Whole House Water Filters

So you know the benefits of purifying your drinking water and
have already installed a filter for your kitchen tap. But what
happens when you get thirsty upstairs and the closest water
faucet is in the bathroom? This is where a whole house water
filter system will benefit you. 

A whole house water filter produces purified water for all water
sources in your house. Because it is a point-of-entry system,
you will have purifed wter for every faucet, bathtub, even
toilet in your home. 

Using filtered water to flush toilets and wash dishes may seem
like a waste at first glance. However, reducing household
chlorine chlorine could play a crucial role in the well being of
you and your family. The Environmental Protection Agency states
"Every household in America, on municipally treated water, has
an elevated level of chloroform gas in the area, specifically in
showering, washing dishes, washing clothes, and flushing
toilets." 

Chloroform is a poisoness byproduct of chlorine that may cause
damage to the nervous system and kidneys. Chlorine has also been
linked to asthma. Several studies have linked chlorine
inhalation from swimming or working in pools to severe
asthma-like symptoms.

Imagine the cost and hassle of installing a tap and shower
filter in every water source in your home. A whole house water
filter would more efficiently remove contaminants in the long
run at the fraction of the cost. The initial installation will
require a plumber. However, further maintenance (such as
replacing filter cartridges) can be done on your own. When
choosing a water filter, check that the product is officially
certified. Compare different water filter systems to see how
efffective they are at removing different contaminants. Make
sure your whole house water filter does not remove the healthful
minerals with the contaminants. Removing important substances
can cause mineral deficiencies in the long run. Also check that
product comes with a warranty. (Usually this is free.) 

The benefits of a whole house water filter far outweigh the
costs in the long run. A whole house water filter will give you
the peace of mind of a household water supply free from
potentially dangerous contaminants. Besides good tasting and
clear water for your entire household, you will be contributing
to the long-term health of you and your family.
