A whole house water filtration system treats all water entering your home — every faucet, shower, and appliance receives filtered water. Multi-stage carbon media removes chlorine, chloramines, PFAS compounds, lead, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and sediment. Unlike point-of-use filters, whole house systems protect your skin and hair in showers, prevent chlorine damage to appliances, and eliminate chemical odors throughout the home.
South Florida Contaminant Data
Broward County 2024 Water Quality Report shows PFOS at 0.018–0.024 µg/L, approaching the EPA maximum contaminant level of 0.004 µg/L set in April 2024. Chlorine levels average 2.9–3.8 ppm. HAA5 and TTHM disinfection byproducts test near legal limits. Lead is detectable at the tap in older homes with lead solder joints. A whole house filtration system provides comprehensive protection beyond municipal treatment.
Filtration vs Softener vs Reverse Osmosis
Whole house filtration removes chemical contaminants (chlorine, PFAS, lead, VOCs) but does not soften water. Water softeners remove calcium and magnesium hardness but not chemicals. Reverse osmosis removes virtually everything but is typically used at the kitchen sink. Many South Florida homes benefit from a combination system — softener plus filtration — for complete treatment from $3,000 installed.
