Whole house in-line water filter systems are designed to give you maximum filtration and maximum performance with minimum maintenance. To determine the
best home water purifier that is right for your home, you will have to determine your families water usage. A family of 4 - 5 uses approximately 5 - 6 gallons of water at any given time. There may be occasional spikes up to 8 GPM
(gallons per minute). A 9 or 10 GPM system is usually more than enough for the average American family. Larger homes may want to consider a 12 or 14
GPM system, or higher, depending on the number of people in the home and the number of bathrooms.
Whole home water purifiers come in compact models or larger models. Compact
household water filter models typically have replaceable filters.
They may have single, double or triple filters. The more filters the unit
contains, the higher the level of water filtration.
The larger home water filtration systems may come with a manual back wash system that you will have to initiate periodically or with an automatic back wash system.
Some whole home water filter systems are available with an automatic back wash.
Whole home water filters connect to the main line of your home and filters all the incoming water. It requires a nearby power outlet and drain source (usually the washing machine drain) and possibly the services of a plumber and
an electrician if a nearby power outlet is not available.
Some home water filtration systems use reverse osmosis and
others use the latest activated carbon and KDF (a patented filter media)
technology that provides excellent water quality.
