Most tap and well water in the US contains some level of contamination from industrial or environmental pollution. Whether the water comes from a lake, river, or well, it can always benefit from being purified. Contaminants can be anything from naturally occurring minerals to man-made chemicals and byproducts.

Most contaminants aren’t concentrated enough to have an immediate effect but are likely to contribute to chronic health issues. Installing a whole-house water treatment system can help prevent your family from ingesting potentially harmful contaminants, and will improve the function of appliances throughout your home.

Popular Types of Whole House Systems

Whole house water treatment systems fall into two main categories. The first is a heavy-duty filtration system. These larger systems are the highest performing filtration solutions you can install and excel at removing contaminants thanks to the large amounts of filtration media they contain. These tanks are around 50” tall and provide protection from 5-10 years depending on the system and amount of contaminants removed.

The second popular type of home filtration system is a standard capacity water cartridge. They work similarly to their larger counterparts, but the filter elements are placed inside a much smaller filter housing. These systems are 10-20” in height and need to be replaced each year.

The best system for you depends on your home’s water usage habits and what you’re looking for in terms of maintenance. Regardless of the type of system you choose, you can look forward to benefits like:

• Clean, contaminant-free water from every source in your home
• Less likelihood of irritation during showers and baths
• Extended life from water-using appliances and piping
• Softer water, scale-free showers, and cleaner glasses from your dishwasher
• Softer and longer-lasting clothing
• Healthier skin and hair
