Saving Water Starts with Filtering It
When we talk about water conservation, the conversation often focuses on turning off the tap while brushing your teeth or installing low-flow fixtures. These are important steps—but there’s a surprising, often overlooked piece of the puzzle: your water filtration system.
At One Water Systems, we believe that saving water starts with filtering it, and here’s why.
Wasted Water Starts with Poor Quality
Unfiltered water often contains sediment, chlorine, chloramine, heavy metals, and other contaminants. These impurities don’t just affect your health—they impact how efficiently water is used throughout your home. When water is hard or full of chemicals:
-
Appliances wear out faster, leading to leaks and inefficiencies.
-
Laundry needs to be rewashed due to residue or odor.
-
Showers take longer to rinse soap and shampoo, wasting gallons per minute.
-
Plants can suffer, requiring more watering to stay healthy.
Filtering your water reduces the need for all this wasteful behavior.
Filtered Water = Longer-Lasting Appliances
Water-using appliances like dishwashers, washing machines, and water heaters are often the biggest hidden water wasters. When scale builds up due to hard water, or when filters clog prematurely, these machines work harder—and less efficiently.
With One Water Systems’ whole-house filtration, your appliances operate smoothly and last longer. That means less water (and energy) used per cycle, and fewer replacements over time. It’s sustainable for both your wallet and the planet.
Cleaner Water Means Fewer Bottles, Less Waste
Let’s not forget that bottled water, often bought because tap water tastes unpleasant or smells like chlorine, contributes to plastic waste and water waste. Manufacturing just one plastic water bottle requires 3 times as much water as the bottle holds.
By installing a whole-house filtration system, you're making clean, great-tasting water available from every tap. That means no more single-use bottles and less environmental strain overall.
Soft, Filtered Water Cuts Down on Cleaning Time and Supplies
Filtered water doesn’t leave hard water stains or soap scum behind. That means less scrubbing, fewer harsh chemical cleaners, and far less water used for rinsing and rewashing.
In fact, homeowners with whole-house water filtration report using up to 30% less water in cleaning and laundry—simply because the water quality allows soaps and detergents to work more effectively.
