Whole House Water Filters - Save Your Health and Money!
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Robert_D._Clemens]Robert D. Clemens

When most people think of water filtration systems they think of counter top filters that purify the water on their sink. However, the best way to ensure your families overall health is by using a whole house water filter. Whole house water filters purify all the water that comes into your home at the point in which water enters your home. This ensures that all of the water that is used by your family and delivered to your faucets is safe.

Although a whole house water filter is essential for homes where the water has been found to be contaminated either chemically or organically, they can benefit anyone who wants the highest quality of water delivered to their faucets and appliances.

Chemicals and contaminants in water don't just effect your health, they can dry your skin and hair when you bathe in them and they can reduce the longevity of your clothing when washed in them. In fact, many people notice an immediate difference in their skin and hair from the use of whole house water filters.

The benefits of purified water from installing a whole house water filter cannot be stressed enough. Drinking contaminated water can affect your long-term health in multiple ways. Although our local water companies attempt to purify the drinking water that is delivered to our home, they do not have the capability to purify the way that whole house water filters do.

Chemicals and contaminants like, chlorine, pesticides, iron, herbicides, pharmaceuticals, chlorine resistant cysts, even arsenic, along with so many more are found in the drinking water delivered to our faucets every day.

The installation of whole house water filters can be done on your own, but often requires a plumber. The cost of the whole house water filter itself and the additional expense of having it installed often leads people to overlook the positives associated with its use. Whole house water filters are an investment. Over the long-term they are far more cost effective than using point of demand filters because they filter more water and they require less filter changes.

The average whole house water filter can filter about 100,000 gallons of water annually and only needs filter replacement every three years. Additionally, the replacement filters for whole house water filters are relatively inexpensive around $20 per filter. So, once installed the maintenance of these filtration systems is minimal and you can go about your life with little concern over the safety of the water that is being used in your home.
