There are two very basic considerations before purchasing and installing a water filter in your house. Some of it are affordable, some are quite expensive but necessary nevertheless. The first factor is your water supply’s integrity and quality. If you are living in a town where your watershed is well protected and you are far off from commercial agriculture and various industries, then a counter top water filter might be good enough for you. But if you are living in a crowded metropolis with industrial plants all over the place even in the outskirts of the city (where water sources are usually located), then you might need a multi stage filtration system that is capable of filtering all raw water at once and distribute the already purified water to all water faucets in your house. The only water filtration system that can give you all these is the whole house water filter.
The second factor to look into is your own and your family’s vulnerability to contaminated water. You might have a good enough filter for the contaminants you wish to remove in your water but you also have a health condition that directly affects your immune system. In that case the quality of your raw water may not suffice the choice of the filter you installed. Since your immune system is compromised, you can move on to the next on the list which can do a better job at filtering your water. It may be more expensive but it can serve you best.
House water filtration systems are not paranoia induced purchases. It is a realistic preventive action for health problems.
