Compare with RO: How is a whole house filter different from a home RO system?Updated 3 months ago

Whole house filters are large capacity systems that provide basic and specialized water purification used for showers, baths, laundry, dishes and general cleaning applications. Reverse osmosis systems use membrane filtration technology to produce ultra-pure bottled quality water that is 90-99% contaminant free for drinking & cooking. RO treated water is more refined and pure than whole house treated water, but it takes much longer to produce and the volume is much smaller, therefore it is not often used for whole house filtration.

For most households, the ideal setup would be to install both a RO system and a whole house carbon filter to treat their drinking, bathing & cleaning water. If water hardness is a problem, a water softener can be added. For people that have special water concerns or want more comprehensive water purification, they can consider one of our other whole house systems, our Total Solution filtration packages or even a whole house reverse osmosis system.
