Do You Need a Whole-House Water Filter or Just One at the Tap? Actually, You Need Both!

PUR2o


When it comes to water filtration, the question often arises: Should I filter all the water in my home or just the water I drink? The answer is simple: You need both for the best protection!


At PUR2o, we offer filtration solutions designed to give you cleaner, healthier water wherever you need it. Here’s why a whole house filter (Point-of=Entry or POE) and a tap filter (Point-of-Use or POU) work best together.



Understanding the Basics: Whole House (POE) vs. Point-of-Use (POU) Filters


Point of Entry (POE) System - Installed where water enters your home, this system filters all the water you use—from showers to laundry to drinking.

✅ Whole-house coverage: Ensures that all water sources in your home, including sinks, showers, and laundry, are filtered.

✅ Appliance protection: Reduces sediment, chlorine, and other contaminants that can cause wear and tear on appliances such as dishwashers and water heaters.

✅ Softer skin and hair: Removes chlorine, heavy metals, and other impurities that can affect your skin and hair.



Point of Use (POU) System - Installed right at the tap for additional filtration and purification to provide water that's clean, safe and healthy. A POU system, such as the PUR2o Alkaline Plus with Molecular Hydrogen, is ideal for drinking and cooking.


✅ Targeted filtration: Targets and removes harmful contaminants like chlorine, heavy metals, & forever chemicals (PFAS) for the highest level of filtration possible

✅ Improved drinking water quality: Enhances the taste of your drinking water

✅ Healthy hydration: Enriched with essential minerals for healthy hydration



Why You Need Both Systems


Having both filtration systems brings unique advantages to your home. A whole-house filter removes chlorine and sediment from the water entering your home. The baseline filter protects your fixtures and plumbing but does not provide advanced filtration for complex contaminants. Point-of-use filters, such as the PUR2o Alkaline Plus with Molecular Hydrogen, directly address 100s of harmful contaminants, providing peace of mind for the water you use for drinking and cooking.


Having both a whole-house water filter and a point-of-use filter is an essential investment for your home and family. Together, these systems ensure that you enjoy clean, safe and healthy water throughout your home. Investing in both filtration methods not only protects your health but also extends the life of your plumbing and appliances.


Don't settle for anything less than the best quality for your water.
