Why You Should Install an Iron Filter for your Overhead Water Tank from Parashu :

Installing an iron water filter for an overhead tank from Parashu can be beneficial for several reasons:

Prevents Staining and Discoloration: Iron in water can cause staining on clothes, tiles, and plumbing fixtures. Over time, it can also lead to discoloration of the water itself. An iron filter removes excess iron, helping to keep your household items and water clean.
Improves Water Quality: High iron content can make the water taste and smell unpleasant. An iron filter helps in purifying the water, improving both its taste and odor, making it more suitable for drinking and daily use.
Protects Plumbing and Appliances: Iron buildup in pipes, faucets, and appliances can cause corrosion and blockages, leading to costly repairs and reduced efficiency. Filtering out the iron helps extend the life of your plumbing system and household appliances, such as water heaters and washing machines.
Health Benefits: While iron in small amounts is not harmful and is a necessary nutrient, excessive iron in water can lead to health issues such as gastrointestinal problems. Installing an iron filter helps maintain the right balance of minerals in the water.
Cost-Effective: By preventing damage to your plumbing and household items, an iron filter can save you money on repairs and replacements in the long run.
An iron water filter helps maintain water quality, protects your plumbing, and ensures that your water is safe and clean for daily use.
