People today ask themselves. Should we look to getting one of those whole house water filters? The real question is are they worth it? Or is all the talk a bunch of marketing hype?
The answer is yes and no. Great! No answer at all! They are absolutely worth it — if you get the the right one.
The advantages
A whole system will make sure all the water you use is safe, clean and pure. Whether you are drinking it, cooking in it, or bathing in it.
Yes–a kitchen faucet filter will give you clean fresh water to drink and cook in. The problem arises when you bathe. A number of water borne pollutants are more easily absorbed in the shower, either by being vaporized by the shower head and breathed in or by being absorbed through the skin.
Obviously a whole home system will provide you with the best coverage, but which home system do you opt for?
The number one selling system in the world is called reverse osmosis (RO) and many dealers tout it as the finest system in the world. Unfortunately it wont remove things like chlorine which is toxic and so common it is in just about 100% of all the tap water in the USA.
The whole purpose of a home water filter system is to ensure your tap water is free of toxins. So if your filtration system doesn’t remove toxins, why would anyone bother?
The whole house water filter you want will remove:
*chlorine
*lead
*VOCs (volatile organic chemicals)
*THMs (trihalomethanes)
*cryptosporidium
*giardia
*MTBE (Methyl-Tertiary Butyl Ether) a gasoline additive found in a lot of drinking water
But leave-in natural minerals for the healthiest, best tasting water possible!
There are other reason you should have a whole home water filter.
Your kitchen or bottled water system can only supply filtered water for drinking and cooking, and we don’t always remember to use the filtered water for cooking. Sometimes you just fill the pan from the tap without thinking.
Having a whole house water filter system makes having clean fresh drinking, cooking and bathing water as easy as it can be.
