Why You Should Get a Water Filter for Your Home

By Jeff Wise Published: July 12, 2021 Updated: August 28, 2026

Ever wonder why you should get a water filter for your home?

Drinking water can contain pesticides, heavy metals, chlorine, and other chemicals. See what's in tap water.

A home filter is a simple way to improve taste and reduce many of those contaminants.

Cleaner Water

A filter gives you cleaner-tasting tap water at home.

Many supplies contain chlorine and other chemical contaminants. Filtering can reduce those chemicals so you rely less on bottled water.

Take our water quality quiz.

Better Tasting Water

Chlorine is a common reason tap water smells or tastes like a pool. A carbon gravity filter usually improves that quickly.

A Home Water Filter Can Save Money

Bottled water adds up. A system that costs a few hundred dollars can pay for itself compared with buying bottles all year.

Bottled water can also contain contaminants. Filtering tap water at home cuts plastic and cost.

A countertop filter does not treat the whole-house plumbing line. For pipes and appliances, that is a different kind of system.

Good for the Environment

The U.S. throws away tens of millions of plastic bottles a day. A home filter cuts that waste.

Fewer Unwanted Chemicals

Filters are used to reduce chlorine, lead, and many other chemical contaminants. That is the main health-related reason families buy one.

A home filter is not a treatment for infection. If you are ill, see a doctor.

More Convenient

A countertop gravity filter means you do not have to haul cases of bottles home.

Skin and Chlorine

Chlorinated water can dry skin and worsen irritation for some people. A drinking-water filter helps the water you drink and cook with. Whole-house chlorine reduction is a separate product if showers are the issue.
