Why Whole House Water Filtration?

Pure, uncontaminated water is vital to our health and wellbeing. Unfortunately, clean sources of water are becoming increasingly hard to find. Even the water provided by our local municipalities or commercially bottled drinking water affords us no guarantee of safety..

See Bottled Water Facts and About Tap Water.

Filtering your own water has become a modern day necessity.

About tap water in the United States:

"Each day, millions of Americans turn on their taps and get water that exceeds the legal limits for dangerous contaminants."

US Today, Special Report. “How Safe Is Your Water?”

Municipal water treatment is primarily set up for disinfection rather water purification.

"Only 50 of the more than 60,000 water treatment facilities in the United States have modern equipment that can effectively remove toxic chemicals."

—Debra Lynn Dadd, Nontoxic, natural, and Earthwise (Tarcher/Perigee, 1990),41.

According to the U.S. E.P.A., “Every home in America has an elevated level of chloroform gas present due to the vaporization of chlorine... from tap and shower water.”

The Whole House Water Filter

Each HumaSafe whole house water filtration system is custom configured to your specific needs based upon your municipal water supply.

The basic stages to this system are:

Stage 1
A 5-micron sediment pre-filter for the removal of sediment, rust and debris that can clog or impair the main filter unity.

Stage 2
A blend of KDF-55, a copper/zinc oxidation media for the removal of chlorine, and a crushed mineral filter stone. By removing the chlorine and pre-conditioning the water, this stage allows maximum performance from the final stages.

Stage 3
20/50 mesh-coconut shell carbon for maximum reduction of synthetic chemicals.

Stage 4
A 12/40 mesh bituminous carbon media as a final polishing stage to enhance purity, clarity and taste.

Water Quality

A multi-step home filtration system is one of the most important appliances you can invest in for your family's health. The filter is installed on the main water pipe where it enters the building. This way all water sources in the home—drinking, bathing dishwashing and laundry—have been filtered and are of a superior quality. While many water filtration companies make claims they cannot substantiate, our system has been UL tested to ensure chlorine removal. Our system also has the highest UL certified capacity (300,000 gallons at 8 gallons/minute) of any whole house water filtration system in America.

Air Quality

Poor water quality results in poor indoor air quality. Disinfection byproducts and other contaminants vaporize into the air you breathe every time water is used in the home (i.e. while taking showers). The EPA rates chloroform gas (a disinfection byproduct) as one of the leading causes of dangerous indoor air quality in homes. It is also a known human carcinogen.

NOTE: Whole House Filtration system comes complete with main filter unit, pre-filter, installation kit, shut-off valve and required hardware. The unit requires 45" of vertical clearance, has a diameter of 9" at the base, and requires 24" of line length for proper installation. Typical installation is 1 to 2 hours by a licensed plumber and is usually done in your basement, garage, or hot water heater closet. The main filter unit is easily replaced, no plumber needed, every 3 years (5 years with no swimming pool). The sediment pre-filter should be changed every 3 to 6 months. Made in USA. 1-year mfg. warranty if installed by licensed plumber.


**Contaminant reduction claims have been evaluated and certified by the California Department of Health Services for accuracy.
