Why You Need
a Whole House Water Filter

What is a Whole House Water Filtration System?

A whole house water filtration system, also known as a point-of-entry (POE) system, filters all the water entering your home. Unlike under-sink or pitcher filters, which only treat water at specific points, a whole house system ensures clean, filtered water flows from every tap, whether it’s your kitchen, bathroom, or laundry room.

Many homeowners rely on water softeners, but those only address hardness by adding salt. They don’t help with contaminants like chlorine, sediment, or microplastics. Whole house filters go beyond softening, they purify, while preserving healthy minerals your body needs.

Common Water Contaminants Found in Homes

Even treated city water can contain substances that affect your health and home. Common contaminants include:

Chlorine and Chloramines
Protection for Appliances and Plumbing
Used for disinfection, but harsh on skin and hair
Sediment and Rust
Protection for Appliances and Plumbing
Can clog pipes and damage appliances
Microplastics
Protection for Appliances and Plumbing
Tiny plastic particles that are increasingly found in water supplies
Hard Minerals
Protection for Appliances and Plumbing
Cause scale buildup and appliance wear

These contaminants don’t just affect your drinking water; they’re present in every shower, every wash cycle, and every faucet.

5 Key Benefits of Whole House Filtration

Protection for Appliances and Plumbing
Healthier Skin and Hair

Filtered water from every faucet means no more exposure to harsh chlorine during showers or baths.

Your skin stays soft, your hair stays shiny.

Watch how filtered water changes everything.

No more scale buildup damaging your water heater, dishwasher, or washing machine.

Improved Taste and Smell
Improved Taste and Smell

Remove the chemical taste and odors. Enjoy fresh, natural water from every tap, without relying on bottled water.

Filtered water enhances the flavor of everything you prepare — from morning coffee to home-cooked meals. Say goodbye to metallic or chlorine aftertastes.

Eco-Friendly Living

Reduce your bottled water use and avoid systems that waste water.

Reverse osmosis systems can waste 5+ gallons for every gallon filtered.

Water softeners discharge brine into the environment and prevent water reuse.

LifeSource filters waste no water and have no environmental discharge.
Improved Taste and Smell

What Does a Whole House System Cost?

What Does a Whole House System Cost?

Whole house filtration systems are an investment in your home and health. Here's what to consider:

  • Upfront Costs: Vary depending on home size and system type.
  • Long-Term Savings:
    • Lower plumbing and appliance repair costs.
    • Eliminate bottled water expenses.
    • Avoid ongoing filter changes, salt deliveries, and future maintenance costs typical of other systems.
