When to Consider a Whole House Water Filter Systems

Point-of-use water filters, such as water filtration pitchers and devices that attach to individual spigots, can effectively reduce the level of contaminants that you drink. However, some chemicals are absorbed through the skin in concentrated amounts during showers or baths. Chemicals that readily transform into gasses, such as radon, disinfaction byproducts and some organic chemicals, are more easily combatted with a whole house water filter system. To find out if your water system has high concentrations of these chemicals, ask your water system for an annual report or get your water tested.
