Now that you're in the market for a new water treatment system, it's time to start thinking about the features that you want to see in the system you choose. Here are a few features that shouldn't be overlooked while you comparison shop.

1. Straight Forward Maintenance 

If you have to spend a lot of time maintaining your new water treatment system, chances are that you'll get tired of taking care of the system before long. And if maintenance isn't kept up, your new system will take on more wear and tear than is necessary and will be more likely to break down prematurely.

So, to ensure that you will keep up with your new water treatment system's maintenance needs, choose a system with straightforward requirements that are easy to understand. Aside from cleaning or replacing the filter and checking the hoses for cracks, you shouldn't have to do much more than schedule professional maintenance appointments once in a while.

2. Easy Access to Accessories

When it comes time to replace things on your water treatment system such as the filter, condenser, or pump, you should be able to pick what you need up at your local home improvement center or from the facility where you purchased the treatment system in the first place.

Make sure that the system you decide to invest in doesn't require that you special order your accessories and parts and wait for them to be delivered. While it would be nice to be able to order them online for delivery, you should also have the option of driving to the local store to get what you need.

3. A Manufacturer's Warranty

One of the most important features to look for when choosing a new water treatment system for your home is a manufacturer's warranty. Without a warranty in place, you will be responsible for making repairs and replacements even if the damage you face is the result of a manufacturer's defect.

But as long as you have a manufacturer's warranty to rely on, you can expect to pay nothing more than a deductible if a repair or replacement needs to be made during the first couple of years after purchasing your new water treatment system. And you may even find a system of interest that offers the option to purchase an extended warranty for longer and more complete financial protection.
