  • Bacteria, viruses and parasites
  • Man-made chemicals like PFOAs

  • Radioactive particles from uranium in soil
  • Hard water minerals like calcium and magnesium

Types of Whole House Water Filtration Systems

What are the types of water filters and how do you know which one is right for you? We’ve outlined the different types so you can make the best choice for your home.

  • Activated carbon: Activated carbon filters remove chlorine, sediment, and VOCs (volatile organic chemicals) from a home’s water supply. They improve the taste and smell of the water but don’t remove minerals, salt and inorganic matter from water.
  • Reverse osmosis: RO filters, as they are commonly called, significantly reduce contaminants in the water, such as salt, lead, mercury, asbestos, calcium, and iron. These filters do not remove chlorine, radon, or other VOCs.
  • Alkaline & Water Ionizers: Water ionizers raise the PH of drinking water by separating water into acidic and alkaline parts. The alkaline water is isolated into the stream of water that you would drink and use for all of your household tasks.
  • UV and Infrared filters: Ultraviolet (UV) water systems kill bacteria and viruses, disinfecting a home’s water supply without using chemicals. Like alkaline filters, Infrared purifiers soften water using heat and light to negatively charge the water.

The Benefits of a Whole House Water Filter

A whole house water filter can provide numerous benefits for your home. By filtering water at the point of entry, you can ensure that all the water used for drinking, cooking, bathing, and cleaning is free from contaminants. This helps to improve the overall water quality, making it safer and healthier for your family.

Whole house water filters can remove a variety of harmful substances, including sediment, chlorine, heavy metals, and microorganisms. This can lead to improved taste, reduced scaling, and a longer lifespan for your plumbing and appliances.

Choosing the Right Whole House Water Filtration System

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a whole-house water filtration system installation typically involve?
A whole-house water filtration system installation typically involves connecting the unit to the main water line, sizing it correctly for the home's water use, and installing bypass valves so the system can be serviced without shutting off water to the house. Basic sediment and carbon filters are simpler installs, while reverse osmosis or well water treatment systems involve more steps. Force Plumbing and Heating LLC installs filtration systems sized for homes throughout Monmouth County, New Jersey.
How often do whole-house water filter cartridges need to be replaced?
Most whole-house filter cartridges need replacing every three to six months, though sediment-heavy well water can require changes as often as every one to two months. A pressure drop at the faucets is usually a sign a filter is overdue for a change. Force Plumbing and Heating LLC sets up maintenance reminders for filtration customers in Holmdel, New Jersey.
What is the difference between a water softener and a water filter?
A water softener removes hardness minerals like calcium and magnesium that cause scale buildup, while a water filter targets sediment, chlorine, and other contaminants that affect taste and odor. Many homes in Monmouth County benefit from using both together. Force Plumbing and Heating LLC recommends the right combination for homes in Holmdel, New Jersey.
Should a plumber install a whole-house water filtration system?
A licensed plumber should install a whole-house water filtration system since it connects directly to the main water line and needs correct sizing, bypass valves, and code-compliant fittings to avoid leaks or reduced water pressure. Force Plumbing and Heating LLC installs and services filtration systems for homeowners throughout Monmouth County, New Jersey.
What should I do if my water suddenly tastes or smells off?
Sudden changes in taste or smell often signal a problem with your water filtration system, a shift in municipal water treatment, or bacteria growth in a well system, and should not be ignored. Boiling water does not fix chemical contamination, only some biological issues. Force Plumbing and Heating LLC tests water quality for homeowners throughout Monmouth County, New Jersey.
Do local plumbing codes affect filtration system installation in Holmdel, NJ?
Local plumbing codes affect filtration system installation mainly through backflow prevention requirements and drain line sizing for systems that produce wastewater, such as reverse osmosis units. A code-compliant installation protects the home's water supply from contamination. Force Plumbing and Heating LLC installs filtration systems that meet New Jersey's plumbing code requirements for Monmouth County homes.
What is the difference between point-of-use and whole-house filtration systems?
A point-of-use filter treats water at a single tap, like the kitchen sink, while a whole-house system filters all the water entering the home before it reaches any fixture. Whole-house systems protect appliances and plumbing from sediment and chlorine buildup throughout the home. Force Plumbing and Heating LLC helps homeowners in Monmouth County, New Jersey pick the right setup.
Can a homeowner replace filtration cartridges without a professional visit?
Yes, homeowners can usually replace filtration cartridges themselves, since most systems are designed with twist-off housings that only require shutting off the water supply first. Installing the initial system or working on reverse osmosis membranes is best left to a licensed plumber. Force Plumbing and Heating LLC handles new filtration installs for homes throughout Holmdel, New Jersey.
