtered tap water can improve taste and odour, provide healthier drinking water, save money, offer convenience, and reduce environmental impact. Filtered water is becoming more popular and accessible and the price points on water treatment tools and filters are continually dropping to make them more accessible for domestic use, rather than just at commercial levels. A water filter is a device that improves over time and is immediately beneficial to you, providing cleaner and better tasting water.
