As plumbers we get to see first-hand the quality of the pipes that flow through the city, carrying the water that is delivered to your home, and it’s not pretty. Your local department of watershed management treats the water so it meets regulatory requirements and is deemed suitable for human consumption. This introduces a variety of chemicals into the water we consume. If you trust the water company for the quality of water in your home, then you do not need a water filter. If you want bottled-water quality water supplied to your family’s home, then a whole house water filtration system will achieve that goal.
“I decided to price and consider a whole house filtration system. Fix & Flow made the investigation very easy. They guided me through picking a appropriate model based on my water usage. Installation was involved, but done beautifully. The whole house filtration system is the single best investment I have made to my plumbing system. No chlorine taste, or smell in the shower, and I get to throw away all the Brita filters.”
