Wanting cleaner, better-tasting water is easy; deciding where to filter it is the real question. Whole-house and point-of-use systems solve different problems at very different price points. Here's how to choose.
Whole-house (point-of-entry)
Treats all the water entering your home — every tap, shower and appliance. It protects plumbing and appliances from sediment and scale and improves water everywhere. Best if you have sediment, recurring water-quality issues, or you're on borehole or tank water. It's plumbed into your main supply and sized to your home's flow.
Point-of-use
Treats water at one outlet — usually the kitchen tap — for drinking and cooking. Far cheaper, and ideal if your main goal is better drinking water rather than protecting the whole home.
What about hard water?
Standard filters improve taste and remove sediment but don't soften hard water — for scale you need a softener or conditioner. Matching the system to your actual issue matters.
