The Benefits of Water Filtration for Your Home
Water is essential for our daily lives, but the quality of the water coming out of your faucets might not always meet your expectations. Whether it's an odd smell, a slightly off taste, or visible impurities, you may find yourself wondering about the benefits of water filtration systems. For Atlanta homeowners, the solution is clear—a proper water filtration system is the key to enjoying clean, fresh, and safe water at home.
At Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, we’re passionate about providing our local customers with expert solutions for their water treatment needs. Here’s everything you need to know about why a water filtration system could make a big difference in your home’s water quality.
What Is Water Filtration?
Water filtration involves removing impurities, chemicals, and contaminants from your household water supply. While municipalities treat water to meet health standards, there are still traces of unwanted elements, including sediment, chlorine, and even potentially harmful substances like PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances). Installing a whole house water treatment system ensures that every drop of water entering your home is cleaner, safer, and better for everyday use.

How Water Filtration Improves Taste, Smell, and Appearance
Taste
Ever experienced metallic or chemical-like water? That taste likely comes from chlorine or other treatment chemicals used to disinfect your water. Water filtration systems—like the ones provided by Brita PRO—remove these additives, delivering fresh, crisp water straight to your tap.
Smell
The smell of your water can indicate impurities you don’t want lingering in your glass. Filters can eliminate sulfur odors that smell like rotten eggs or the faint bleach smell from chlorine treatments. With a filtration system, those unpleasant smells become a thing of the past.
Appearance
Clean water should look, well, clean! If your water appears cloudy, has specks of debris, or has tint issues, a water filtration system removes these unsightly impurities, providing clear, sparkling water that you’ll feel good about drinking and using.
How Water Filtration Eliminates Harmful Chemicals
One of the most important advantages of water filtration is its ability to remove harmful chemicals that may remain in your water supply, even after municipal treatment.
PFAS and Other Harmful Substances
PFAS, often referred to as "forever chemicals," are synthetic compounds used in products like non-stick cookware and waterproof clothing. They can find their way into water supplies and have been linked to various health concerns. Filtration systems equipped with advanced technologies like reverse osmosis are highly effective in removing these contaminants.
Hard Water and Mineral Build-Up
Hard water, common in homes across Atlanta, is caused by an excess of minerals like calcium and magnesium. Over time, this can lead to pipe clogs, appliance damage, and skin irritation. Filtration systems eliminate these minerals before they reach your fixtures, extending the life of your plumbing and improving water quality throughout your home.
