7 health benefits of filtered water

When it comes to our wellbeing, we usually only start paying attention to it once we start feeling unwell. And that's a fact. Of course, this doesn't apply to everyone, but it certainly does to the vast majority of people — not just in Lithuania, but around the world. By neglecting prevention against various illnesses, we can end up facing some very unpleasant consequences, and once we fall ill, we take medicines that, as the saying goes, fix one thing and break another. And that's true.
It's not for nothing that health experts constantly talk about physical activity, a balanced diet, or simply balance in life, which helps us feel better and become more resistant to illness. The amount of water we drink is no exception when it comes to good wellbeing. But what about its quality? You won't find that in advice about how much water to drink, yet it's no less important — in fact, it deserves special attention.
What are the benefits of quality water for us, and what can we do to keep our water clean and pure? Here are seven benefits, as identified by our own customers as well.

1. Skin hydration

Human skin is our largest organ, and we don't always have enough time, products, or even awareness to take proper care of it. The speed of skin aging depends on the environment and, of course, on what we consume, how we eat, how much water we drink, and even what kind of water we wash it with. We don't need chemical cleansers — antibacterial soap is enough — but with hard water, soap can dry the skin out even more.
Recognizing that your skin is dry isn't difficult. If, after washing with water, you feel tightness, itching, or an unpleasant roughness, and you don't otherwise suffer from skin conditions, the first thing to check is the water's hardness. If a water test shows that the hardness exceeds the norm, it's recommended to soften the water with water softeners. You'll notice the difference right away, and you won't need extra cosmetic products such as moisturizing creams, oils, or anything else. Your skin will become soft and smooth.

2. Beautiful, lush hair

Just like skin, hair is also sensitive to hard water, which dries it out, making it rough and hard to comb through. This matters not only for women, but for men and children too. Water softeners remove the excess calcium and magnesium from the water and balance it out, so your hair becomes softer, you avoid hair loss, and you'll need fewer expensive hair balms, conditioners, masks, and other products.

3. Healthier houseplants

It's not for nothing that our grandmothers and grandfathers used to collect rainwater to water their houseplants. Rainwater or melted snow is naturally soft, and only picks up various elements once it reaches the ground — elements that later end up coming out of our taps too. Living in the city, collecting rainwater or melting snow isn't exactly a simple process, but there's a much easier way to soften water – that's exactly what water softeners are designed for.
If you're not convinced, you can try an experiment and water your plants with boiled water for a while. You'll notice the difference quickly: the plants will become lusher, healthier, and grow faster.

4. A clean home

Keeping the household in order is satisfying, but it doesn't last very long, does it? Think about it: which part of the house takes the longest to clean? The bathroom, of course. Limescale and its deposits are a headache for everyone. They never go away on their own — removing them takes quite a bit of time and effort, and it's not even a one-off job: you'd need to do it every day if you want surfaces to stay shiny. But do you really want to reach for household chemicals and start scrubbing every single time you use the shower or bath and turn on the tap? You can avoid all of that by softening your water. Water filters will keep your home clean for a long time, freeing up your time for more enjoyable activities or simply relaxing.

5. Household appliances that last

If you took a look at the bottom of your kettle right now, what would you see? Yes, that's the result of too much calcium and magnesium dissolved in your water – limescale. You use that same water to make your favorite drinks – coffee, tea. Limescale doesn't just build up at the bottom of the kettle, it ends up in your drinks too. Limescale isn't harmful to people, but it certainly doesn't improve the taste of a drink — quite often it spoils it and changes its color.
The kettle isn't the only household appliance where limescale settles. Every appliance connected to a water supply builds up limescale deposits you can't see with the naked eye. If you don't remove it or use extra chemical products, limescale keeps accumulating, appliances start using even more electricity, and over time they begin to break down. By softening your water with filters, you'll not only improve how your household appliances work and extend their lifespan, but you'll also save on expensive chemical products, and your electricity bills will drop in no time.

6. A pleasant smell

Do you keep your home constantly clean, yet still notice an unpleasant smell that just won't go away? Don't rush to clean everything all over again — instead, run a simple water odor test: pour some water into a glass and smell it. Water with too much iron in it has a distinctly unpleasant rotten-egg or sulfur smell, an unpleasant aftertaste, and a brownish or pinkish color. Naturally clean water is odorless, colorless, and tasteless. Iron removal filters are the ideal way to quickly and effectively remove iron from your water, but before that, be sure to carry out a water quality test so that specialists can then select the right iron removal solution – water filters.

7. Lower expenses

The last, and arguably one of the most important, benefits of water filters is the chance to save money. We've already mentioned that they help cut electricity use, but for anyone who buys bottled water, water filters are the perfect piggy bank. The mineralized water you buy bottled in plastic is bottled from essentially the same kind of taps or similar equipment — so why not have exactly that same water at home, always? Water filters make sure that you and your family can enjoy clean, pure water whenever you want, without worrying about its quality, no matter where you live — in a big city or a smaller town. You'll no longer have to worry about running out of bottled water at home; you can fill your own bottles anytime, and always have something to drink with you, wherever you go.

Get in touch with us and we'll help solve all your water quality problems, making sure the equipment meets all of your family's needs. Filters can be used not only at home, but also in business, offices, and manufacturing.
