How much you want to spend on a water filter for the whole will depend on how soon you need one or how quickly you succumb to a salesperson’s pressure.

The cost consideration may be secondary if it’s something you need for urgent needs. But if you have time to research and understand exactly what you are buying, you could get the best deal for an effective, third-party certified water filter for your house.

If you let a sales pitch conquer you, then you are in for an expensive filter your house may not need. Don’t be like those congressmen who need a speed reader before they vote on a Bill or those that didn’t even read the Bill at all.  (Just a needed off-track comment!)

You don’t have to spend thousands of dollars on an unnecessary water filter. You can save yourself a whole lot of trouble if you do a simple water test to confirm that if you need a filter in your house. You can buy a water testing kit to confirm a wide variety of chemicals in your drinking water. It’s a simple testing process that will save you a bunch now and the future need for water replacement filter cartridges.

If you need a filter for your whole house, you could spend less than $600.00 on a filter to reduce contaminants like dirt, algae, large particulate, rust, tastes and odors. You can also spend over $1000 for a whole house filter for a special purpose like water softener/filter combination.
