February 28, 2018
Most people in Wichita never give a moment’s thought to the water that comes out of their faucets. You just turn it on and out comes the water, doesn’t it?
Well, yes and no. There is a lot more to water than meets the eye, some of it good, some not so good.
As you would expect, the water quality in Wichita meets the required safety standards, although it doesn’t taste as good as water in other areas. However, water dissolves more substances than any other liquid, and it carries with it nutrients, minerals, and chemicals. Did you know that you can actually get intoxicated by drinking water? It’s true! If you drink too much water too quickly it will dilute the level of sodium in your bloodstream which causes an imbalance of water in your brain.
Among other chemicals in your water is chlorine, a chemical which is carcinogenic. If we install a water filtration system in your home in Wichita, however, it will remove the chlorine and other dangerous chemicals from your water leaving you with nothing but pure water which contains the nutrients you require. In our opinion it also tastes a lot better than the water supplied by the city.
By using Wichita water filtration systems in your home you will also eliminate the risks involved in showering and bathing in contaminated water. When the chlorine and other undesirable chemicals are removed you will be showering in pure fresh water.
Chlorine Vapors and Wichita Water Quality
By removing chlorine from dishwasher or washing up water it prevents chlorine vapors being released into the air and also has the effect of reducing soap scum on dishes and utensils. If you have anyone in the home who suffers from asthma or allergies, the removal of the vapors can alleviate the effects because the air in the home will be cleaner to breathe.
