What Is a Whole-House Water Filtration System?

Most people are familiar with water filtration systems that fit over individual faucets. Those water filters work by pushing tap water through a filter at the source, and you need a separate one for each faucet. A whole-house water filtration system has one water filter attached to your main water line, meaning all water coming into your home is filtered before it comes out of the faucet. The water you use for washing clothes, cooking, cleaning, washing dishes, and bathing will be filtered before you use it.

Whole-house water filters can remove contaminants, eliminate the smell of chlorine, reduce water hardness, and give you safe, clean water. You may have a choice between different water filtration systems depending on the water quality problem you want to solve:

• Water softener system – Removes the dissolved minerals responsible for hard water: calcium, magnesium, iron, and manganese. Prevents or reduces scale.
• Ultraviolet purification system – Disinfects against bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi, and algae.
• Sediment filters – Removes dirt, sand, clay, and rust flecks.
• Carbon filters – Removes chlorine and chloramines, pesticides, herbicides, trihalomethanes, and bad tastes or odors in water.
• Acid neutralizers – Can reduce or eliminate an acidity imbalance or acidic corrosion.
