Clean Water Is Essential To Life
When you turn on your faucet to get a drink of water, you shouldn’t have to worry whether or not it is safe for you and your family. We have enough going on in our day to day lives without having to be concerned about our drinking water. Safe water should be a given.
Why Should I Consider A Water Filter?
Here in the United States our water treatment facilitates work hard to ensure our potable water is safe. Keeping up with city water demands while maintaining the existing water system is a huge task. Our water travels long distances through pipes to get to our homes. This can increase the possibility of collecting sediments or other undesirable elements in our water supply. Other circumstances that can jeopardize our water are water main breaks or leaks. These are inevitable and have to be repaired by city workers and plumbing contractors alike. When this happens, it is nearly impossible to keep all debris from entering our water systems regardless of our efforts to do so (see below).
So Why Inception?
First off, we care about our customers’ safety and well being. Inception knows the importance of preventing cross contamination of foreign materials into our domestic water supply. Cross contamination control is a big part of a plumber’s job and we take this very seriously. I must admit, all of the world’s pollution and pesticide run off that finds its way into our steams can be a bit scary. Having a good home water filter will put your mind at ease and keep your water clear.

Should I Filter My Whole Home?
If you’re contemplating on filtering your drinking water, you might as well consider filtering your whole home. When doing so, your filtration system will supply clean water to all of your fixtures. Filtering your whole home is not only be beneficial for daily consumption, but is also great for your skin, plumbing fixtures and the air you breath. Air you ask?…… Yes, your air! Most people don’t know that they not only drink chlorine on a daily basis but also breath it in. When we shower the chlorine can actually dissipate in to the air and throughout our home. A good home filter will eliminate chlorine along with other undesirables from your water. Small things like this can really help improve your health.
What types Of Whole Home Water Filter Do I Need?
Sediment Filter
These filters are designed to remove floating solids which are also known as sediments. These are basically larger pieces of debris coming in from your water supply. A sediment filter essentially functions like a net that catches unwanted dirt particles as your water flows through the system.
Carbon Filter
A carbon filter will remove sediment as well but they also remove chlorine, volatile organic compounds, odors and foul tastes from the water. These filters contain activated carbon, which catch much finer particals than a sediment filter.
Multi-Stage Filter
Multi-stage filtering systems will typically consist of a sediment and carbon unit together. We highly recommend this option because it will maximize the life of your carbon filter. Working separately, both sediment and carbon filters can be beneficial, but together you will maximum filtration throughout your home.

RO Water Filtration
Another great option would be a reverse osmosis system. These can be installed in addition to your whole house sediment or carbon filter. These filters are designed specifically for drinking water and are typically installed under your kitchen counter. Reverse osmosis systems kill up to 99% of all contaminates and will give you and your family a reason to kick that nasty water bottle habit to the curb.

What Is Hard Water?
Hard water is the presence of minerals in our domestic water systems. As rainwater falls, it is naturally soft. However, as water makes its way through the ground and into our waterways, it picks up minerals like chalk or lime but mostly calcium and magnesium. Then, these minerals make their way into our homes via piping systems. Hard water is actually very common in the United States, affecting more than 85% of our country’s water. Are these elements bad for your health? Not necessarily, but they do naturally want to make themselves at home as deposits in your pipes, fixtures, appliances and so on, which can result in any of the symptoms listed out above. If left untreated, hard water can actually block your lines completely. So, if you are experiencing any of those hard water signs, you should have Inception come take a look.
