Pretty good video explaining what a whole house water filter is and what they do. I don't agree with all of it but I think it is better than everything else I've seen. Watch it. You'll learn something.
"If we're on a well supply, as an example, we could be very elaborate. We could have sediment
mechanical filtration followed by a water softener, followed by an ultraviolet system so that we are softening, we're taking out debris, and disinfecting the water as it comes into the house."
Note: Water softening has nothing to do with filtering water. People sometimes get that confused. Like he says, you can have a filter and a softener, which is best. But a softener on it's own will not filter water. They just soften it to eliminate hard water issues. But they cause problems too. You'll have to look that up.
"Whole house filtration on a city water supply could be purely just to get rid of sediment and get rid of chlorine, or chloramine. But whole house is, we are treating all the water that's going into the home so everything that's going into washing machines, into dish washers, even into the coffee brewer and outta your showerhead is all filtered. That's what we mean by whole house filtration. "
Note: If filtering landscape was added what the whole house water filter does, it is called a "Total Property System."
"What does a whole home water filtration system do? Well, whatever your design is it's gonna be made to filter out the things you don't want in the household. It could be iron, it could be hardness, it could be just chlorine. Determined by what it is that's in that water supply that you wanna filter out, that's what a whole home filtration system is going to be comprised of. If it's iron, it could be you get it out with water softener. It could be more elaborate through a process called aeration or oxidation. It's really driven by what it is that's in the water that's undesirable in makin' water a problem for your home. That's what a whole home water filtration system does."
"Are there different types of whole home water filtration systems? The answer to that is, absolutely. It is definitely going to be determined by the kind of water, the kind of problems that you're trying to eliminate with that whole home system. If you're on city water, the variety of products is probably smaller. The big one is gettin' rid of chlorine. That taste and odor that comes with the disinfectant that municipalities put in the water supply. And it's a good thing they do that because we don't see
people dyin' from typhoid, or cholera, or diphtheria anymore because the water system has been disinfected. But once it gets to your home, we can get rid of that chlorine because you're gonna use it, and you're gonna wash clothes without the chlorine, you're gonna take showers without the chlorine, and you certainly don't have to drink the chlorine, which I don't think it's very good for you."
Note: So the big take away here is that you need to filter out all the stuff in your water that comes with the water supply. Once those chemicals have done their job, remove them. You don't need to drink and bathe in them.
