Home Water Filter Systems - 
What Choices Do I Have?
Apart from using a standard worktop 
filter to help clean your drinking water, 
there are other types available that do 
the filtering without you even knowing 
they are there. These discrete systems 
connect direct to your water supply and 
do their work before reaching your tap 
so you can guarantee that every 
mouthful will be pure, clean, filtered 
water.
A system for your whole house is designed to 
perform several stages of filtering before the hot 
and cold water leaves your tap. A first filter will 
remove sediment, bacteria and common 
minerals such as lead, mercury or asbestos that 
are not usually needed in drinking water from 
your taps. This essentially does the same job as 
a counter top filter jug. Additional filters can 
remove rust from your system, keeping it in top 
condition and sometimes additional filters are 
added to remove other chemicals such as 
chlorine, where it is present in the local water 
supply.
These filter systems are very convenient and 
once installed, perform very well, with filters 
only needing to be changed every 6 months or 
so. The draw back is that they are expensive to 
install and require a high initial outlay to 
implement. 
As an alternative for your entire home, a point 
of use system can be installed to one or more 
outlets, typically a sink faucet in the kitchen. 
These handy systems are great for selected areas 
of the home. Why would you need water filtered 
for your shower, for example, when the real 
benefit would be seen in the kitchen.
With a point of use water filter system, the 
connection is made between the water inlet pipe 
and the faucet, forcing the water through a 
number of filters before it gets to your glass. 
These filters can range from simple, cheap water 
filtering processes to more complex multi filter 
systems, sometimes using up to 5 filters to 
achieve the desired level of processing.
Similar to the whole house models, the filters 
are designed to remove trace chemicals and 
elements from your water before drinking. 
Depending on the area of the country you live, 
they can also be enhanced to handle additional 
chemicals as required. For example, you may 
wish to add a filter to improve the hard water in 
your area. Some point of use systems allow you 
to daisy chain different filters together to 
achieve the exact blend of filters for your home.
Choosing the right type of solution for your 
home can be tricky if you are not sure which 
one to go for. If you are more concerned about 
removing chemicals such as iron to reduce rust 
in your system, then a whole house version is 
the right choice for you. Those of you who are 
looking to use cleaner water for drinking and 
cooking will be happier with a point of use 
system as they are designed only for a single tap 
and are much cheaper to install and maintain. If 
you are not looking to perform an installation, 
the only other option you have is to continue 
using a filter jug, or use a refrigerator with a 
built-in water dispenser with a filter.
