When it comes to water filtration, choosing between a whole-house system and an under-sink  filter can be overwhelming. Both offer clean water, but they serve different purposes. Let’s  break down the key differences and help you decide which is the best fit for your home.

What is Whole-House Filtration?

A whole-house water filtration system is installed at the main water line, ensuring that every faucet, shower, and appliance receives filtered water. It removes contaminants like chlorine, sediment, and heavy metals before the water even enters your home’s plumbing.
Pros:
✔ Provides clean water for showers, baths, and cooking
✔ Protects appliances from mineral buildup
✔ Improves water quality for skin and hair health
Cons:
✖ Higher upfront cost
✖ Requires professional installation
✖ Removes 99.99% of contaminants in water

What is an Under-Sink Filtration System?

An under-sink water filter is installed at a single point of use—typically the kitchen sink—to provide purified drinking and cooking water.
Pros:
✔ Affordable and easy to install
✔ Provides high-quality drinking water
✔ Doesn’t require major plumbing changes
Cons:
✖ Only filters water at one location
✖ Doesn’t protect appliances or showers from contaminants

Which One is Right for You?

● Choose a whole-house system if you want clean water from every tap, better skin and hair health, and protection for your appliances.
● Choose an under-sink filter if you only need purified drinking water and prefer a budget-friendly option.
Both systems improve water quality—it all depends on your home’s needs!
