A whole-home water filter treats water at the point it enters your plumbing system, ensuring that every tap in the house delivers clean, fresh water. This means your drinking water, shower water, and even the water used in appliances like dishwashers and washing machines are all filtered. Not only does this protect your health, but it also keeps your plumbing system in better shape. Sediment and minerals that normally wear down pipes and fixtures are greatly reduced, extending the life of your entire plumbing system.
