There are four categories of water contaminants which are taste and odor causing contaminants, lead, bacteria/parasites, and rust and sediment. If you are concerned about the water that comes into your house you can have an independent laboratory test it for you before you buy a whole house water filter. The whole house filtration system that your house needs depends on the quality of you water supply. In looking into what water filters to use you need to identify the quality of your water supply.

If the water coming into your house tastes or smells bad you can improve upon your water by purchasing a whole house water filter. This could be a result of municipal water that often smells of chlorine. A filter can treat the conditions of water that smells or tastes bad by using Granular Activated Carbon, a substance that absorbs contaminants to the water that would make the water both taste and smell bad.

Having rust and sediment in your water supply is one reason to get a whole house water filter. Particles can be noticed in your water and by using a filter the particles can be filtered out.
