The Top 3 Reasons Why You Should Consider a Home Filter System

Published August 19, 2019 by Katie 2 Comments

Are you looking for the best place to buy a whole house water filter system? FiltersFast.com has got you covered.

If you landed on this blog, you may have asked yourself the following questions:

  • What is a whole house filter system?
  • Do I need a whole house filter system?
  • How do I know if I need a whole house filter system?
  • Is a whole house filter system a good investment?
  • What is the best whole house filter system on the market?

A whole house filter system installs into the main water line of your house and delivers fresh, filtered- water to your entire house. Although this is something that many people want, it might not be the best option for you, it all depends on your filtration needs. While the decision to install a whole house filtration system is ultimately up to you and we’re here to help equip you with the information that you need to make the right decision for you and your family.

There are tons of sites and blogs out there reviewing and comparing AP903 to AP904 and whole house filters system vs. under sink filter systems and it can be a bit overwhelming! If you’re wondering which 3M whole house water filter is right for you, it all boils down to the reason that you are thinking about investing in a water filtration system in the first place.

What’s your water issue?

  1. Foul-tasting, smelly water

The 3M Aqua-Pure AP903 Whole House Water Filter System is one of the most optimal single-cartridge whole house water filter systems on the entire water filter market! In addition to providing your home with high-quality filtered water, its advanced filtration will extend the life of your household appliances that are connected to the waterline. This system is ideal for city water with no scale issues.

For more information or to buy, please click here.

If you would like the benefits of a whole house water filtration system but would rather invest in a point-of-use system, you should consider the 3MFF100 Under Sink Purification System, which installs directly under your kitchen sink. This system provides water filtration on demand for drinking and for cooking purposes.

For more information or to buy, please click here.

  1. Scale build-up & foul-tasting water

If you have well or city water with scale issues, then the 3M Aqua-Pure AP904 is the whole house water filter system for you. This system helps reduce sediment and chlorine taste and odor, as well as scale build-up in pipes and your water-using appliances. The scale inhibition feature uses polyphosphates in minute quantity to bind calcium and magnesium hardness minerals, preventing them from precipitating out and building-up on metallic surfaces.

  1. Scale build-up in your hot water-using appliances

If you’re noticing unsightly white chalky streaks in your dishwasher, shower or washing machine, you most likely have a scale build-up problem. If you want to get rid of those embarrassing stains and extend the life of your hot water heater and hot water-using appliances, invest in the 3M Aqua-Pure Whole House Scale Inhibition Water Treatment System AP430SS. It will increase the efficiency of your hot water system so it runs cleaner, but it can also save you money on maintenance costs!

    Bob,

    Thank you for reaching out to us. Filter sumps (clear bowl) are model-specific. Please review the cap to confirm whether a model number is available. Unfortunately, many manufacturers do not display the model number on the housing. Without the model number, we could not guarantee compatibility. If this is the case we would recommend installing a brand new housing (cap and sump) with an opaque housing. The opaque variety is more sturdy and will last longer than the clear variety.

    Dear FilterFast, I had an inline water filter installed in my home several years ago. The housing (clear plastic or lexan) failed and the outcome was about 2 inches of water in my basement. Fortunately, I had another plumber install a bypass, so, its not as if I had no water. I do have water, even though it is not filtered ( I was expecting laundry to be affected, but, thank God, it hasn’t happened yet! ) I don’t use / engage the plumber who installed the in-line filter for the simple reason that he left me with no information about this in-line filter. I have twice ordered (from Home Depot) what I thought was the correct size filter housing, but, on both occasions the housing did not fit. Is there any way that I could give you dimensions from what I can measure / describe?
