Water's Good

Ensuring Clean Water While Renting

While water quality is a vital consideration for anyone, in rental properties it becomes even more crucial to ensure access to clean and safe drinking water since residents have limited control over the infrastructure.

One effective way that often gets overlooked by renters is installing a water filtration system. These systems are often perceived to be both expensive and a permanent fixture after it is installed. Therefore, how to choose water filtration systems and make sure the safety for your water in your rental property?

Understanding Your Water Source

First and foremost, it's essential to identify the water source for your rental property. Common water sources include municipal supplies, well water, or a combination of both. With each water source comes varying types of contaminants that may be present, such as chlorine, heavy metals, sediments, or bacteria.

Although identifying your water source is important in helping you determine your filtration needs, testing your water is also recommended as it will enable you to get a complete picture of your water’s composition and your filtration needs.

Water Filtration Made Easy

In a rental property, it's important to choose a water filter that is easy to maintain and install. When selecting a filtration system, look for filters that offer quick cartridge replacements without the need for professional assistance. This way, you can easily replace the filter when needed, ensuring continued access to clean water. Additionally, consider the available space in your property for installation, as some filtration systems require under-sink space or specific plumbing modifications.
