Benefits of installing a whole house water filter include great tasting filtered water (better than bottled water) from every tap, softer skin and hair, great tasting coffee and tea, and much more. Filtering out chlorine and other contaminants from your water means no more buying expensive bottled water, no more dry itchy skin, dry scalp or burning eyes in the shower. Did you know that chlorine turns into a gas at high temperatures? That means that when you take a shower your skin being the largest organ on your body opens its pores and absorbs the chlorine directly into your skin damaging the cells and drying them out. Did you know that washing your vegetables in chlorinated water actually cleans the water not the vegetable? The vegetable is the one who absorbs the chlorine from the water, all of these years you thought you were helping yourself by washing your vegetables. Imagine clean filtered water from every tap in your home. The fact is that your body is made up of about 70 percent water so it makes sense that the quality of water you put in it directly affects its performance. Great Water, Great Performance!
"Cancer risk among people drinking chlorinated water is as much as 93% higher than among those whose water does not contain chlorine."

The system consists of sediment, backwash carbon and UV filters. Sediment filter removes dirt, sand, rust, particles. Dirt accumulates at the bottom of the transparent bowl and is purged by momentarily opening the red ball valve. The unit can be easily taken apart so that the bowl and mesh screen can be washed with soap and water. Carbon filter removes chlorine, smell, organic contaminants such as THM, toluene, benzene, pesticides, MTBE. The unit has equivalent contact area of eight (8) football fields. Periodic backwash keeps the carbon media fresh and clean, works trouble/cost free for several years. At which time you only replace carbon media ($128). UV filter kills water-borne bacteria and viruses. Around 24 watts, almost negligible power consumption, a UV bulb lasts 2-3 years, $85 to replace. Absolutely the best system for chlorinated city water.

WH-1 - Our original KDF/GAC whole house water filer (sold since 1989) unit connects to the main water line to filter the entire house - all faucets, showers, and baths will have clean, filtered water! The water first passes through a high-flow 1 micron sediment prefilter. This deep pleated cartridge has maximum filtration with minimum pressure loss (only 0.25 psi at 8 gallons per minute). Then the water enters the main tank where KDF and granulated activated carbon (GAC) remove chlorine, heavy metals (including lead and hexavalent chromium/chromium-6), tastes, odors and chemicals. All the water in your home - kitchen, bath, showers, and laundry are filtered! The media filters approximately 300,000 gallons of water (about 3 years).

More quotes about water:
- In America each year we use over 2.2 billion pounds of pesticides,
or eight pounds for every man woman and child in the country. - The World Health Organization and the National Cancer Institute both suggest that the most human cancers, perhaps as many as 90% are caused by chemical carcinogens in the environment.
- “Putting chlorine in the water supplies is like starting a time bomb. Cancer, heart trouble, premature senility; both mental and physical, are conditions attributable to chlorine treated water supplies. It is making us grow old before out time by producing symptoms of aging, such as hardening of the arteries.”
- Dr. Herbert Schwarts, Biological Chemist - ”We are learning the hard way that all the time we thought we were preventing epidemics of one disease, we were creating another. Two decades after the start of chlorinating our drinking water the present epidemic of heart trouble and cancer began.”
- Dr. Joseph M. Price - “Showering is suspected as the primary cause of elevated levels of chloroform
in nearly every home because of chlorine in the water.”
- Dr Lance Wallace, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. - Today, bottled water enjoys a major section of the beverage isle and the prestige of being the fastest growing segment of the entire beverage industry, not to mention the most profitable.
- “The one thing we know for sure about toxins in our drinking water
is that the more we look the more we find.”
- Jacquelyn Warren of the National Resources Defense Council
