Have you ever stopped to think that our water dates back millions of years to the dinosaurs? Through the centuries, we merely recycle our water. Thousands of years ago that was not a problem. However, since the agricultural and industrial revolutions, things have changed. Many natural organic and man-made chemicals, pesticides and pharmaceutical contaminants have found their way into our water supplies. The municipal water districts in and around the Clarksville, Tennessee area does what they can within their budget restrictions. However, it is becoming more and more difficult for them to keep up with increasing demand for cleaner, safer, healthier water in our Montgomery County area.

Because of these municipal water challenges, installing a whole-house water filtration system in your home is more necessary than ever. These systems can protect against water-borne invaders like dirt, debris, heavy metals, chemicals, and hard water minerals that may be in your water.


The 3 Concerns in Municipal Water

Mac-Plumbing-Honest-Water-Filter-Graph

There are 3 concerns in today’s municipal water that must be addressed by a filtration system:

  1. Physical contaminants like dirt, silt and other physical particulates.
  2. Chemical contaminants like disinfecting chlorine, chloramines, pesticides and herbicides, and heavy metals.
  3. Hard water minerals like calcium and magnesium.

Most people also don’t realize each of these concerns affect not only you and your family’s health, but the “health” of your very expensive plumbing system, and all the water-using appliances in your home!

Past vs. Present Technology

Previously, the only choice to treat these 3 concerns was primarily a TWO tank system – a stand-up carbon filter combined with a softener. These systems are large, very inefficient, need programing, and could waste as much as 500 gallons of water every month!

Now, thanks to the latest technology, ONE system can efficiently and effectively treat all THREE concerns in a compact design without needlessly wasting gallons upon gallons of water every month.

Much like any facet of life, technology keeps advancing. That’s why Mac Plumbing offers Clarksville, Tennessee and surrounding area residents Honest Water Filters to protect their families and their expensive plumbing systems. Simply put, the Honest Water Filters are the most advanced whole-house systems on the market today backed up by NSF Certifications.

To treat Concerns 1 & 2 (Physical & Chemical Contaminants), these filters offer a 5-micron down to a 0.015 sub-micron filter for physicals and the most chemical-reducing carbon of any system available as illustrated by this chart.

They are also one of the only systems on the market that have been certified by NSF International for System Performance…going well beyond basic, standard certifications that most other systems promote they have.


Polyphosphates: A Hard Water Solution For Clarksville, Tennessee and Surrounding Communities

To treat Concern 3 (Minerals – aka hard water), Honest Water Filters systems contain polyphosphates, a proven, all-natural alternative to salt softeners. Unlike other salt-free systems that “mask” hard water problems, polyphosphates have been used in commercial applications for decades.

How They Work: Polyphosphates sequester hard water minerals so they cannot scale and corrode plumbing and fixtures in the home yet leave “healthy” minerals in the water. They have been around for decades, are Food-grade and FDA-Approved.

The future of water treatment is here today…The Honest Water Filters.
