Water Filtration Systems Kerrville, TX – Should I use One?

(830) 257-0363 - Remember when you could drink a glass of water straight out of the faucet and not worry about it being safe to drink? The plumbers at Mosty Plumbing in Kerrville take clean drinking water seriously! Nowadays, report after report mentions increasing levels of pollutants, heavy metals, pesticides, cysts/spores/cryptosporidium and other contaminants in drinking water in communities throughout the country. In fact, a 2009 study undertaken by the Environmental Working Group found 315 pollutants in drinking water in the United States.

In areas where farming or mines exist, pesticides and heavy metals can leak into water tables and find their way into drinking water. Even if your municipality tests water regularly and provides clean water ready to drink, or if you have older lead pipes in your home, your water may not be as pure or safe as you think.

Kerrville, TX Water Filtration System Do I Need One?

If you have a private well or your water consistently smells or tastes funny, it might be in your best interest to have your water tested. This is easy enough and can cost as little as $20. To test your water to see what’s in it, simply call the EPA’s Safe Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791. The EPA can provide you with all the information you need to test your water. Once you know what is in your water, you can choose a water filtration system that works best for you.

In many areas in the Kerrville Texas area, a carbon-based Brita system that attaches to your faucet is all that is needed. However, if you’re worried about fluoride, heavy metals, spores, and other contaminants, a certified NSF International or Water Quality Association approved filter should be more than enough for what you need.

In some cases, homeowners find their water has a peculiar smell, taste a bit like chlorine, or contains sediment. Installing a filter can help minimize or remove these problems. However, it may be in your best interests in these kinds of cases to install a filter at the point where the city or private well water line enters your home. This way, all the water in your house – from your shower, washing machine, to kitchen sink – will be filtered.
