What Types of Whole House Water Filters Are There?

Types of Water Filters Explained

Water from municipalities or private sources is often contaminated with different contaminants. There may be lead, ammonia, aluminum, barium, and more. These contaminants can impact your overall health and cause dizziness, headaches, and illness. Having a water filter for your home can help minimize harmful substances in your drinking water. Here are the types of whole-house filters that you should consider.


  • Backwashing Filter: A backwashing filter has a large tank that has a loose-form filtration system. Water will be pushed out of the system once enough water is in the tank and new water forces existing water out. That is why it is called a backwashing filter.


  • Cartridge Filters: Cartridge filters include one or more removable filters that have a limited lifespan. These need to be replaced frequently. The contaminants become trapped in the filter and when it is clogged up, it is time for a new one.
