What No One Tells You About Construction and Contractors

Welcome to my blog. My name is Belinda, and I recently built a house from the ground-up with my husband. Through building, we worked with a range of construction crews, contractors and specialists. I learned a lot along the way, but the experience would have been easier if I had known about some things up front. In this blog, I am going to help others who are starting the process of constructing a new home. In this blog, I plan to share all the things no one ever tells you about construction and contractors. I'm writing this from my custom home, and I couldn't be happier. Trust me, the whole process is worth it. Thanks for reading and happy building!

Why You Should Consider an Under Sink Filter For Your Household

Water filters come in a wide variety of types. One of the options that you could consider for your homes is the under-sink variety. These are used to filter the water that you use for drinking as well as cooking so as to ensure you are only ingesting healthy water at all times. One of the main benefits of having an under sink filter is decreasing the occurrences of illnesses in your household. Here are some of the reasons why you should consider an under sink filter for your household. 

Under-sink filters are concealable

By having this installed under the sink, you ensure that the sink area remains clutter free. All the components that make up the filter are kept out of sight by being safely tucked away. This makes these units ideal for people who may have small kitchens and would like to reduce on the amount of clutter as much as they can.

Under-sink filters are easy to install

If you would prefer not to engage in do-it-yourself projects around your home, then a professional plumber install any additions to your sink area. However, in the event that you have some free time and would like to do this on your own, you could successfully complete the task. These filters tend to come with comprehensive instructions and you could even come across some brands that will include an instructional video.

Under-sink filters are low maintenance

With other types of filters, you may find that you have to regularly clean the filters in order to ensure that your water remains safe. This can prove to be tedious from some homeowners. Additionally, if you forget to clean the filters out as recommended, then you could compromise the entire filtration system with clogs. With under-sink filters, you do not have to worry about cleaning the filters. Instead, you simply have to change out the filtration cartridges and replace them with new one. Take note to inspect the amount of sediment that has collected in the filter cartridges. High sediment could indicate a serious contamination problem with your water supply. 

When selecting an under sink filter, it is recommended to have a water testing done beforehand. This water testing will give you a better idea on what types of contaminants are in your water supply. Once you know the contaminants present, you can make an informed decision on the type of filtration system would be best suited for your under- sink filter.  For more information, contact a local plumber.
