March 11th 2012 - Daylight Savings Time, Time to Change your Refrigerator Water Filter?

March 8, 2012 - PRLog -- The drinking water accessible to each of our homes varies wildly, depending on where we live and if we use municipal water or a well water supply. In some cases, home owners must use a whole-house water filtration system to ensure that all of the potentially harmful water contaminants are removed. Then there are other regions where the overall water quality is good, but it is susceptible to occasional water contamination. If you use a municipal water supply for your home, most of us fail to remember the entire path that our water takes to get to our homes and our taps. As our drinking water leaves the water treatment facility, it winds its way through many miles of piping in order to reach our homes. And even though the water may have met or exceeded EPA safe drinking water standards when it left the treatment facility, water is prone to picking up various impurities and contaminates as it snakes through those miles and miles of pipes.

One of the most common types of household drinking water filters are refrigerator water filters http://www.freshwatersystems.com/c-453-refrigerator-filte... which can generally be the first line of defense against heavily-chlorinated municipal drinking water. And in a typical refrigerator today, the water filtration system is built right into it. Virtually every refrigerator water filter offers a reduction in CTO (which stands for chlorine, taste, & odor), and some can even reduce additional water contaminants such as cyst, lead, and mercury. Given that the filter media inside these water filters are “used up” about every six months on average, FreshWaterSystems.com designed a campaign in connection with daylight savings time, March 11th, 2012. That should provide an easy reminder that along with changing the clocks, it’s also time to change the refrigerator water filter. So, when should you replace your water filter?  It’s easy: “Change your clock, change your filter”.

If you don’t think replacing your water filter is worth it, here are just a few reasons that might help you reconsider:

1. It provides better tasting and smelling water
2. It helps remove fine particles and sediment from water
3. Some refrigerator water filters can reduce water contaminants such as cyst, lead and mercury
4. It prevents unabsorbed water contaminants and newly formed bacteria from being reintroduced into your drinking water
5. It prevents a drop in water pressure from the water dispenser
6. Drinking water from your refrigerator as opposed to bottled water could save you over $600 a year!

Replacing your old refrigerator water filter with a new one is easy, and most manufacturers have created straight forward systems to help you easily change your refrigerator’s filter cartridge. In addition to how simple it is, if you are looking for additional cost savings we also encourage you to look beyond the manufacturer to the compatible refrigerator water filter offerings. In many cases, you will find that the manufacturer of the refrigerator contracts a water filter company to produce their replacement cartridges in the first place. We not only do the research to make sure we offer the best in compatible refrigerator water filters, but we offer them to our customers with a 20% - 30% savings, while meeting or even surpassing the original manufacturer filter specifications.

Remember March 11st, 2012 designates the end of daylight savings time, and remember our slogan: “Change your clock, change your filter”.
