More and more people are seriously considering "Should we be getting one of those whole house water filters? They question they want answered is--is it worth it? Or are we hearing just a bunch of talk!

Yes and No! OK so no answer at all. Great! But there is an answer. They are absolutely worth it, but you have to buy 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?

Let's look at your options. Reverse osmosis (RO) is the number one selling system in the world with its dealer proclaiming "nothing is better". The sad truth is RO does not remove chlorine from your water. Chlorine is the most common water disinfectant used in almost 100% of municipally treated tap water in the USA.

The idea of a home system is to make sure your tap water is safe and healthy. So if your filter system doesn't remove dangerous chemicals and pollutants, why would you bother installing one?

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.

You see your kitchen filter or bottled water only provides filtered water for drinking and cooking, but do you always remember to fill the cooking pot with filtered water or do you fill it from the tap?

Having a whole house water filter system makes having clean fresh drinking, cooking and bathing water as easy as it can be.
