How does a whole-house water filter work?

Three Steps To Clean Water

Most whole-house water filtration systems follow a simple three-step system. First, chlorine is filtered out with a mineral media, such as zinc or copper. Next, the water's taste and clarity is enhanced with bituminous charcoal. Finally, the water passes through high-grade carbon media (commonly coconut shell) for a final "cleaning." The result is great-tasting, healthy water!
