BENEFITS OF Water Purification Systems In Knoxville, TN

The greatest advantage of drinking purified water is the protection from the impurities that are found in the Knoxville, TN tap water. Though the city tap water has been treated to remove major contaminants, the chemicals added during the treatment process also pose new safety risks to the drinking water..

Besides the chemicals added during the treatment process, water traveling through the city’s plumbing grid and then through your plumbing system will pick up any impurities that adhere to the surfaces of the pipes and will end up in your tap water. This situation happens very frequently in older plumbing systems, where the pipes have some corrosion.

Below are some of the common contaminants found in Knoxville tap water over the years:

• Arsenic
• Lead

One of the most common questions homeowners ask is “What benefit will I get with a water softener?” If you live in an area like Knoxville, TN where hard water is common, the answer is…many benefits!

Essentially, a water softener system eliminates the calcium and magnesium found in hard water, and will make your water soft. A whole house water softening system requires very little maintenance and will typically last between 15-20 years, reducing your electricity bill and eliminating scale throughout your plumbing.

Some of the main benefits of a water softener system are as follows: 

• Your Energy Bill Will Be Lower. When considering the benefits of a water softener system, one of the primary points is reduced energy consumption. Your water heater’s exchange efficiency improves significantly with soft water, plus you will not have to use as much warm water in the shower or when washing dishes.
• Extended life of plumbing system and related appliances. Hard water causes calcium, lime, mineral and rust deposits throughout your pipes, and in your water heater, toilets, sinks, etc. causing costly clogs and erosion that greatly reduces their effective life expectancy. 
• Fewer Stains On Household Items. The minerals in hard water produce spots and stains on household items like clothes, cutlery, cups, sinks, and appliances. This is very unsightly and requires frequent cleaning. With a water softener, the minerals are eliminated and therefore, so too are the spots and stains.
• Softer Fabrics. If you’ve ever noticed that your laundry comes out stiff and scratchy, that is a sign of hard water.  A water softener leaves laundry feeling soft and plush. 
• You’ll Use Much Less Water. You need a lot of hard water when you are cleaning thanks to the scale and the fact that lather does not form readily. After installing a water softener, you might be surprised at how much less water you need.

With all of the benefits of a water softener and water purification system, the system will pay for itself in no time at all based on the associated savings.

• Reduced medical expenses: Enjoy better health with purified water.
• Eliminate bottled water expenses: No need for bottled water when you can enjoy pure, great tasting water right from the tap.
• Save on plumbing repairs and appliances: Pipes and appliances require less maintenance and also last longer due to the elimination of hard water mineral scaling, saving you on repairs and replacement.
• Reduced water bill: More efficient water/less water usage means your water bill will be less.
• Save on cleaning products: Soaps & detergents stretch further with softened water, so you will use considerably less. You’ll also find that you no longer have unsightly water spots and/or mineral deposits to constantly clean.
• Save on toiletries: Softened water leaves hair and skin silky and healthier, without the need for so many costly products.
• Save on clothing and linens: Clothing, towels, sheets, etc will last considerably longer when laundered in soft water.
