Top 10 Reasons to Filter Your Own Water

Andrea Nichtawitz • August 26, 2024

Ensuring access to clean water is crucial for maintaining health and well-being, especially in regions like the Coachella Valley, and Imperial County.


At So Cal Water Solutions, we believe filtering your water is one of the best ways to achieve the highest quality. Here are the top 10 reasons why you should consider installing a water filtration system in your home.


1. Enhanced Taste and Odor

Filtering your drinking water removes impurities that can affect its taste and smell. In areas where mineral content in the water can be high, a filter can provide you with clean, refreshing water that tastes great. By eliminating the metallic or earthy taste often caused by minerals, you can enjoy the true, natural flavor of your water.


2. Improved Health

Clean water is essential for good health. Water filtration systems can remove harmful contaminants such as chlorine, lead, and bacteria, reducing your risk of gastrointestinal issues and other health problems. Filtered water also supports your immune system by minimizing exposure to potentially dangerous microorganisms.


3. Cost Savings

Investing in a water filtration system can save you money in the long run. By filtering your own water, you reduce the need for bottled water, which is not only more expensive but also less environmentally friendly. Over time, the savings on bottled water can offset the initial investment in a filtration system, making it a cost-effective choice.


4. Environmental Benefits

Using a home water filtration system helps reduce plastic waste from bottled water. This is especially important in regions like Imperial County, where environmental conservation efforts are critical. By choosing filtered water, you contribute to reducing your carbon footprint and promoting sustainability in your community.

5. Convenience

Having a filtration system at home provides the convenience of clean water on demand. No more trips to the store for bottled water or waiting for water to be delivered. With a filtration system, you have an unlimited supply of fresh, clean water right at your fingertips, any time you need it.


6. Protection Against Contaminants

Local water sources in areas like Thermal and North Shore can sometimes be contaminated with pollutants. A filtration system can help protect you and your family from these contaminants, ensuring safer drinking water. This added layer of protection is especially crucial in areas where water quality is inconsistent or where old pipes may introduce additional contaminants.


7. Better for Cooking

Filtered water enhances the flavor and quality of your food. Whether you're washing your fruits and veggies, making a simple cup of tea or preparing a gourmet meal, using clean water makes a noticeable difference in taste and texture.

8. Reduced Plumbing Issues

Water filtration systems can help prevent the buildup of scale and sediment in your plumbing, which can lead to costly repairs. By using filtered water, you can extend the lifespan of your pipes and fixtures. This not only saves you money on maintenance but also improves the efficiency of your water-using appliances, such as dishwashers and washing machines.


9. Skin and Hair Health

Chlorine and other chemicals in unfiltered water can be harsh on your skin and hair. Filtering your water can help reduce dryness and irritation, leading to healthier skin and hair. Over time, this can also prevent premature aging of the skin, as you're less exposed to elements that cause dryness and fine lines. For hair, filtered water helps maintain its natural shine and strength, making it less prone to damage and breakage.
