Reasons to filter your Mains Water with FilterWall^™

How does mains water contribute to how our bodies operate on the inside and out? And how can whole house water filtration help us live our best lives?  Australian mains water comes from under-ground, reservoirs, rivers and desalinated sea water.  None of these water sources are safe to drink without first disinfecting to neutralise bacteria, parasites, pesticides, and a range of other toxins.

The bad taste and odour that comes from chlorine is simply off putting, and no one likes to drink bad tasting water.  80% of the Australian population aren’t drinking enough and are suffering the effects of dehydration. Water regulates our body temperature, lubricates joints, moistens tissues in the eyes, nose and mouth, protects body organs and dissolves minerals and nutrients to be accessible for the body.  Installing a water filtration system will reduce chlorine making water more enjoyable to drink, and be available at every outlet of the home to keep hydrated.

Chlorine robs the skin of its natural oils and fatty acids that are needed to thrive. Nearly 15% of the Australian population suffer from eczema and showering daily in chlorinated water could be making the condition worse.  High dollar amounts are being spent on hydrating lotions and this can be washed down the drain when bathing in chlorinated mains water. Installing a whole house filtration system can help reduce daily skin irritation and the expense on products.

Chlorine in copper pipes can cause oxidation when combined with Iron & other minerals, stripping expensive colour treatments from your hair.  Daily exposure can be a reason behind quick fading and changing colour.  Reducing chlorine & minerals can result in less frequent salon visits, saving money and offsetting the price of the water filter.

While the calcium and magnesium found in hard water can be good for our internal body, it’s not the case within our homes.  Hard water can affect the efficiency of our home appliances as the minerals stick to the inner lining of pipes, causing blockages and affecting lifespan.  Hard water is also the culprit behind the persistent scaling on your shower screen!  A whole house filtration system along with a water softener can reduce these minerals, while still obtaining the positive benefits for the body. 

Whether it be bottled or heavy water boxes, we’ll do just about anything to avoid the chlorine taste from mains water! However, around 373 million plastic water bottles end up as waste each year and take around 450 years to fully decompose.  Even though 90% of the cost of a water bottle can be traced back to the bottle, lid, and label, many are drawn in by the marketing imagery of natural spring lakes and pristine mountains on the labels.  Good tasting water can be achieved at home with the help of filtration.

There are reports of chlorine being found to be bad for our plants as it is a strong oxidising agent, and a type of hydrochloric acid can form when reacting with water.  Resulting in damaged plant leaves, plant roots, and even stunt growth. Filtration can reduce these negative effects of chlorine before your plants can absorb them.
