Change your Refrigerator Water Filter & Change your Clock November 7th

Nov. 4, 2010 - PRLog -- Every day there are numerous reports about the quality of drinking water both in the United States and abroad. Although something that we do not think about in or daily lives, water quality is a major concern for people. A recent article by national geographic found that 95% Americans place more value on water quality than having access to energy. Furthermore 85% of Americans believe that the government regulatory agencies should invest more money in in repairing aging pipes and treatment facilities. The survey also revealed that this is not something people believes  the government should pay for a large number of respondents stated they would be willing to pay 10% more a month for their water service.

To help provide some measure of protection for our drinking water in your homes, FreshWaterSystems.com has begun a new campaign that is tied to daylight savings time. Our slogan provides an easy reminder that it is time to change the refrigerator water filter - which only takes about as much time as it takes to change the smoke alarm battery, another household task associated with the changing of the clock – and that slogan is simple:  “Change your clock, change your filter”.

The quality of drinking water varies greatly depending on where you live in the United States. There are certain regions in the United States where residents must use whole-house water filter systems http://www.freshwatersystems.com/c-136-systems.aspx and water purification systems to ensure that they are removing potentially harmful water contaminants from their water. There are other regions where the general water quality is good, but it is prone to the occasional water contamination. Many of us fail to remember that the journey our water takes is through many miles of plastic and steel piping in order to reach our homes. Although the water was treated at some type of water treatment facility (if you do not use well water), traversing these pipes allows this water the potential to pick up various impurities along the way.

One of the most generic ways we all get filtered water is from an indoor refrigerator water dispenser. These dispenser systems do not just connect to your water line, but instead have complex filtration systems built right into them. And as with anything that is used on a repetitive basis, these filtration systems eventually need to have certain parts replaced, such as the refrigerator water filter. One of the most frequently asked questions when it comes to refrigerator water filtershttp://www.freshwatersystems.com/c-453-refrigerator-filte...  is, “How often do I need to change my refrigerator water filter ?” You need to change your refrigerator water filter cartridge every six months, as:

1. It provides better tasting and smelling water
2. It helps remove fine particles and sediment from the water
3. It prevents unabsorbed water contaminants and newly formed bacteria from being reintroduced into your drinking water
4. Prevents drop in water pressure from dispenser
5. Drinking fresh drinking water from your refrigerator can save you over $600 a year over using bottled water

And don’t worry. Changing your refrigerator water filter is easy. Most manufacturers have created simple systems to help you easily change your refrigerator’s filter cartridge. In addition to how simple it is to change your refrigerator water filter, we have 2 great offers to tell you about
