There are a lot of water purifying systems in market of varying in size, quality, type. A Aquasana whole house water filter is one of the types of water filters. This type of water filter provides purified water to an entire house since it is connected to the main water line.

Since there are many types of whole house water filters products in market, it will always be a difficult task for a consumer to choose the right one. We choose an Aquasana.  First thing should be the flow rate of a whole house water filter depending on the size of the house. The required flow rate should be between 10-40 gpm (Gallons per Minute). Second thing is the filter size. If a whole house water filter has a large size, then more water will flow through it with great pressure. The recommended filter size for most houses is 4.5” x 20”. Next thing is the filter life. The life of a whole house water filter depends on the good quality carbon filter cartridges. The last thing is the port size which along with a proper filter helps in carrying more water. The ideal port size is 1 inch.

The model was the Aquasana AQ-4210. What we like is that the dual filter system water filter is so superior to plastic “jug” type filters like Britta. Hooking it up was very simple and easy to accomplish. We took our sprayer out of the sink (which we never used) and replaced it with the faucet, which came with the unit. Then a couple of screws with the filter part under the sink and a couple of “push” connections and we were done!

Then off to the bathroom where we installed the Aquasana AQ-4100 shower filter. This only took a minute or two and the Aquasana AQ-4100, product of the year by Cosmetology Today was installed. It comes with a two-stage filter cartridge and an adjustable pressure showerhead. (With a massaging pulse setting, which I love!)

Recent studies have shown that water from a shower, which contains chlorine, is 7-10 times unhealthier than drinking water! Both products were simple to install and I would recommend them to everyone.
