How Do Whole Home Water Filtration Systems Work?

A whole home water filtration system, also commonly called a whole house water filter,
is installed on the main water line entering your home. Instead of filtering water at
just one faucet, the system treats incoming water before it is distributed to your
kitchen, bathrooms, showers, laundry and other fixtures.

PureSync Home systems use multiple filtration stages rather than relying on a single
filter. Sediment pre-filtration helps capture rust, dirt and debris before the water
moves through additional filtration media designed to address a broad range of common
household water quality concerns.

This multi-stage approach allows different filtration media to perform different jobs
while maintaining the flow needed for whole-home use. PureSync Home systems also
preserve naturally occurring minerals, require no electricity for normal filtration
and do not create a wastewater stream.

What Can a Whole Home Water Filtration System Reduce?

Water quality varies considerably from one home to another. Municipal water,
private well water, local conditions and household plumbing can all influence what
is present in your water. PureSync Home systems are designed to provide
broad-spectrum contaminant reduction, with available third-party testing supporting
reduction claims for many common water quality concerns.

Common Water Quality Concerns

  • Chlorine and chloramine
  • VOCs and THMs
  • Taste, odor and discoloration
  • Sediment, rust and turbidity

Chemical and Industrial Contaminants

  • PFAS, including PFOA and PFOS
  • Fluoride
  • Lead, mercury and arsenic
  • BTEX compounds

Agricultural and Emerging Contaminants

  • Pesticides and herbicides
  • Glyphosate, atrazine and simazine
  • Pharmaceuticals and personal care product residues
  • Other common modern water quality concerns


Filtration performance is based on available third-party laboratory testing.
Actual results may vary depending on source water quality, water chemistry,
flow rate, plumbing conditions, filter condition and maintenance schedule.

Choosing the Right Whole Home Water Filtration System

There is no single whole house water filtration system that is right for every home.
The best choice depends on your water source, the contaminants or water quality
concerns you want to address, household water demand and the level of filtration
you prefer.

Consider Your Water Source

City water and private well water can present different filtration challenges.
Municipal water is generally treated before reaching your home, but homeowners may
still be concerned about chlorine, chloramine, disinfection byproducts, PFAS, VOCs,
metals, sediment or other contaminants.

Well water conditions can vary significantly from property to property based on
local geology, the well and surrounding conditions. If your home uses well water,
evaluating your specific water quality can help determine whether additional
treatment or pre-filtration is appropriate.

Know What Is in Your Water

Taste, odor and appearance can identify some water quality problems, but they do
not tell you everything that may be present. A water quality report or laboratory
water test can provide more useful information about the contaminants and conditions
you may want your filtration system to address.

Once you understand your water, you can make a more informed decision about the
type and level of whole home filtration that makes sense for your household.

Consider Household Water Demand

Whole home filtration needs to provide effective contact with the filtration media
while still supporting normal household water use. PureSync Home systems are designed
to support strong whole-home flow for most homes in their recommended size range.
Actual flow can vary depending on plumbing size, incoming water pressure, water
quality, filter condition and the number of fixtures being used at the same time.

Whole Home Water Filtration vs. Water Softening

A whole home water filtration system and a water softener are designed to solve
different water problems. Whole-home filtration focuses primarily on reducing
contaminants and improving overall water quality. Traditional water softeners
address hardness by removing or exchanging minerals such as calcium and magnesium.

PureSync Home systems are not water softeners and are designed to preserve naturally
occurring minerals. If hard-water scale is also a concern, a separate scale-control
system can be used alongside whole-home filtration.

Greenfield Water Solutions offers

salt-free water descalers

designed to help reduce scale buildup without the salt, regeneration cycles and
wastewater associated with conventional salt-based softeners.

Whole Home Water Filter Installation and Maintenance

Installation

PureSync Home water filtration systems connect to the main water line entering
the house. Greenfield Water Solutions recommends professional installation by a
licensed plumber and does not provide installation services.

PureSync Home systems should be installed indoors in a protected location such as
a garage, utility room or basement. The installation area should protect the system
from direct sunlight, freezing temperatures and weather exposure while providing
enough room to access the filter housings for routine maintenance.

Filter Maintenance

Main filtration stages should typically be replaced every
6–12 months, depending on water quality and usage.
Sediment filters should generally be replaced approximately every
3 months or as needed.

You may need to replace filters sooner if you notice:

  • A noticeable reduction in water flow
  • Changes in taste or odor
  • Unusual sediment or discoloration
  • Other changes in water quality or filtration performance

You can find replacement cartridges and maintenance products in our

Frequently Asked Questions About Whole Home Water Filtration Systems

What is a whole home water filtration system?

A whole home water filtration system connects to the main water supply entering
your house and filters water before it is distributed to individual fixtures.
This provides filtered water throughout the home instead of treating water at
only one faucet.

Is a whole house water filter the same as a whole home water filter?

Yes. The terms whole house water filter and
whole home water filtration system are commonly used to describe
point-of-entry filtration systems that treat water as it enters the home.

Can PureSync Home systems be used with city or well water?

PureSync Home systems are designed for city or well water. Because well-water
conditions can vary considerably, homeowners with private wells should evaluate
their water quality and specific treatment needs when selecting a system.

Will a whole home water filtration system reduce water pressure?

Any filtration system can create some resistance to water flow. PureSync Home
systems are designed to support strong whole-home flow when properly sized and
maintained. Actual performance depends on plumbing size, incoming pressure,
water quality, filter condition and household demand.

Does a whole home water filter soften hard water?

No. PureSync Home systems are designed for contaminant reduction and are not
traditional water softeners. If hardness or scale is also a concern, a separate
water softener or salt-free descaler may be used with the filtration system.

How often should whole home water filters be replaced?

PureSync Home main filtration stages should typically be replaced every
6–12 months depending on water usage and water quality. Sediment filters
should generally be replaced every 3 months or as needed.

Who should install a whole home water filtration system?

Greenfield Water Solutions recommends installation by a licensed plumber.
PureSync Home systems connect directly to the home's main water line and should
be installed indoors in a protected location.

Do PureSync Home water filtration systems require electricity?

No. PureSync Home systems use the home's existing water pressure for normal
filtration and do not require electricity. They also do not create a wastewater
stream during normal filtration.

Need Help Choosing a Whole Home Water Filtration System?

The right whole home water filtration system depends on your water source,
household size, water quality and filtration goals. If you are deciding between
PureSync Home and PureSync Home Lite, Greenfield Water Solutions can help you
compare the systems and determine which option is the better fit for your home.
