What you might be noticing

  • A taste or odor concern in utility-supplied water
  • Questions about whole-home versus drinking-tap treatment
  • A filter whose age or media is unknown

What to establish before buying

  1. Which utility serves the property?
  2. What disinfectant is used, and what is measured at the home?
  3. Is the goal a whole-home change or a drinking-water tap?

A mistake worth avoiding

“Filters everything” is not a useful specification. Match the exact finished system’s documented performance to the treatment goal.
