Whole House Water Filters – The Ultimate Drinking Water Filter

by Tyler Waterman

Along with food, water is the most essential thing for the survival of a human, and a supply of fresh and pure water important to maintain a healthy body. As the water that enters the average home has more than 2000 contaminants, water purifiers such as whole house water filters are necessary to remove them.

What Are Whole House Water Filters?

Whole house water filters consist of a carbon filter system fitted to the main water line before it enters your home.

Clean, pure and filtered water will then flow from every outlet in every room of the house including bathrooms, kitchens and everywhere that your main water supply feeds.

Is A Whole House Water Filter Suitable For All Homes?

Every home that has a supply of water running into it is able to have a whole house water filter fitted. As water pollutants vary from one area to another, slightly different filters may be necessary in some cases.

To find out what chemicals, minerals and deposits are contained in your water supply, contact your water supplier who should be able to provide you with a printout containing all the necessary information. Although not essential, this is a good idea as your area may for example, have a particularly high iron level or perhaps be high in sediment, and the water purifier supplier will be able to advise on any necessary additional filters or changes.

Whole house water filters are also suitable for those that obtain their water supply from a well. You probably have your well water tested annually, and this report will be useful to the supplier of your water purifier system.

Whole House Water Filters – How Do They Work?

A whole house water filter works by forcing the water through several different stages of filtration, each eliminating more and more pollutants of different types including chlorine, sediments and other toxins.

Carbon filters are commonly used in other filtration systems, as activated carbon makes an excellent filter. Point of use water systems commonly fitted under the kitchen sink, along with jug or carafe water purifiers both also use carbon filters.

The Benefits Of A Whole House Water Filter

Another of the benefits of a whole house water filter besides crystal pure water, is the softening effect that filtering the water has on the supply.

Detergents no longer have to do battle with harsh chemicals, so less shampoo and soap is needed, and the corrosive deposits built up in the pipes of water boilers, dishwashers, and washing machines are eliminated thus prolonging the life of domestic goods.

The benefits of whole house water filters are to be found with the whole family and all over the home. Being able to provide a system that removes all the invisible dangers to our health that the water companies don’t tell you about, has got to be well worth considering at any price.
