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.

What are the benefits of eco-friendly, reusable, refillable water bottles and a water filter system:
First is your wallet. You can save over $800 a year with your re-usable water bottle and your own water home filter system. Buy a countertop, undersink, whole house, or pitcher water filters and bottle your own filtered water. For instance, bottled/delivered water = $0.79/gal, Reverse Osmosis water = $0.02/gal. You save $ 0.77/gal. If you use 3 gallons per day, 1,095 gallon per year, you could save up to $843 per year. You can save this money to buy a lot of Christmas gifts! You can also buy a portable, re-usable sport bottle with filter.
Second is your health. Glass water bottles, stainless steel water bottles, and safe plastic water bottles (labeled #2 HPDE, #4 LPDE, #5 PP, and #1 PETE) are BPA-free. They will not leach harmful chemicals into your water.
Third is the environment. Empty plastics make beaches, shorelines, and parks look unsightly. More people need to understand the harmful of plastic bottles to the national and local economies, health, recreation, and the environment. Clean-up costs are preventable burdens on the local and national economy. Bottle your own water with a home filter system and keep tons of environmentally harmful empty plastic bottles out our waterways, landfills, and parks.

Let’s just accept that fluoride is bad for your health, so are soda, hamburger, cheese, and a host of other junk foods that aren’t even banned or regulated.
I beg your pardon? How could you compare the “toxic” fluoride in water with junk foods?
Well, do you know that too much water could be bad for your health as well? Your body needs water more than any fluid to maintain proper hydration. I am not a doctor but it’s a reality that you can get sick if you eat your favorite food too much or drink water too much. Your body can only take what it needs; any food or fluid in excess of what your body can absorb can be dangerous to your health.
Chlorine is toxic, it smells and tastes bad, but it’s very essential to disinfect and kill germs in water so you will not be sick from contaminated water. To remove any residual chlorine in drinking water you buy a water filter.
Fluoride may be bad for some but other people depend on this “toxic” chemical to maintain proper dental health. American Dental Association has determined the best dose your body can take. If fluoride in your water is a concern to you, filters are available to take care of excess fluoride in your water.
We probably use other essentials but potentially “toxic” chemicals everyday without any protests or complaints. One person’s negative view of fluoride in water could be another person’s positive view of fluoride as a solution to a (potential) dental problem.
