It may be natural to assume that the water you and your family use for drinking, cooking and bathing is of good quality because it looks clean and clear. However, due to the many contaminants and toxins that have been found to exist in the water supply these days, this assumption is no longer true.

There are typically two sources of water supply for homes: municipal water and well water. The municipal water authority regularly conducts water testing for bacteria and about thirty inorganic contaminants. However, this will not guarantee clean water since contaminants may enter through the distribution pipes. In the case of well water, it is your sole obligation to ensure that your water is safe to use. Water tests are expensive, but you should aim at least to have regular tests for bacteria and nitrates. Or, you can install well water filters.

To give you peace of mind about the quality of water everywhere in your home, you may want to install whole house water filter systems. Whole house water filtering techniques are becoming popular because they reduce bacteria, chemicals, particulates and other contaminants in your water supply. Whole house water filter systems are particularly useful if you get your source from wells; minerals present in well water form sediments that clog your water heater pipes and other plumbing fixtures.

In case of municipal water, whole house water filter systems can make water cleaner and free from contaminants that escaped the testing process. Whole house water filter systems filter water as it makes way to a home's plumbing system.

Plumbers suggest that you should install your whole house water filter before water gets to your drinking water taps. You don't need to run hose bibs and toilet lines through a house water filter, but a shower water filter will ensure clean water for your showers.
