So, you’ve finally built your dream home. Along the way, you’ve thought of everything – from the color of the walls, to the furniture, to the kitchen appliances. But have you given much thought to your home’s water filtration system? If you haven’t, you should. After all, your custom home deserves more than southern Ohio’s hard water.

Home water filtration systems have a multitude of benefits. First and foremost, they promote health for you and your family. Hard water contains chemicals and minerals that can dry out your skin and hair which can lead to premature aging. It can also be detrimental for family members with sensitive skin.

Additionally, mineral deposits can shorten the lifespan of your custom home’s plumbing. Calcium, magnesium and other minerals can corrode pipes over time which can lead to costly repairs. And did you know that home water filtration systems are good for the planet? You’ll never have to buy plastic bottles of water again once you invest in a water filtering system. And that means less plastic in the landfill.

Ready to take the next step? Below are our five top choices for home water filtration systems.

#5 – SpringWell CF1
SpringWell makes excellent water filtration systems, and the CF1 model is at the top of the line. This million-gallon system features an upflow design along with their patented system. It employs a four-stage filtering process that keeps water free from any hazardous chemicals or impurities. In addition to filtering out chlorine and acids, it can also filter herbicides, pesticides and PFOA. This system also earns high marks for being easy to install and upkeep.

More pros include a lifetime warranty, a six-month money-back guarantee, and the ability to filter 99.6% of germs in water.

#4 – SoftPro Catalytic Carbon Filter
This fantastic home water filtration system uses catalytic carbon to remove pesticides, herbicides, heavy metals, chlorine, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from water. The system traps the contaminants that get absorbed by the carbon component which prevents them from passing through the system.

Easy to maintain and install, the system can filter 600,000 to 1,000,000 gallons of water for five years. It also comes in various sizes, depending on the number of rooms in the home that use water.  According SoftPro’s website, it can filter 99% of toxins. That’s pretty impressive.

#3 – Aquasana Rhino
This 2-in-1 whole house water filtration system does double duty —  filtering and softening water. First the Aquasana Rhino purifies the water, then it changes ions that cause “hard” water before the it flows throughout the home. It features a KDF filtration system and scale control, so it earns high marks for keeping plumbing in top shape. This is another great choice for a custom home, as it can last about ten years, or for one million gallons of water.

#2 – Pentair Carbon Series
Pentair has been making high-quality water filtration systems since 2007. All models are good for homeowners looking for a budget-friendly water softener that will go the distance. And it comes in various sizes depending on your home’s needs.

Certified by NSF/ANSI 42 and 61, it is proven to remove the taste and smell of chlorine from water and filter out 99% of contaminants including heavy metals and lead. We also like it because it is easy to maintain, durable and available in stainless steel.

#1 – Novo Water Filtration Systems
Investing in a Novo water filtration system comes with many benefits. Not only will your home’s water taste and smell good, but there will be no mineral deposits on your pipes, washing machine or your water heater, for that matter – and that means your appliances will last longer. Novo also eliminates the need for replacement filters, and their systems are easy to install and maintain as well.
