With a standard whole house water filter, water enters your home via pipes, and into the filter, which is usually made of activated carbon. The filtration system is able to treat approximately one million gallons of water, enough to last an average family five or more years. The activated carbon removes odors, chlorine, metals, chemicals, impurities, and bad taste. As long as it is installed properly, a house filter is maintenance-free. It automatically backwashes and recycles itself whenever a preset amount of water usage or elapsed time has occurred.
