Benefits of a Whole House Water Filter System
Purified water comes out of every faucet in your house by reducing contaminants such as chlorine, sediment, and heavy metals.
Contaminants such as metals can affect the taste and odor of your drinking water. Filtered water will make the water taste better, so it will not be a chore to get your proper water intake.
Safe drinking water is guaranteed in every water source in your house.
Clean drinking water contributes to your overall health.
Whether you’re cleaning, bathing, or washing clothes, you’re using water free from harmful impurities and toxins. Showering in chlorine-free water will make a noticeable difference in your hair and skin.
Eliminates the need for smaller fridge filters and containers that you have to constantly refill and let the water filter through before you drink.
A properly sized system will not reduce water flow. All of our whole house water filter systems use
Catalytic Carbon
Functionality of Whole House Water Filter Systems
The filtration process begins with a sediment filter that reduces larger particles such as dirt and sand. This initial step protects and extends the lifespan of the subsequent filters.
Next, our filters use activated carbon to reduce chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other chemicals, thereby enhancing the taste, odor, and overall quality of your water.
Our filters may also include specialized media like KDF (Kinetic Degradation Fluxion), which aids in reducing heavy metals. This thorough filtration process ensures your water is free from both visible and invisible contaminants.
Maintenance is straightforward and hassle-free. Regular checks for wear and tear or leaks are recommended, with filter replacement typically required every three years, for most residential applications.
Choosing the Perfect Whole House Water Filter System
Choosing a whole house water filter system involves understanding your water source, identifying the required filtration stages and technologies, and assessing your household’s capacity requirements.
The quality and composition of city water and well water can vary significantly. City water, although treated, may still contain impurities that require additional filtration.
Well water
may contain higher levels of minerals and sediments that need to be addressed.
The required filtration stages and technologies depend on the specific contaminants present in your water. For instance, activated carbon filters are effective for reducing chlorine and VOCs, while
reverse osmosis systems
are excellent at reducing dissolved solids and microorganisms.
Consider your household size and water usage patterns when choosing a system to ensure it can meet your water demand without compromising filtration efficiency.
There is no better time than the present to prioritize your family’s health and well-being. Buy a whole house water filter system right now.
FAQs About Whole House Water Filter System
Q:
How do I size a whole-house carbon system?
A:
Match tank size to peak household flow (showers + appliances). Standard backwashing options cover ~4-15 GPM; large-home systems span ~16-45 GPM.
Q:
When would I add lead/cyst or bacteria reduction?
A:
Use Pentek LR-BB50 for lead/cyst on city water; add a Doulton ceramic element for ~4-5 GPM bacteria reduction when needed.
Q:
Do whole house water filter systems cut pressure?
A:
Correctly sized models are designed to maintain flow (choose port size 3/4″-1.5″ and appropriate cu-ft media for your GPM).

## Benefits of a Whole House Water Filter System
- Purified water comes out of every faucet in your house by reducing contaminants such as chlorine, sediment, and heavy metals.
- Contaminants such as metals can affect the taste and odor of your drinking water. Filtered water will make the water taste better, so it will not be a chore to get your proper water intake.
- Safe drinking water is guaranteed in every water source in your house.
- Clean drinking water contributes to your overall health.
- Whether you’re cleaning, bathing, or washing clothes, you’re using water free from harmful impurities and toxins. Showering in chlorine-free water will make a noticeable difference in your hair and skin.
- Eliminates the need for smaller fridge filters and containers that you have to constantly refill and let the water filter through before you drink.
- A properly sized system will not reduce water flow. All of our whole house water filter systems use [Catalytic Carbon](https://www.h2odistributors.com/product-info/media-catalytic-carbon/)
## Functionality of Whole House Water Filter Systems
1. The filtration process begins with a sediment filter that reduces larger particles such as dirt and sand. This initial step protects and extends the lifespan of the subsequent filters.
2. Next, our filters use activated carbon to reduce chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other chemicals, thereby enhancing the taste, odor, and overall quality of your water.
3. Our filters may also include specialized media like KDF (Kinetic Degradation Fluxion), which aids in reducing heavy metals. This thorough filtration process ensures your water is free from both visible and invisible contaminants.
4. Maintenance is straightforward and hassle-free. Regular checks for wear and tear or leaks are recommended, with filter replacement typically required every three years, for most residential applications.
## Choosing the Perfect Whole House Water Filter System
Choosing a whole house water filter system involves understanding your water source, identifying the required filtration stages and technologies, and assessing your household’s capacity requirements.
The quality and composition of city water and well water can vary significantly. City water, although treated, may still contain impurities that require additional filtration. [Well water](https://www.h2odistributors.com/product-category/systems/well-water-systems/) may contain higher levels of minerals and sediments that need to be addressed.
The required filtration stages and technologies depend on the specific contaminants present in your water. For instance, activated carbon filters are effective for reducing chlorine and VOCs, while [reverse osmosis systems](https://www.h2odistributors.com/product-category/systems/reverse-osmosis-systems/) are excellent at reducing dissolved solids and microorganisms.
Consider your household size and water usage patterns when choosing a system to ensure it can meet your water demand without compromising filtration efficiency.
There is no better time than the present to prioritize your family’s health and well-being. Buy a whole house water filter system right now.
## FAQs About Whole House Water Filter System
**Q:** How do I size a whole-house carbon system?
**A:** Match tank size to peak household flow (showers + appliances). Standard backwashing options cover ~4-15 GPM; large-home systems span ~16-45 GPM.
**Q:** When would I add lead/cyst or bacteria reduction?
**A:** Use Pentek LR-BB50 for lead/cyst on city water; add a Doulton ceramic element for ~4-5 GPM bacteria reduction when needed.
**Q:** Do whole house water filter systems cut pressure?
**A:** Correctly sized models are designed to maintain flow (choose port size 3/4″-1.5″ and appropriate cu-ft media for your GPM).
There is no better time than the present to prioritize your family’s health and well-being. Buy a whole house water filter system right now.

#### Buttress Thread vs Acme Thread Comparison
Buttress Threads provide superior sealing and higher burst ratings than the Acme Threads found on most housings. Because of this, Pentek introduced their line of 3G Housings that feature buttress threads. We also carry housings from Watts/Flowmatic & Kemflo that utilize buttress threads.

#### Everpure QL3 Head
Everpure systems include a .5 GPM flow restrictor fitting that should be installed in the outlet port of the head. The fitting limits the flow of water that can go through the filter to .5 GPM.
To increase the flow to 1 GPM to match the flow rate of the MAF Cartridge, the .5 GPM fitting must be replaced with a 1 GPM fitting. The MAF cartridge will work with the .5 GPM flow restrictor, but the flow will be limited to .5 GPM. It is only necessary to replace this fitting if you desire an increase in your flow rate.
It is possible that the flow restrictor may be installed on the inlet port, however this is not recommended. If upon removing the fitting from the outlet, if it is not found to have a flow restrictor in the fitting (usually stainless steel), remove the inlet fitting and see if the flow restrictor was installed on the inlet side.
It is recommended that the flow restrictor be installed on the outlet port to prevent the small opening from becoming clogged with sediment from the untreated water.

#### John Guest Quick-Connect Instructions
[Download Quick-Connect Instructions](https://www.h2odistributors.com/pdf/guide-john-guest-quick-connect.pdf)
Requires [Adobe Acrobat Reader](https://get.adobe.com/reader/)
### Step 1 – Insert Tube

Fitting grips before it seals. Ensure tube is pushed into the tube stop.
### Step 2 – Push Up to Tube Stop

Push the tube into the fitting, to the tube stop. The collet (gripper) has stainless steel teeth which hold the tube firmly in position while the O-ring provides a permanent leak-proof seal.
### Step 3 – Pull To Check if Secure

Pull on the tube to check that it is secure. It is a good practice to test the system prior to leaving site and/or before use.
### Step 4 – Disconnecting

To disconnect, ensure the system is depressurized before removing the tube. Push in collet squarely against face of fitting. With the collet held in this position, the tube can be removed. The fitting can then be re-used.

#### Reduction Of Lead In Drinking Water Act
### Lead In Drinking Water Act
In 2011 Congress enacted the Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Act to amend the Safe Drinking Water Act’s section regarding the use and introduction into commerce of lead pipes, plumbing fittings or fixtures, solder and flux. The Act established a prospective effective date of January 4, 2014, which provided a three year timeframe for affected parties to transition to the new requirements. All of the metal fixtures and fittings sold by H2O Distributors are compliant with this act.

Requires [Adobe Acrobat Reader](https://get.adobe.com/reader/)
### Step 1 – Insert Tube

Fitting grips before it seals. Ensure tube is pushed into the tube stop.
### Step 2 – Push Up to Tube Stop

Push the tube into the fitting, to the tube stop. The collet (gripper) has stainless steel teeth which hold the tube firmly in position while the O-ring provides a permanent leak-proof seal.
### Step 3 – Pull To Check if Secure

Pull on the tube to check that it is secure. It is a good practice to test the system prior to leaving site and/or before use.
### Step 4 – Disconnecting

To disconnect, ensure the system is depressurized before removing the tube. Push in collet squarely against face of fitting. With the collet held in this position, the tube can be removed. The fitting can then be re-used.

#### SharkBite Push-To-Connect Instructions

### How To Install SharkBite Brass Push-To-Connect Fittings
SharkBite brass push-to-connect fittings create a seamless and easy transition between different types of pipe materials. No tools are required and the fittings can be even installed in wet lines. The fitting can be rotated after installation, so you can install without having to worry about how it’s positioned. SharkBite fittings are also approved for behind the wall and underground installations. If the fitting is being installed for underground use, wrap with silicone self-adhesive tape before burying.
### Step 1 – Identify the pipe material
To get started, identify the pipe material. SharkBite brass push-to-connect fittings are compatible with PEX, Copper, CPVC, PE-RT and HDPE pipe. SharkBite fittings come with a PEX stiffener pre-loaded into the fitting for PEX, PE-RT and HDPE. The PEX stiffener does not need to be removed for Copper or CPVC applications.
### Step 2 – Cut pipe cleanly & squarely
Be sure the pipe is free of scratches or debris and cut the pipe as cleanly and squarely as possible. If you are working with copper pipe, use a deburr tool or sand paper to remove any sharp edges or burrs on the pipe. Failing to deburr the pipe properly can compromise the fitting.
### Step 3 – Measure & mark the insertion depth
Use your SharkBite Deburr & Gauge Tool to measure and mark the insertion depth on your pipe.
### Step 4 – Make the connection
Push the fitting to the insertion mark you just made on the pipe. Now, turn on the water and check the connection.
### Removing SharkBite Fittings
Unlike other fittings, SharkBite brass push-to-connect fittings can be removed and re-used if changes are necessary. To remove the fitting, use a SharkBite Disconnect Clip or Disconnect Tongs. To use the Disconnect Clip, snap it on to the pipe and pull up to the release collar. Press the release collar using the Disconnect Clip and pull the pipe from the fitting. To use the Disconnect Tongs, slide the tongs over the fitting and the pipe. Squeeze the tongs to press the fitting’s release collar and pull the pipe from the fitting. The SharkBite Universal brass push-to-connect fitting is ready to re-use.

## Benefits of a Whole House Water Filter System
- Purified water comes out of every faucet in your house by reducing contaminants such as chlorine, sediment, and heavy metals.
- Contaminants such as metals can affect the taste and odor of your drinking water. Filtered water will make the water taste better, so it will not be a chore to get your proper water intake.
- Safe drinking water is guaranteed in every water source in your house.
- Clean drinking water contributes to your overall health.
- Whether you’re cleaning, bathing, or washing clothes, you’re using water free from harmful impurities and toxins. Showering in chlorine-free water will make a noticeable difference in your hair and skin.
- Eliminates the need for smaller fridge filters and containers that you have to constantly refill and let the water filter through before you drink.
- A properly sized system will not reduce water flow. All of our whole house water filter systems use [Catalytic Carbon](https://www.h2odistributors.com/product-info/media-catalytic-carbon/)
## Functionality of Whole House Water Filter Systems
1. The filtration process begins with a sediment filter that reduces larger particles such as dirt and sand. This initial step protects and extends the lifespan of the subsequent filters.
2. Next, our filters use activated carbon to reduce chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other chemicals, thereby enhancing the taste, odor, and overall quality of your water.
3. Our filters may also include specialized media like KDF (Kinetic Degradation Fluxion), which aids in reducing heavy metals. This thorough filtration process ensures your water is free from both visible and invisible contaminants.
4. Maintenance is straightforward and hassle-free. Regular checks for wear and tear or leaks are recommended, with filter replacement typically required every three years, for most residential applications.
## Choosing the Perfect Whole House Water Filter System
Choosing a whole house water filter system involves understanding your water source, identifying the required filtration stages and technologies, and assessing your household’s capacity requirements.
The quality and composition of city water and well water can vary significantly. City water, although treated, may still contain impurities that require additional filtration. [Well water](https://www.h2odistributors.com/product-category/systems/well-water-systems/) may contain higher levels of minerals and sediments that need to be addressed.
The required filtration stages and technologies depend on the specific contaminants present in your water. For instance, activated carbon filters are effective for reducing chlorine and VOCs, while [reverse osmosis systems](https://www.h2odistributors.com/product-category/systems/reverse-osmosis-systems/) are excellent at reducing dissolved solids and microorganisms.
Consider your household size and water usage patterns when choosing a system to ensure it can meet your water demand without compromising filtration efficiency.
There is no better time than the present to prioritize your family’s health and well-being. Buy a whole house water filter system right now.
