How Whole House Water Filtration Works
Clean, safe water is essential for every home. Whether you’re drinking, cooking, bathing, or doing laundry, the quality of your water impacts your health, appliances, and overall well-being. At One Water Systems, we specialize in whole-house water filtration, ensuring that every drop of water in your home is pure and free from contaminants. But how does it work? Let’s break it down.
What Is a Whole House Water Filtration System?
A whole house water filtration system is a point-of-entry (POE) system that filters water before it reaches any tap, shower, or appliance. Unlike point-of-use filters (like under-sink or pitcher filters), a whole-house system ensures that every faucet in your home delivers clean, filtered water.
How Whole House Water Filtration Works
1. Pre-Filtration: Removing Large Particles
The first stage of filtration removes sediments, rust, dirt, and debris that may be present in your water supply. This step protects the later filters from clogging and ensures your water starts off cleaner.
2. Carbon Filtration: Eliminating Chemicals and Odors
Next, the water passes through a high-quality activated carbon filter. This stage is crucial because it:
✔️ Removes chlorine & chloramines — Commonly used in municipal water treatment but can cause dry skin and an unpleasant taste.
✔️ Reduces volatile organic compounds (VOCs) — These include industrial chemicals and pesticides.
✔️ Improves taste & odor — No more “swimming pool” smell in your tap water!
3. Advanced Filtration: Targeting Contaminants
Depending on the system, this step may include:
🔹 KDF (Kinetic Degradation Fluxion) Filtration — Removes heavy metals like lead and mercury.
🔹 Catalytic Carbon — Breaks down chlorine and other stubborn chemicals.
🔹 Ion Exchange or Water Softening (if needed) — Reduces hard water minerals like calcium and magnesium that cause scale buildup.
4. Final Polishing: Ensuring Maximum Purity
In some systems, a final post-filter helps catch any remaining fine particles before the water reaches your faucets. Some systems may also include UV purification to kill bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms.
Benefits of a Whole House Water Filtration System
