Why Every Home in Des Plaines and Chicago Should Have a Whole-House Water Filtration System
· 4 min read · Right Away Plumbing and HVAC
Most families think about the water they drink, but not the water they shower in, cook with, and run through their water heater, dishwasher and washing machine every day. A whole-house water filtration system cleans the water at the point where it enters your home, so every faucet, shower and appliance gets filtered water.
At Right Away Plumbing & HVAC, we highly recommend whole-house filtration for homes across Des Plaines, Chicago and the northwest suburbs. Here's why.
Better Water for Your Family
City water is treated to be safe, but it can still carry chlorine taste and smell, sediment, and minerals picked up on the way to your tap. Older homes and older water lines can add more. A whole-house system filters this out before it reaches your family.
Many homeowners notice the difference quickly. Showers without heavy chlorine can feel gentler on skin and hair, and food, coffee and drinking water taste cleaner.
Protect Your Plumbing and Appliances
Sediment and minerals don't just affect taste. Over time they build up as scale inside pipes, fixtures and appliances. That buildup:
- Shortens the life of water heaters, especially tankless units
- Clogs faucet aerators, showerheads and valves
- Makes dishwashers and washing machines work harder and wear out sooner
- Lowers water pressure and efficiency
Filtering your water helps your plumbing and appliances last longer and saves you money on repairs and replacements. Learn more about our water filtration service.
Whole-House vs. Under-Sink Filters
An under-sink filter only cleans water at one faucet. A whole-house system protects everything: every shower, every sink, your water heater, boiler and appliances. If you want full protection for your home and your family, whole-house is the way to go.
