Once considered some of the highest quality water in the country coming exclusively from our groundwater aquifers, Long Island has since been plagued by concerning water quality for decades due to toxins and other contaminants that have seeped into the ground. With lowered trust in the safety of our tap water, homeowners across Long Island have had to figure out alternatives to drinking and otherwise utilizing unfiltered water.

While bottled water and filtered containers of drinking water to keep in our refrigerators provide some comfort, it does not address other washing and bathing needs for our households. One increasingly popular option is installing a whole house filtration system. But would whole house water filters be a good investment?

Do Water Filters Save Money?

It’s hard to put a price on your peace of mind when it comes to something as important to our day-to-day lives as the quality of the water in your home. Luckily, whole home water filters can provide that kind of assurance without breaking the bank. Tragar partners with both Aquasana and Plumber’s Choice Water to provide Long Island families with high-quality, affordable choices for their home’s whole house water filtration system.

Not only do whole home water filters provide safe drinking water, but they also help protect your pipes. The kind of contaminants that can be found in unfiltered tap water could create a sediment build up in your pipes that will not only damage them, but different appliances that work through your water pipes as well. Preventing pipe corrosion before it starts will save you money in the long run. It could even help increase the value of your home overall.

Are Water Filters Tax Deductible?

A fact that has eluded many is that whole home water filtration may be tax deductible. It is important that you consult with your accountant before making any purchases to see if this would apply to you.

But there is a precedent that water filtration systems (like the ones Tragar recommends) may be applied for some level of deduction if the services the filtration provides meets certain guidelines. Additionally, legislation has been proposed in Albany to make tax credits on whole home water filtration systems more clean-cut.
