3 Important Questions to Ask Before Buying a Water Treatment System
If you're concerned about the quality of water in your home, you aren't alone. According to the World Health Organization, approximately one out of every three people around the globe is unable to access safe and clean water for drinking and household needs. If you've had your water tested by an independent, state-certified entity and the results show that your water isn't safe, it's time to invest in a water treatment system for your home. Before deciding on a water treatment system, ask these three key questions to make sure you get the one that best meets your needs.
1. Do I Need a House-Wide System?
Depending on the problem with your water, you may require a water treatment system for your entire home. In other cases, simply adding a treatment system to your tap water is enough to take care of the problem. The lab that conducts the water testing for your home will be able to provide information about the contaminants in your water and the best way to remedy them.
2. How Much Water Can the System Treat on a Daily Basis?
This is a question that many homeowners don't know to ask. If your home requires a full system, be sure that it's capable of meeting the water needs of your household. This includes sufficient water for laundry, bathing and showering, and kitchen and cooking needs. If you're unsure about how much water is used in your home during peak times, ask a professional to install a water flow meter to find out.
3. What's the Price?
When asking about the cost of the system, be sure to also find out about any maintenance and upkeep costs. The cost of the equipment and the installation are just the first expenses that are associated with having a water treatment system in your home. You'll also want to know how long the system is expected to last and get a general idea about the cost of service and repairs over the life of the system.
