It usually consists of tanks that are set up in the garage, basement, or a special closet. All of the water in the house passes through these tanks before going into your faucets, showers, and toilets. This is different than a localized filter that may be installed under a sink or on a particular faucet to provide filtered water just in that location.<\/p>\n<p>The purpose of this system is to remove common water contaminants that can be found in municipal and well water alike. Some of these contaminants include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span>Toxic metals like mercury, lead, arsenic, barium, and chromium.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOCs) such as degreasers, solvents, and gasoline additives.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Disease producing parasites, viruses, and bacteria.<\/span><\/li>\n<li>check<span>Trihalomethanes, fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, and pesticides.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you know you need to remove a specific contaminant, such as lead, you can install filters that are designed just for that problem. This is generally known as a heavy-duty filtration system and provides specific contaminant protection for 5 to 10 years. There are also general filters that remove a broad spectrum of contaminants. These are standard capacity water cartridges and need to be replaced every 6 months to 1 year.<\/p>\n<h2>How Does a Whole House Water Filter Work?<a data-geniuslink=\"\/\/buy.geni.us\/Proxy.ashx?TSID=42106&amp;GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FNalgene-Tritan-Mouth-BPA-Free-Bottle%2Fdp%2FB001NCDE8O%2Fref%3Dsr_1_2%3Fs%3Dsporting-goods%26ie%3DUTF8%26qid%3D1530065131%26sr%3D1-2%26keywords%3DNalgene\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Nalgene-Tritan-Mouth-BPA-Free-Bottle\/dp\/B001NCDE8O\/ref=sr_1_2?s=sporting-goods&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1530065131&amp;sr=1-2&amp;keywords=Nalgene\"><\/a><\/h2>\n<p>When water enters your home, it is typically pre-filtered first. This process removes large particles that can clog the filtering system. The water then passes through a filtering process that removes the chemicals, metals, and microbes that can make you sick. This stage of the process may use a carbon filtering system, an activated charcoal filtering system, or other methods as well. Finally, the waste products are flushed away and the clean water is sent throughout your house.<\/p>\n<h2>Pricing<a data-geniuslink=\"\/\/buy.geni.us\/Proxy.ashx?TSID=42106&amp;GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FNalgene-Tritan-Mouth-BPA-Free-Bottle%2Fdp%2FB001NCDE8O%2Fref%3Dsr_1_2%3Fs%3Dsporting-goods%26ie%3DUTF8%26qid%3D1530065131%26sr%3D1-2%26keywords%3DNalgene\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Nalgene-Tritan-Mouth-BPA-Free-Bottle\/dp\/B001NCDE8O\/ref=sr_1_2?s=sporting-goods&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1530065131&amp;sr=1-2&amp;keywords=Nalgene\"><\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Lowe&#8217;s carries a complete spectrum of whole house water filters that range in price from $53.00 to $2,347.00.
