- Protection from contaminants that may enter your water on the way to your home or from your private well and property
- Eliminates the inconvenience and hassle of buying bottled water
- Cleaner fruits and vegetables
- Healthier cooking
- Improved health, hydration and energy levels
Types of Water Filtration Systems
There are two types of water filtration systems: Point of Use and Point of Entry. Here’s how each one works.
Point of Use
- Also called Undersink.
- Considered a last line of personal defense before water is consumed or used for cooking.
- Focused on reducing harmful contaminants such as chlorine taste and odor, sediment, lead, cysts, chemicals, dissolved solids, bacteria and virus and pharmaceuticals.
- Some systems require an extra faucet due to reduced flow rate.
Point of Entry
- Also called Whole Home.
- Connects with the main water entry line and filters all of the water coming into your home.
- Focused on reducing sediment to provide better water throughout your home.
- People with wells tend to need a whole home solution.
