Whole-home filtration
A whole-home filter treats water where it enters the house, so every tap gets filtered water. Many homeowners consider one for chlorine taste and odor.
What to know
- Different filter media target different things. A filter only does what its specific certification says it does.
- Media and cartridges wear out and must be replaced on a schedule.
- A filter is not a softener. If scale is your main issue, ask about softening.
How to check a claim
Ask for the exact model number and look it up in the NSF certified product listings or the WQA product search. Check that the listing covers the specific thing you care about.
