Winstar Now Offers Water Filtration Service to Baltimore Homeowners
Leading Baltimore home service company has the technology and expertise to make your water safer
BALTIMORE, Sept. 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Winstar Home Services has just rolled out a new service—home water filtration. Winstar, a leading provider of residential electrical, heating and air conditioning services in the greater Baltimore area, is offering this service to help make your water safer to drink and bathe in.
"Cleaner water is so much safer for you and your family, and we care about that," says Talbot Watkins, president of Winstar Home Services. "If our service experts are in your home providing any other service, we will test your water free of charge to see if it needs treatment."
The human body is over 70 percent water, so the water we absorb when drinking, bathing or breathing (steam) affects all of our body's systems. Children and the elderly are most susceptible to water contaminants due to their weaker immune systems.
"You can take harmful substances into your body by eating, drinking, breathing, or through your skin," says Watkins. "What you may not know is that your body absorbs six times more through your skin than when you drink it. So when you're taking a nice hot bath, or bathing your baby, you're getting a big dose of chlorine. We want to help fix that and make water safer here in Baltimore."
Today's innovations remove nearly everything from water that isn't water. Water filtration systems achieve incredibly high levels of filtration for the very cleanest, safest drinking water.
While you may be tempted to simply buy bottled water, your municipal water is probably better. Federal guidelines for bottled water are often no different than those from simple tap water, and water utilities serving large populations are subject to more stringent quality regulations than their fancy bottled water competitors.
Baltimore is known for good water that meets all federal standards and ranks highly for quality and taste. The catch, Watkins explains, is that Baltimore—like most cities—uses chlorine to disinfect water because it's cheap and effective and has saved millions of lives. But, recent studies have shown that although chlorine is very effective in removing other contaminants, it increases cancer risks. The compiled results are startling, showing that people drinking chlorinated water over long periods of time have a 21 percent increased risk of bladder cancer and a 38 percent increased risk of rectal cancer.
Chlorine by-products are present in all Baltimore-area drinking water, according to the 2015 Baltimore Water Quality report.
"While chlorine does a good job of removing some pretty bad contaminants, it does need to be filtered out of your tap water," Watkins says. "Otherwise you're going to be drinking it and soaking it in through your skin. Cleaner water is, without a doubt, much healthier."
Winstar uses NOVO water systems because of the incredibly high level of engineering that goes into each system. NOVO manufactures complete systems that improve water quality for general use, as well as those that provide high-quality water for consumption. NOVO's systems:
- Operate based on the demand for treated water
- Provide a continuous supply of soft water, even while the equipment is cleaning itself
- Operate efficiently and provide simple and reliable service
For just pennies per gallon, an in-home purification system removes chlorine, heavy metals, and other drying contaminants. It not only benefits health, but also improves your hair and your skin. It can also extend the life of your appliances, which reduces your utility bills and the amount of energy you use.
