Whole house water filters

Whole House Water Filter Categories:
Sediment Filters	Chlorine, Chloramine, General Taste/Odor Water Filters	Iron & Hydrogen Sulfide Filters	Ultraviolet (UV) Water Purifiers (Bacteria &Viruses)

We are pleased to offer a wide selection of whole house water filters designed specifically to meet the higher water flow rates encountered on a home's main incoming water line. In addition to offering basic systems designed to remove sediment, dirt, and rust particles, we also offer a complete range of whole house water filter packages for the removal of chlorine, chloramine, cysts, VOC's, iron, hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg smell), certain heavy metals, and a wide range of contaminants responsible for bad taste and odors in residential water supplies. We also stock Trojan UVMax and Sterilight ultraviolet (UV) water purifiers which are designed specifically to sterilize residential water to kill bacteria and viruses.

Our whole house systems are designed for high flow rate applications, however, it is always important to note that as with all water treatment applications, the faster you flow water through the system (higher flow rate), the less effective the filter will be. To help you select a system that will provide you with the best possible contaminant removal rates, please note the maximum flow rates specified for each system and select a model that suits your maximum flow rate needs in your home.

We are pleased to offer most of our whole house systems in a High-Flow Series design for even higher flow rate capacity!

Why choose one of our whole house systems?

	we use only the highest quality heavy duty filter housings with large diameter inlet and outlet for less pressure drop and better flow dynamics
	all of our housings are made from materials that are NSF-approved for drinking water applications
	we use standard filter sizes so you will always be able to obtain replacement filters for your system
	many competitors use small 2.5" x 10" filters in their whole house filter systems, resulting in poor water pressure, short filter life, and less than optimal flow characteristics - we use filters with much greater surface area and dirt-holding capacity to maximize contaminant removal, improve water pressure and flow characteristics, and extend filter life so you have less maintenance to do!
	great pricing on system packages and replacement filters - guaranteed best prices in USA and Canada on all replacement filters purchased by the case!

A whole house filter system is generally comprised of at least one filter housing, mounting bracket, at least one filter cartridge, and a spanner wrench. For all tasks other than just basic sediment removal, we generally recommend that a whole house water filtration system be comprised of two housings in series. The first usually serves as a sediment filter to rid the water of large particles and sediment (sand, dirt, debris, etc.). The second (usually an activated carbon filter) provides finer filtration and absorbs chlorine and other contaminants that effect water taste and odor. Additional elements can be added to the system to reduce/remove special contaminants such as iron, manganese and hydrogen sulfide (iron / Hydrogen sulfide reduction filter) or bacteria (Whole House Ultraviolet (UV) System). Most of our packages also come with spare filters!

Whole house filters can be installed by a homeowner who has basic household plumbing experience, or if your prefer, by any licensed plumber. All of our whole house filter packages feature: heavy duty "Big Blue" housing(s) with pressure relief valve sturdy mounting bracket NSF certified housings NO backwashing or media regeneration required! do not add harmful bi-products to your drinking water relatively long filter life - cost effective long-term operation simple installation small size - save valuable floor space! high flow design and low pressure drop easy to replace filters - handy spanner wrench included with all systems

*Cryptosporidium and giardia

** Many factors can affect filter life including contaminant levels, flow rates, etc. Please see the Owners' Manual for each model for further details. Most filter life estimates are based on minimum 90% chlorine (chloramine for WH Chloramine model) reduction.

***Most systems can physically handle higher flow rates than recommended, however, contaminant reduction rates will decline at higher flow rates.
