Is a Whole House Filter the best choice for you?

The main question when selecting a water filtration solution is to decide whether you want to focus exclusively on drinking water, the water in your shower or if you wish to filter all the water that comes into your house. Many people don't realize that their laundry, lawn, pool and bathroom fixtures are all affected by the quality of the water with which these items come into contact. A water filter system for your whole house is slightly more expensive, but it carries with it considerable benefits. Treated water creates brighter, whiter laundry, and doesn't stain your ceramic and porcelain tubs and sinks. If you have chlorine in your bathroom sink for brushing teeth and face washing you are still being exposed to the chlorine you were trying to avoid when filtering water in your shower and at your kitchen sink. Chlorine in steam vapor when washing your face with hot water is not healthy and you are still ingesting it while brushing your teeth. And if you have several bathrooms it does not make sense to buy even more point of use filters for those areas.

Most people find themselves using less water for cleaning and showering when the water itself is clean and pure. Pipes and plumbing will also need fewer repairs, making the long-term economic benefits something to consider as well. Many customers opt for countertop and shower filters for health reasons and neglect what happens to their clothing from hard well water or chlorinated water that is being fed to their laundry rooms. This should be considered in you invest a fair amount of money on clothing.

If you are considering purchasing a combo pack or a shower filter AND a drinking water filter lets discuss the costs. A whole house system may be your best option if you want the added benefits of clean water for your laundry, in your bathroom sinks and throughout your home.

Let's do the math...
For those of you who buy a shower filter and a drinking water filter using 3 year period of time in our example:

If purchased separately an AQ4000 countertop drinking water filter costs 99.99, and replacement cartridges cost 47.99. The AQ4000 comes with a 6 month filter cartridge. In 3 years you will need 5 more replacement cartridges if you change filters at 6 month intervals as recommended.

99.99 + 239.95= $339.94

If you also purchase an Aquasana AQ shower filter unit at 67.99 and purchase 5 more replacement filter cartridges at 42.00 in this same 3 year period you will spend 67.99 + 210.00 = $277.99

Total for both units plus replacement filter cartridges for 3 years = $617.93

A Rhino EQ300 whole house filter comes with a 3 year filter and costs $799.20.

This option costs only $181.27 more in that 3 year period to filter all of the water that comes into your home. This figure was calculated based on our two most popular base models not including a shower massager or under counter install kit with faucet. If you select any of those options you will see that the purchase price of the two units get even closer in price to the EQ-300 Rhino whole house water filtration system.
