Whole House Water Filters

Our water supply today has been proven to be contaminated with a multitude of pollutants, including chlorine, bacteria, fluoride, pharmaceuticals, and many other type of chemicals. Besides the serious health effects from drinking contaminated water, we are also bathing in it as well as doing laundry. A whole house water filter can provide us with clean and safe water for drinking, cooking, bathing and laundry.

A whole house water filter is attached at the point of entry for the entire house. There is no one water filter that will leave your water 100% clean. Therefore it is important to find a whole house water filter that combines water filtration technologies.

Water filtration methods that can be used in combination:

• Activated Carbon – This is the most common media. It will eliminate chemicals including chlorine, organic chemicals, volatile organic compounds and some sediment.
• Ion Exchange – Removes pollutants like lead, nitrates and fluoride. Best known systems are water softeners.
• Ceramic Water Filters – Remove biological contaminants like bacteria, cysts and parasites.
