Ensure Your Water is Ready for Back-to-School
As summer winds down and families get ready for another busy school year, there’s a lot to think about—new school supplies, backpacks, schedules, lunches and activities. But there’s one essential part of your family’s daily routine that often gets overlooked: your home’s water.
From filling water bottles before school to washing clothes after a long day of activities, your family relies on your water every day. Before the school year gets into full swing, it’s a great time to make sure your home’s water is ready, too.
Start the School Year With Better-Tasting Water
A fresh, reusable water bottle is a back-to-school essential. But if your family doesn’t enjoy the taste or smell of your tap water, those bottles may come home full.
Water quality issues such as chlorine taste and odor, sulfur smells or certain minerals can affect how your water tastes and smells. A properly selected water filtration system can help improve the taste and quality of your home’s water, making it easier for everyone to stay hydrated throughout the busy school day.
Kids need water throughout the day, and having clean, great-tasting drinking water available at home makes it easier to fill those reusable water bottles before heading out the door.
If your family isn’t excited about the taste of your tap water, or you’re tired of buying and storing bottled water, the Kinetico K5 Drinking Water Station® may be the perfect addition to your back-to-school routine.
Don’t Forget About Laundry
Back-to-school season can also mean more laundry.
School uniforms, sports clothes, towels and everyday outfits can quickly pile up. Hard water can make cleaning clothes more challenging by interfering with soap performance and contributing to mineral buildup.
A water softener can help address the effects of hard water throughout your home. Softer water can help your soaps and detergents work more effectively while helping reduce mineral buildup on fixtures and appliances.
That can be especially helpful when you’re already doing what feels like a load of laundry every day!
Check Your Water-Using Appliances
Before the school-year rush begins, take a few minutes to think about the appliances in your home that use water.
These items all depend on your home’s water…
- Refrigerator water dispenser
- Ice maker
- Dishwasher
- Washing machine
- Water heater
- Coffee maker
If you’ve noticed changes in water taste, odor, appearance or performance—or you’ve simply been wondering about your home’s water quality—back-to-school season is a great time to have your water evaluated.
