Water Filters

Investing in a water filter is the best thing you can do for yourself and your family. As mentioned earlier, water supplied in Perth is contaminated. Drinking unfiltered water is like drinking disease.

The only thing water supply companies do is treat for microbes by adding chlorine, while not removing harmful chemicals. There is still a lot of bacteria, viruses and pathogens along the supply line, which can mean highly contaminated tap water in need of filtration.

Here are 3 major reasons why you need a water filter:

1) To Remove Contaminants

With a good water filter, you will be able to remove all harmful contaminants in your tap water. These include bacteria, virus and parasitic pathogens. The most common and dangerous bacteria that can be found in your water is salmonella typhi and vibrio cholerae.

Other contaminants water filters remove are harmful chemicals such as arsenic and lead. A good water filter will also remove sediment, minerals and other organic materials in the water.

2) Improve Taste and Smell of Water

You might have noticed that tap water has a terrible taste and smell compared to filtered water. This is because of the high level of impurities in unfiltered water. We also know that decaying organic matter in the water produces hydrogen sulfide, which smells like a rotten egg.

Minerals in hard water and sediment can also cause bad tasting water. When the water is filtered, all these contaminants are removed to give you better tasting, odourless water.

3) Improved Quality Drinking Water

Water filtering ensures clean and safe drinking water. Drinking filtered water can also improve your water intake habits because of its good taste.
