Why You Need a Whole Home Water Filtration System (And Why Filtercon Is the Clear Choice)

Water touches every part of your life—from the glass you drink to the shower you take, the dishes you clean, and even the air you breathe through steam. And while most cities treat their water to meet federal standards, the truth is: “legal” doesn’t always mean “safe.”

At Filtercon Technologies, we believe clean water should be a basic standard—not a luxury. That’s why we build advanced, American-made whole home water filtration systems that give your family real protection—starting from the moment water enters your home.

What’s Really In Your Water?

You might be surprised.

According to the Environmental Working Group (EWG), U.S. tap water contains over 250 potentially harmful contaminants, many of which are not regulated by the EPA. These include:

  • Lead – which even in small doses can harm brain development in children

  • PFAS – "forever chemicals" linked to cancer, fertility issues, and thyroid disease

  • Chlorine & Chloramine – used to disinfect, but harsh on skin, lungs, and plumbing

  • Nitrates & Pesticides – found in areas near farms and lawns with chemical runoff

  • Microplastics – increasingly common in urban water systems

Why a Whole Home Water Filter (Not Just a Pitcher or Faucet Filter)?

While under-sink filters or bottled water may help a bit, they only protect your drinking water—and only at one point. A whole home system protects your entire household by:

Filtering all incoming water – not just what you drink, but what you bathe in and breathe in
Improving indoor air quality – by removing chlorine from your shower steam
Extending the life of appliances – less scale, less corrosion, longer life for washers, dishwashers, and water heaters
Being safer for sensitive skin – no harsh chemicals aggravating eczema or allergies
Saving money over time – no bottled water, fewer repairs, and less detergent needed for cleaning

And when installed properly, a whole house filtration system can even add value to your home.
