Reducing Household Chemicals Through Better Water

We all strive to make our homes cleaner, healthier, and more eco-friendly—but what if one of the biggest sources of chemicals in your household was flowing straight from your tap?

At One Water Systems, we believe that better water means a better home—and one of the often-overlooked benefits of whole house water filtration is its power to drastically reduce your dependency on household chemicals. Here's how.

The Hidden Impact of Hard and Contaminated Water

Most tap water contains a mix of chlorine, chloramine, heavy metals, and minerals like calcium and magnesium. This is especially true in regions with "hard water" or municipal supplies that rely heavily on chemical disinfectants.

When you wash dishes, do laundry, or clean surfaces using hard or contaminated water, you’re often forced to use more soap, detergent, and cleaning agents just to get the job done. Why? Because these substances react with the minerals and chemicals in your water, reducing their effectiveness.

The Result:

  • More cleaning products

  • More residue

  • More money spent on chemicals that shouldn't be necessary

Softened & Filtered Water = Less Soap, Less Scrubbing

One Water Systems uses a maintenance-free, whole house water filtration system that not only removes harmful contaminants, but also conditions the water—softening it naturally without added salt or chemicals.

This means:

  • Laundry detergents lather more effectively

  • Dish soaps rinse clean without residue

  • Shampoos and body washes foam better and rinse easily

  • You use fewer cleaning products across the board

Cut Chemical Use by Up to 50% or More

Many of our customers report cutting their cleaning product usage in half after installing a One Water System. Here’s where the difference adds up:

Product TypeWithout FiltrationWith One Water Systems
Laundry Detergent1 full cup1/2 or 1/4 cup
Dish SoapMultiple pumps1-2 pumps
Shampoo/Body WashLarger portions neededSmaller amounts work
Surface CleanersFrequent reapplicationMinimal usage needed
Not only does this reduce your exposure to harsh chemicals, but it also means less environmental waste and more savings over time.

A Cleaner Home, A Healthier You

When you filter your water, you're also filtering out many of the substances that can irritate your skin, lungs, and eyes. Consider these benefits:

  • Fewer irritants in the air from volatile cleaning compounds

  • Less soap scum, meaning fewer abrasive bathroom cleaners

  • Healthier skin and hair due to fewer drying agents in your water

For families with kids or pets, reducing household chemicals is a huge step toward a safer, more natural home environment.

The One Water Systems Difference

Unlike salt-based softeners or point-of-use filters that only address part of the problem, our whole house system filters every drop that enters your home—so your shower, kitchen, laundry room, and garden all benefit.

No salt. No maintenance. No compromises.

The path to a cleaner, healthier home doesn’t start with the products under your sink. It starts with what’s coming out of your faucets.

With One Water Systems, you’ll not only enjoy better-tasting, safer water—you’ll drastically reduce the need for household chemicals, saving money and protecting your family’s health in the process.
