Whole Home VS Single Tap

What's best for you and your family?

point of entry water filterWhole Home (Point-of Entry or POE) systems filter all the water that enters your home – before it ever runs through your pipes. That means every drop flowing to your bathrooms, sinks, showers, washing machine, and kitchen is already clean and filtered. 

Single Tap (Point-of-Use or POU) systems often referred to as ‘drinking water, only filter water right before you use it – from a specific faucet or pitcher.
 

Which is better for your home and your health? 

A Whole Home (POE) Filtration System offers broader protection. It doesn’t just give you clean water to drink – it helps keep your entire home environment healthier. That’s because chemicals such as chloroform, and other trihalomethanes (THMs) can evaporate from unfiltered water during everyday tasks like washing dishes, doing laundry, or taking a shower. Once airborne, they can affect the air your family breathes. 

Chloroform is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can impact the nervous system and has been linked to serious health concerns. Research shows that our exposure to VOCs is often greater through breathing them in or absorbing them through our skin than through drinking water itself. For example, at normal shower temperatures, up to half of the chloroform in unfiltered water can become airborne before the water even hits the floor. 

A Whole Home (POE) Filtration System acts as your first line of defense – removing these harmful compounds before they ever have the chance to circulate through your home. 

It’s a simple step that supports your family’s health, comfort, and peace of mind, making it the superior option for your home and health.  

POE systems are the best defense against Volatile Organic Compounds and will help protect you and your family from harmful chemicals released into your homes atmosphere.

In addition to offering you a cleaner household atmosphere, POE systems are simply more convenient than a standalone pitcher, sink, or shower filter. Whole House Systems offer you fresh, clean water from any tap in your house. You don't have to worry about always walking to the kitchen to get a clean drink of water, any tap will give you the same filtered, chemical-free water.
