<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Clean Water is Safe Water
A quality, well-maintained whole house water filter will provide you with good-tasting water free from contaminants. Heavy metals, arsenic, sulfur and excessive amounts of minerals can cause a host of health problems. A good whole house filter will remove these from all the water in your home so you can rest assured that you're drinking and bathing in safe water.
On the Other: Unmaintained Filters Don't Filter
If you opt for a whole house water filter, be prepared to stay on the maintenance schedule. A poorly maintained filter will lose its effectiveness while still allowing water to pass through it. Change removable filters and have other parts inspected and serviced to avoid problems.
Bottom Line
A good, whole house water filter is an excellent choice for people who live in areas with moderate to poor water quality. As long as they are well maintained, they will provide many benefits over bottled water or drinking from the tap.
