Because water is necessary for life, having access to drinking water that is safe and healthy to consume is essential. Longboat Key homeowners who struggle with low-quality tap water or who want to improve the quality of their drinking water hire a qualified plumber to install water purification systems. Although municipalities treat water for impurities and contaminants, additional measures are advised to ensure that the water you're drinking helps rather than hinders your immune system and overall health.
Choosing from the wide variety of water purification products can be a daunting task, so discussing your options with your plumber is encouraged. When determining which water purification system is right for you, consider price, features, and purification processes such as reverse osmosis and distillation. Different water purification systems eliminate different contaminants, so you'll have to select a system that addresses your household's needs and concerns the best.
The following water purification processes are known for particular characteristics:
- Reverse Osmosis - uses a semi-permeable membrane and several stages of filtration to eliminate contaminants and toxic substances such as heavy metals
- Distillation - eliminates inorganic and organic chemicals and heavy metals through a process in which water undergoes boiling, evaporation, and condensation to produce distilled drinking water
