Two Unexpected Benefits of a High-Quality Under Counter Water Filter

Visit Nature’s Air and Water and take a closer look at their PureHome Mini 5-stage under counter water filter. 

Not only is this under sink water filter easy to install at home, but it will result in better-tasting, safer drinking water. 

Thanks also to its 5-stage filtration, which includes KDF media that removes scale-forming minerals, it also offers 2 benefits you might not even have thought of, which will be covered here.

No More Hard Water Spots on Dishes and Glassware 

One of the main benefits of KDF media that reduces scale-forming minerals, namely magnesium and calcium, is that if you have hard water, this water filter will help reduce scale in the water you use to hand wash your dishes.

Among the primary problems with using hard water to wash dishes or glassware is that it’s impossible to get a good rinse. Not only does hard water not generally form a good lather, but it’s hard to get the serving ware or flatware completely clean.

This is because if any water at all is left on them, and they are not completely dry, the water will deposit scale on them as it evaporates. 

Usually this manifests as small spots that appear white on glassware and darker serving ware, or whitish to yellowish on white china and other serving ware.

The problem here is that it is unsightly, as it can make your dishes and glassware appear dirty after they have only just been cleaned, and rightly so. 

The other issue is that once deposited, it is fairly difficult to remove them, and water and soap alone generally cannot do the trick. 

The presence of hard water therefore adds an unwelcome element of difficulty into washing the dishes, a chore that already most people would be happy to forgo. 

That being the case, a quality under counter water filter like the PureHome Mini 5-stage filter from Nature’s Air and Water is one viable workaround.

Longer Appliance Life 

If you use water from the sink to run a coffee maker, and ice machine, or some other small appliance that uses water, if you have hard water (and most of the country does), you’re operating on borrowed time. 

The main problem with hard water and appliances is that, over time, scale will occlude the interior lines of the machine. Over time, they will become completely obstructed and the appliance will not be able to run.

There are only two effective ways to deal with this. One is to (relatively) frequently flush the appliance’s lines with a safe and approved treatment that will remove scale, but this is not always possible. 

The other is that you can simply use a water supply with the appliance that does not have scale-forming minerals, or which is low in them. 

That is precisely what a good under counter water filter can do. By removing those scale-forming minerals, a water filter can help extend the lifespans of your small appliances that use water from the sink.

And that can save you money in the long run. 

Where to Learn More About This Under Counter Water Filter

While the under counter water filter in question helps remove scale-forming minerals and can thereby make washing the dishes more effective and extend the lifespan of your small appliances that use water, it will offer other benefits as well. 

For instance, the filter in question can remove sediment, chlorine, heavy metals, and a wide range of microbial contaminants, resulting in safer, cleaner, better tasting water for drinking and cooking.

Inlet, purge, and outlet flow are three different figures. Sizing to the wrong one either wastes air and […]
