Whole house water treatment systems are installed at the point where water enters your home, ensuring that all water distributed through your plumbing is treated before it reaches sinks, showers, and appliances. Unlike point-of-use systems, which only filter water from specific taps, whole house systems provide a blanket solution that treats water for the entire home. This includes various treatment technologies like sediment filters, activated carbon filters, reverse osmosis systems, and water softeners, each serving to eliminate specific contaminants such as chlorine, heavy metals, microorganisms, and hard minerals.
