If you’re building a new home or purchasing an existing one, it’s a good idea to start fresh… so let’s start with the thing you use most use in your household, your water!
Did you know you can filter the water coming into your home right from the source? This means you can reduce that nasty chlorine in the water you use to bathe in, cook with, drink, wash your clothes in, and even spray your veggie patch with when using your outdoor taps. It’s called a Whole House System; and here’s why you need one!
Buying a whole house water filtration system can seem daunting and maybe even a little useless. We get that it is a big investment, and without the proper knowledge, you may end up with a unit that seems to make no difference to your water. We’ve written this blog to shed some light on a whole house water filtration system, why you need one, and how to purchase one.

WHAT:
A whole house water filtration unit is installed where the main water line enters your home. Typically, the system will use a three-stage filtering process for the best results. The first step removes larger contaminants such as sediment or rust. The second is designed to remove chlorine as well as lead, mercury, nickel, and other dissolved metals. The third and final stage uses a filter to remove any dangerous organic compounds.

WHY
So why do you need filtered water for all outlets in your home? It’s pretty simple — when water is heated, there are certain chemicals that can become airborne and chlorine in the water may be absorbed into your bloodstream. Many studies have shown that in a short, 10-minute shower you can absorb up to eight glasses of water. If this is unfiltered water, the effects can be damaging to your health. These harmful toxins can also be released by your dishwasher or washing machine. By installing a whole home water filtration system, you ensure that chlorine, as well as other harmful chemicals, are safely removed.
HOW:
Are you wondering how to get your hands on the correct water filtering unit for your home? There are countless options on the market, and it may be confusing to navigate the differences. The simplest way to figure it out is to look at your water department’s latest water quality report. Keep an eye out for the word “chlorine” or “chloramine” — you should see each other. There are water filtration systems made for removing either chlorine or chloramine, so it is important that you get the correct one for your home! Before purchasing, look up the filtration systems’ report; and the higher the removal rate, the better! Check out our home water filtration systems.

How Does A Whole House System Work?
The Whole House System is a large carbon filtration system that sits in line between the mains water supply and your home or property. The housing of the system is made out of reinforced fiberglass with an HDPE lining, which is filled with granular carbon. Water from the mains flows into the system, where chlorine, pesticides, herbicides, and Trihalomethanes (THMs) are adsorbed onto the carbon. The treated water is then pushed under mains water pressure to the house. The carbon accumulates build-up of sediment over time, thus the system has a fully automatic backwash control valve. A timer sets the backwash to remove the sediment, which is flushed down the drain. The timer for the backwash is set depending on your specific water usage. Set and forget!
