The holidays are the perfect time to remind everyone to treat your garbage disposal with care. Your garbage disposal is a workhorse. It is a great invention that is convenient and saves on waste that would normally end up in landfills. It still is a machine that needs to be treated with care. There are certain items that are best to be thrown away or composted rather than put down the disposal. These include:  corn husks, pits, fibrous vegetables, egg shells, onion skins, nuts, bones, oatmeal, pasta, coffee grounds, and over the counter harsh drain cleaners. If you are in need of a new garbage disposal or a repair, contact Putman & Son’s Plumbing 24/7 emergency hotline. We are here to help!

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, people are running out and buying water bottles in droves. Not only is the plastic not good for the environment but there is no need to scramble in search of water. Depending on your needs and budget, there are choices of water filtering systems for your home. Choose from whole house filter systems and point-of-use water filters; both popular picks for your home.

Whole House Filter System

A whole house filter system treats all water before it enters your home. It is most often attached to the main water supply line that feeds the plumbing fixtures in your home. It not only treats your drinking water but treats your shower water, your appliances that use water, and protects your pipes from contaminates that can clog up appliances.

Point-of-Use Water Filter

Point-of-use water filters treat water at a single, specific tap. They are most commonly installed at the fixture in the kitchen but can also be installed in bathrooms. Instead of treating the water when it enters your home, point-of-use water filters treat water before it reaches the tap. These water filters work better than water pitchers and refrigerator filters. The cost is less than whole house filter systems and installation is easier, with the filter usually residing underneath the sink.

If you wish to install a water filtration system in your home, contact Putman & Son’s Plumbing to schedule an appointment or call us at 248-652-0990 to learn more.
