How Does a Whole-House Chlorine Filter Work?

The water that comes through the faucets in your house might contain several types of contaminants. If your water is unpleasant to drink because of the taste and smell of chlorine, a whole-house chlorine filter can help. 

How a Whole-House Filter Can Remove Contaminants and Give You Clean Water

Water that passes through a whole-house filter goes through a few stages that remove different types of contaminants. The pre-filter stage removes sediment, silt, and other large contaminants from the water supply. 

Next, water goes through an activated carbon filter. Activated carbon binds to chlorine and chloramines in the water and removes them.

The final step is the post-filter stage. That part of the process removes any other contaminants from the water so that it’s clean and safe. 

A whole-house water filter is installed where the main water line enters the house and treats all of the water that comes into the home. With a whole-house filter, you can be confident that the water that comes out of any faucet in your home will be free of contaminants.
