If your water tastes “off” or emits an unpleasant odor, your family may not enjoy drinking it. Additionally, preparing food using tap water may also affect how the dish tastes, giving it a flavor of fluoride. Reverse osmosis systems produce clean, odor-free water that won’t change the flavor of a meal and may actually encourage your family to drink more water.
By filtering out the magnesium and calcium found in high concentrations in hard water, reverse osmosis filters help reduce issues caused by excess minerals in the water. Scale and mineral buildup not only leaves hard-to-clean grime behind but may also build up to a point where it clogs your pipes or affects the performance of your appliances.
Ease of installation depends on if you choose to put a reverse osmosis filter on one sink or install a whole house reverse osmosis system. An experienced plumber familiar with reverse osmosis water treatment in Barnegat, NJ, does both.
Your plumber may also help you decide which system best fits your needs. Maintenance typically only requires occasional filter changes to ensure your system continues to work properly.
Utilizing a reverse osmosis filter in your home helps the environment by reducing the number of single-use plastic bottles that you purchase. Additionally, while the upfront cost of a reverse osmosis system may be more, you’ll no longer need to buy bottled water, saving money in the long run.
