THE 5 BEST WHOLE HOUSE WATER FILTERS OF 2021
Clean and filtered water is a necessity. Here's how to find the best filter for
you and your home.

Water is a necessity that isn’t accessible for everyone. Out of the many
households that do have access to water, there are many that don’t have access
to clean and filtered water on tap.
Many households still do not have access to clean and safe water to perform
basic daily activities, ranging from drinking water to cooking with it. Water,
in essence, contains hydrogen and oxygen. However, it can also contain particles
that make it unsafe for consumption. Your water may contain things that put you
at risk of contracting a disease, as constant exposure to these harmful
substances is dangerous.
Thankfully, technology has produced a solution to this health concern. Water
filters are technological products that purify the water and make it safe for
drinking and other purposes. A water filter separates the unsafe content from
the safe one. It purifies it and removes contaminants from your water through
different technological features.
Some water filter systems contain up to five filtration stages that ensure that
your water is almost 100% free from any form of contaminant that was there
earlier. For instance, if you suspect that your water source contains particles
that may be harmful to your health, a water filter removes those toxins through
many stages of purification and makes it safe for you to use.
This article discusses some of the best whole house water filters, the features
that make them better than others, their advantages and disadvantages. It also
provides you with tips to consider when deciding which whole house water filter
to purchase.
A whole house water filter should not be confused with an under-the-counter
drinking water filter. They perform different functions. A whole house water
filter cleanses all the water that is coming into the house, from all the points
of entry, whether it is water from your shower, or water for your coffee, or
water for your toilet. The under-the-counter drinking water filter only purifies
your drinking water from its point of entry.
There are different types of whole house water filter systems but first, let us
discuss why a whole house water filter is a necessity and why you should get
one.
WHY WHOLE HOUSE WATER FILTER IS A NECESSITY
A whole house water filter is a necessity in your house because unclean and
unsafe water makes you prone to some water-borne diseases and unpalatable health
conditions, generally.
In simple terms, this is what a whole house water filter does. It removes the
toxins that you would not want your water to consist of. These unwanted purities
may include stones, iron, or even chlorine that was used while disinfecting it.
The whole house water filter removes anything that is undesirable in the water
throughout your entire house. After eliminating these things, your whole house
water filter system will provide you with a more pure and healthier form of
water.
Whole house water filters are necessary because they remove contaminants that
may be present in your water. Apart from making you prone to certain health
conditions, these contaminants may make your water taste awful.
Water should be clean, odorless, colorless, and tasteless; this is further
guaranteed through the use of whole house filters.
Also, a whole house water filter is necessary because it saves you the stress of
installing different filters at all the different points of entry of water in
your house. With a whole house water filter, you would not need more than one
filter in your house, saving you time and money.
You can avoid spending extra time on maintenance for the different filters since
just one whole house water filter will serve a better overall purpose.

DO YOU NEED A WHOLE HOUSE WATER FILTER?
Almost all sources of water contain a certain level of contaminants. These
contaminants may be natural or man-made or as a result of chemical activities. A
whole house water filter eliminates the problems you have with your water,
whether it is the taste, odor, feel, or even appearance.
You need the whole house water filter because it ensures that the water coming
into your house, whether it is bathroom water or kitchen water, is clean and
safe for usage.
A whole house water filter guarantees that you are not at risk of contracting
diseases or other health conditions just from using your water. It also promotes
healthier skin, as it gets rid of contaminants in your water that may be harmful
to your skin. It is also beneficial to your clothes, making them cleaner and
safer when installing a whole house water filter.
A whole house water filter gives you peace of mind when it comes to the constant
worry of contaminants that may be present in your water.
Although your water has been treated or disinfected from your local source, it
is still important to install a whole house water filter due to the extra
benefits it provides when filtering your home’s water. Without the whole house
water filter, contaminants may still be present from the treatment or
disinfecting processes
Many water bottling companies use water filter systems to make their water
suitable for usage by the general public. Hence, installing a whole house water
filter gives you the same quality of water from a water bottling company plus
more. A whole house water filter is essential and will encourage benefits such
as reducing plastic use from constantly purchasing water bottles. This is not
only beneficial for yourself but also for the environment.
So, is it worth purchasing a whole house water filtration system? The answer is
simply, yes. It will deliver positive results such as better water quality,
better taste, and smell, eliminate things such as discoloration, chlorine,
particles, or bacterial contamination.
BUYER’S GUIDE: WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A WHOLE HOUSE WATER FILTER
There are different types and models of water filters that are sold in the
market. “How do I know which water filter to choose?” “Why should I choose this
water filter?” “What should guide me when purchasing a water filter for my
house?” All of your questions about getting a water filter are valid.
Two households may not use the same water filter as their needs may be
different; the contaminants and particles in the water may be different.
This buyer’s guide provides answers to some of these questions. More
importantly, it tells you the things to look out for when purchasing a water
filter.
WATER FLOW
What is the amount of filtered water the water filter system produces per
minute? You need to take this into consideration because the rate of water flow
of your system affects the supply of water into all the water outlets in your
house.
The rate of water flow should be suitable for the kind of household you have,
whether large or small. A small household can manage using a water filter that
does not produce much water per minute; however, a larger household may
encounter significant problems.
FILTERS
Before purchasing a water filter, you should ask or find out what kind of
filters the system has and the types of contaminants it gets rid of.
Contaminants may vary per water source.
If you are not sure of the predominant water contaminant in yours, you may get a
test. You can conduct tests on your water that will reveal what kind of
pollutants are in your water and in what ratio.
If your water contains high bacterial contamination, you should consider getting
a whole house water filter system with a UV filter.
COST
Cost is another factor that should be taken into consideration when purchasing a
whole house water filter system. How much does it cost? Does the cost fit into
your budget? How much will its installation cost me? How much will maintenance
cost me? How much will I spend on replacements? The answers to these questions
guide you into making the decision that is best for your financial capabilities.
There are filter systems that suit different budgets. You will definitely find
one that is affordable for you and performs excellently.
NUMBER OF BATHROOMS
Some water filter systems have different models for different numbers of
bathrooms. This ensures that there is no drop in the water pressure and the
amount of water supply that goes into the house.
Some filters can handle about one to three bathrooms, while others can supply
water to more. You should get a water filter that is suitable for the number of
bathrooms you have; this ensures that you get a maximum water supply through
every water outlet in your home, without any significant drop in the water
pressure.
CERTIFICATION
Only purchase water filter systems that have been certified by the appropriate
agencies to have met up with the national and international requirements.
Also, customer reviews are another form of certification for a product. You can
read up on the type of water filter you want to get and check for any negative
reviews and see if these reviews outweigh the positive reviews.
DURABILITY
Another important factor that there is to consider is the durability of the
water filter system you want to buy. How long will it last? How often do you
need to change the filters? What do the reviews say about its durability?
You do not want to spend a massive chunk of your money on a water filter that
does not last long. A good water filter system should last for about five years
without needing replacement.
You should also check for how often you will need to be replacing the filters in
the filter system. We recommend that you have an idea of how many times you will
be changing the filters in which water filter system you plan to purchase.
Filters can further contaminate the water if they are not changed as often as
they should be changed.
INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE PROCESSES
This factor requires you to have an idea of what the installation and
maintenance processes of the water filter system you plan to purchase are like.
Is the installation something you can do yourself, or do you have to hire a
professional?
How often do you need to maintain it, and what is the process like? Can you do
it yourself, or do you require the assistance of a professional?
You should go for a water filter system that is easy to install and maintain
without needing any external or professional help.
ELECTRICITY
Some water filter systems require the use of electricity to function well.
Before purchasing such a water filter system, are you sure you have sufficient
power supply to handle it?
Otherwise, if you experience power cuts frequently, you should get a filter
system that does not require electricity to perform, or at least, one that does
not require electricity to perform some of its basic functions.
WHICH TYPE OF HOUSE WATER FILTER SHOULD YOU GET?
The type of house water filter you should get should be dependent on the level
or range of contaminants in your house and your consumption needs. However, you
should note these things before purchasing a house water filter.
LONGEVITY
Luckily, many house water filters do not require a lot of maintenance. You only
need to change the filters as often as you can to prevent the buildup of more
contaminants. Whether you choose a 100,000-gallon filter or a 1,000,000-gallon
filter, make sure it is equal to your budget and household needs.
WATER CONSUMPTION
How much water you consume on a daily basis should be another factor for
deciding which house water filter to get. If you consume a lot of water daily,
you may need to change the filter every month.
Also, if you are not a heavy consumer of water and you purchase a filter that
can last up to five years, it will produce further buildup in your water and
make it even more unsafe for usage.
Therefore, the filter you invest in should be suitable for your level of water
consumption.
CONTAMINANTS
The particles or contaminants that are present in your water may determine the
kind of filter you should get. For instance, if there is a heavy concentration
of bacterial infection in your water, you should get a UV filter to purify your
water for such infection.
WHOLE HOUSE WATER FILTER SYSTEMS INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE?
Just like water softeners, whole house water filter systems are pretty easy to
install. You do not need to have existing technical knowledge before installing
it.
If you strongly believe that you cannot do it on your own, you can request
professional help to help you with it. However, here is a short guide on how to
install your whole house water filter system.
* Disconnect the main point of the water supply.
* Drain it.
* Select a location for your filter. Make sure the location you are choosing is
easily accessible and comfortable since it is something you will be using
every day.
* Cut your pipe.
* Install all fittings according to the guidelines of the manufacturers.
* Install the filter, making sure that all of its parts are where they are
supposed to be.
* Turn off the inlet valve of the filter.
* Connect the main water supply and check if there are any leaks.
* Turn the valve on and confirm if there are no leaks.
For the maintenance process, you do not have to do much. You only need to change
the filter. When changing the filter, turn off the inlet valve of the system and
take out the filter. Put a new one in, turn the valve back on and check for
leaks.
CONCLUSION
We usually assume that city water is clean because it has been certified so.
However, it contains some contaminants that can still be removed, and this can
be done through the use of a water filtration system.
A whole house water filter system purifies the water that is entering your house
from its entry point. With a whole house water filter system, you can access
clean and purified water, free of contaminants, bad taste, or bad odor.
You can also run a test on your well to determine what kind of contaminants are
present in your water and in what ratio. Contaminants include particles such as
sands or pebbles, which can be filtered with a pre-filter.
Your water may also have gotten contaminated directly from disinfection due to
the use of chlorine. Other contaminants include industrial waste or
pharmaceutical products.
Knowing the specific contaminants you have in your house is an important factor
to know, which will help you choose which of these best whole house water filter
systems to purchase.
After reading through the product specifications of each whole house water
filter system, with their pros and cons, you should be one step closer to
finding out the perfect water filter system for you. Out of these top-notch
quality water filtration systems listed above, we hope you experience the best
transition for a cleaner and healthier water flow in your home.
