What’s The Difference Between A Whole-home System And A Point-of-use Filter?
Pure water isn't just about what you drink—it's a foundational element that impacts every aspect of daily life. The Mountain View Pure Podcast tackles the critical decision homeowners face when considering water filtration: choosing between whole home systems and point-of-use solutions.
Most people default to point-of-use options like shower head filters or under-sink systems because they're thinking narrowly about drinking water. However, as we explore, this approach overlooks the comprehensive benefits of treating water at the point of entry. Chlorine that irritates your skin during showers, minerals that create stubborn soap scum, and contaminants that affect appliance performance—these issues demand a whole-home approach.
The financial aspect proves particularly compelling. While many view water treatment as an expense, it's actually an investment with measurable returns. Most homeowners already spend substantial amounts compensating for poor water quality—bottled water purchases, excessive cleaning products, expensive beauty products that merely mask hard water effects. A proper filtration system eliminates these ongoing costs, typically delivering complete ROI within five years. Quality whole-home systems with self-cleaning mechanisms can last 15-25 years, dramatically reducing waste and maintenance compared to disposable filters that require constant replacement.
Perhaps most surprising is how water quality affects personal care. That expensive salon shampoo? You might only need it because hard water minerals bond with soaps, creating residue that makes hair unmanageable. The moisturizers for dry skin? Often compensating for the effects of chlorinated, mineral-laden water. By addressing water quality at its source, you'll use fewer products while achieving better results—softer skin, healthier hair, and a cleaner home with less effort.

The mission is clear helpingyou get great water.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Choosing between a whole home system and a point of
use filter comes down to whatcontaminants you're targeting
and how much coverage you need.
Welcome back everyone.
Skip Monty, co-host slashproducer, back in the studio
with owner of Mountain View PureWater, dan Toth.
Dan, how's it going?
Doing well, skip, dan, great tobe back with you.
Homeowners have so many optionswhen it comes to water
(00:58):
filtration, and understandingthe differences between a whole
home system and a point of usesystem can make all the
difference.
So what is the differencebetween a whole home system and
a point of use system can makeall the difference.
So what is the differencebetween a point of use and a
point of entry, I'm sorry and awhole home system?
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Okay.
So most people are familiarwith a point of use system.
That would be a carbon filterthat they put on the shower head
, goes on the faucet, maybe areverse osmosis system, maybe it
would be a countertop systemthat they that they pour water
into and it filters for them.
So that's typically what peoplethink of when they think of
(01:38):
water treatment just for theirdrinking water or what they're
showering in.
And on the flip side, a pointof entry system typically
filters the water that comesinto the entire house.
So every faucet, every fixture,every appliance has this
filtered water.
If you have chlorine andchemicals, maybe you want carbon
(01:59):
filtration for the entire house.
If you have hard water, youwant a softener that softens for
the entire house.
My thought is, if you have aneed for ultraviolet, you want
the ultraviolet system to filterfor the whole house.
I don't want to be brushing myteeth or showering in water
that's contaminated because Ionly put the ultraviolet system
(02:21):
for the sink or for a reverseosmosis system.
So those are the sorts ofthings that we run into, that
people are not always sure ofwhat system I want to buy.
What system should I get for myfamily, because there's all
these different products and I'mnot sure what to buy, and they
typically will default to apoint of use system, because
(02:46):
they're only thinking about theconcern of what am I drinking or
what is pouring on me in theshower, and so that's typically
what people default to.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Well, what maintenance is required for each
type of system.
And, by the way I said point ofentry, that's right Point of
use.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
So what kind of maintenance is required for each
type of system?
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Okay.
So, oh, my goodness, this can goon for a long time, so I'll try
to keep it short.
Point of use systems a lot ofthe time, people have point of
use systems which are justbasically a carbon filter or
something like that.
They put on the shower head orthey put underneath the kitchen
sink that filters the water thatthey're actually using for
(03:31):
maybe cooking or or cleaningfruits and vegetables, things
like that.
Those systems are typicallythrowaway canisters and and then
you buy a new one.
You put your money out, you buya new one, you replace it and
then you use it and you buyanother new one and replace it
(03:52):
and use it, and so there's acertain amount of money that's
out of pocket every time youchange those out.
Well, something that's moreeffective is a system that would
clean itself.
So when we look at whole housesystems, I love to point people
to a system that is going to begood for 10, 15, 20, 25 years
(04:14):
because it is self-cleaning.
So you have think about maybeyou want to put a filter on your
whole home to remove thechlorine or bromine chemicals
and taste and odors from citywater.
You might look at a carbonfilter system that's, you know
two feet tall and the water foryour whole house goes in and
(04:36):
comes out of it and that systemmay take the chemicals, taste
and odor out for a year or two,but then you've got to replace
it.
Chemicals taste an odor out fora year or two, but then you've
got to replace it.
If I instead put in a systemthat was twice or three times
the size of that and it also hadan automatic backwash or
automatic cleaning cycle, thatmight last 15 years to do the
(05:00):
same job.
So those are the sorts ofthings that I try to encourage
people to do is make sure thatyou can get the most out of what
you've paid for.
You know these are investmentsthat we typically think of as
expenses, but I love to tellpeople a water treatment system
for your home whether it's adrinking water system reverse
(05:21):
osmosis, or it's a drinkingwater system reverse osmosis, or
it's a whole house system thatsoftens the water these are two
investments that literally willsave you money and you can
expect a return on investment, afull ROI within about five
years of either one of these inyour home, because you're
currently spending money onother filtration or bottled
(05:44):
water or extra soaps andcleaning products in your home,
and so there's an amount ofmoney that you're spending
currently because of the waterquality that's coming into your
house, whether you're on city orwell water, and having the
right kind of filtrationequipment, softening equipment
as your point of entry into thehome, and having drinking water
(06:06):
equipment which is your point ofuse for cooking, for all the
water that you drink, for evenrinsing fruits and vegetables,
because we have a lot ofchemicals on stuff that we buy
from the store these days and sorinsing it with a higher
quality of water rinses more ofthat junk off.
Those sorts of things areexpenses that we have to endure
(06:29):
because we're already payingsomething.
We're either buying extra soapsand cleaning products because
of the poor water quality, orwe're buying bottled water
because we can't stand to putthe water that comes out of the
faucet to our mouth, and sothose sorts of things.
We've already changed ourbuying habits to account for the
(06:49):
poor water quality.
Well, having a water treatmentsystem in the home allows you to
have better quality water at aninvestment up front.
So over time, that investmentwill pay for itself in the
savings that you experience, andit's a much better way to go,
(07:09):
because what's your solution tobuying bottled water?
When are you going to stopbuying bottled water?
And if they continue to raisethe price?
Or someone like Nestle orCoca-Cola, who literally owns
water rights in multiplecountries around the world?
What if they say oh, now youhave to pay more for water and
(07:31):
you don't have a better solutionthan to continue to buy their
product?
There's also the microplasticsthat we know are in those, and
often the water doesn't actuallyhave the standard of quality
that we want to be drinking.
So having a point of use systemin our home is really the best
method to solve this riddle ofhow do I stop paying for
(07:51):
somebody else's bottled water.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Yeah, we don't want to get into the microplastics.
That's scary.
That's another scary thing.
So I was going to ask you aboutthe cost differences between
the two.
I would imagine the differencebetween having multiple point of
use filters is going to be moreexpensive than a whole home
system, because you're buyingfilters for every point of use.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Yeah, it does seem like having multiple filters
replaced endlessly would be moreexpensive than having a
centralized system where all thewater that comes into the house
is filtered and then goes toevery point of use.
So having a whole house systemor a point of entry system, in
the long run, when you thinkabout waste products or wasted
(08:38):
containers and filters and justmechanisms that you use them and
then you throw them away,that's a lot of waste and it's
expense and it's maintenance.
So is your time valuable?
Yes, you don't want to domaintenance all the time, and so
having a point of use sorry, apoint of entry system that
treats all the water in thehouse is a huge benefit because
(09:01):
those systems can run fordecades without needing
maintenance.
I know that the systems that weprovide have up to a 25-year
warranty, and so when youprovide a warranty like that,
the thing just it's expected towork.
And so having a whole homesystem that filters out chlorine
(09:23):
, taste, odors, chemicals itfilters out chlorine, taste,
odors, chemicals, heavy metals,lead, hardness, minerals, things
that cause your home to bedirty, cause smells and odors
when you shower that taste badAll that stuff can be removed by
(09:43):
a single product at the pointof entry to your home, and so
then all of the points of use ofyour faucets and fixtures are
all filtered at the same time.
And then, if you want to, youcan take a system like that and
add to it a point-of-use systemlike a reverse osmosis, where it
removes vastly morecontaminants than the
point-of-entry system is able toremove and that gives you
(10:07):
really pristine drinking waterthat tastes great for your whole
family, and you know that thecontaminants like herbicides,
pesticides, fluoride,pharmaceuticals, heavy metals,
all those things are actuallyremoved from that water.
So you know that you're gettinga pure source of water for your
(10:28):
home and your family.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Wow, and this is backing up a little bit, but I'm
sure I know the answer to thisquestion.
I know, you know, I've lived inplaces, in apartments, when I
was younger and had city water.
Now you're drinking out ofglass.
Yes, sir.
Okay, I just want to make sure,just checking.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Reverse osmosis water from home.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
There you go, there you go.
But a lot of times when youhave city water you know there's
a lot of chlorine in that waterand it it it can be an irritant
in the shower, Like it's justkind of whole home system.
Eliminate that.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Yes, absolutely.
Can a whole home systemeliminate that?
Yes, absolutely.
In fact, a lot of people havegone to the route of the shower
filters and they might have likea vitamin C in them which can,
you know, energize you.
It can have different chemicalsand filters in there to remove
things from the water and so alot of people go that route.
(11:24):
Because you can probably pick upone of these filter shower
filters for I don't know, 20bucks, 30 bucks, maybe even less
, and for four to six months youhave you know what feels like
great water or what smellsbetter at least.
But if you have that system onyour whole house, every shower
(11:45):
in the house is now filtered andYou've removed not only the
chemicals and bad odor from thewater but you can also soften it
.
So when you're in that showeryou can save money on soaps and
cleaning soaps products andconditioners and shampoos and
things like that.
You use a whole lot less whenyou have softened water.
(12:07):
There's a real creature comfortbenefit to having whole house
filtration over just the filteron the shower head, because that
doesn't typically soften thewater when you have just a point
of use filter.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Point of entry.
You can soften all the water inthe house and it really
provides an excellent to thebody of cleanliness and soft
skin and hair.
It's amazing when you go from awater system that is not a
whole home system or a UVtreated to one that is, and it's
amazing, the difference in howthe water feels actually feels
like you just mentioned, likeyou can actually tell a
difference that how it feels onyour skin well, and there's a
reality that the minerals thatare left in the water if you
(12:59):
don't soften the water, thoseminerals bond with the soaps
that you use to form soap scumor soap curd, and that soap scum
is stuck.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
You can probably see it if you have a glass shower or
when you wash your dishes inthe dishwasher.
If you don't use a jet dryer orsomething to remove that, you
see the buildup on your dishesand so that's soap bonded with
the mineral, the leftoverhardness that's in the water.
So if you remove that hardness,you don't any longer have that
(13:33):
soap scum.
And that soap scum besidesbeing on the things that we can
see their glass, it's also inour clothing, it's also on our
skin, it's also in your hair.
Ladies know this because that'swhy they have these extra
cleaners, cleaning shampoos toremove that stuff, because it
builds up in their hair andmakes it unmanageable.
And so these are sorts ofthings that I wish every
(14:00):
hairstylist understood aboutsoft water.
They'd be sending people to meall the time because so many
people buy very expensive salonshampoos and conditioners that
are very expensive.
It could cost $50 to $100 amonth for some ladies to buy
these products and for that sameamount of money, they could
have all the water in their homefiltered and treated, and then
(14:20):
they could buy less of theproduct.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Well, with good water , I imagine.
I've always heard my wife usedto tell me it only takes a dime
size of shampoo if the water'sgood, but if it's really hard
water you got to use a bucketfull.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
That's correct.
That's correct.
You fill up your whole hand andthen maybe go for seconds.
But people are used to that andI think that's one of the
reasons that they neglect tolook into this issue is we grow
up and we're just used to usingall this extra soap and cleaning
products.
We're just used to puttingconditioners on our skin because
(15:00):
the skin is dry and cracking.
We're just used to buying asalon product instead of some
cheaper product line because ithas other softeners and
conditioners in that salonproduct that compensates for the
poor water quality.
But if we were to look intofixing the water quality instead
(15:21):
of spending more money onproducts, we would be much
happier, healthier and safer,because all of those things that
are put in these salon productsand high-end soaps and cleaning
products, they're harshchemicals and that's not good
for us, because whatever you puton your skin gets into your
body and it's better to removecontaminants from the water than
(15:47):
to add more to cover it up.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Great note to end on man.
Choosing the right filtrationsystem can feel overwhelming,
but you've laid it out prettyclearly for me in the last
couple of episodes what canhappen if you don't do this.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
So thanks again for sharing your expertise and we'll
try to get a word to all of you, I'm sorry go ahead.
Just one last thing.
If I didn't make it clear, Iwould definitely suggest both
whole home system, which is yourpoint of entry, and
purification system for yourdrinking water or your point of
use.
That is the best method to makesure that you remove
(16:25):
contaminants from your life.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Very good.
Well, we appreciate therecommendation and we'll see
what we can do to get the wordout from the podcast to all the
beauticians and the Tri-Citieson hey send more folks this way,
absolutely All right, dan.
You have a great one man.
We'll see you in the nextepisode.
Thanks, kip.
Have a great day you too.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
Well, what maintenance is required for each

And, by the way I said point ofentry, that's right Point of

Speaker 3 (03:04):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
So what kind of maintenance is required for each
type of system?
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Okay.
So, oh, my goodness, this can goon for a long time, so I'll try
to keep it short.
Point of use systems a lot ofthe time, people have point of

Speaker 2 (07:54):
Yeah, we don't want to get into the microplastics.

That's another scary thing.
So I was going to ask you aboutthe cost differences between

I would imagine the differencebetween having multiple point of

I know that the systems that weprovide have up to a 25-year

the thing just it's expected towork.
And so having a whole homesystem that filters out chlorine
(09:23):
, taste, odors, chemicals itfilters out chlorine, taste,
odors, chemicals, heavy metals,lead, hardness, minerals, things
that cause your home to bedirty, cause smells and odors

Speaker 2 (10:30):
Wow, and this is backing up a little bit, but I'm
sure I know the answer to thisquestion.
I know, you know, I've lived inplaces, in apartments, when I
was younger and had city water.
Now you're drinking out ofglass.
Yes, sir.
Okay, I just want to make sure,just checking.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Reverse osmosis water from home.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
There you go, there you go.
But a lot of times when youhave city water you know there's
a lot of chlorine in that waterand it it it can be an irritant

(11:24):
Because you can probably pick upone of these filter shower
filters for I don't know, 20bucks, 30 bucks, maybe even less
, and for four to six months youhave you know what feels like
great water or what smellsbetter at least.
But if you have that system onyour whole house, every shower
(11:45):
in the house is now filtered andYou've removed not only the
chemicals and bad odor from thewater but you can also soften it
.
So when you're in that showeryou can save money on soaps and
cleaning soaps products andconditioners and shampoos and
things like that.
You use a whole lot less whenyou have softened water.
(12:07):
There's a real creature comfortbenefit to having whole house
filtration over just the filteron the shower head, because that
doesn't typically soften thewater when you have just a point
of use filter.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Point of entry.
You can soften all the water inthe house and it really
provides an excellent to thebody of cleanliness and soft
skin and hair.
It's amazing when you go from awater system that is not a
whole home system or a UVtreated to one that is, and it's
amazing, the difference in howthe water feels actually feels
like you just mentioned, likeyou can actually tell a
difference that how it feels onyour skin well, and there's a
reality that the minerals thatare left in the water if you
(12:59):
don't soften the water, thoseminerals bond with the soaps
that you use to form soap scumor soap curd, and that soap scum
is stuck.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
You can probably see it if you have a glass shower or
when you wash your dishes inthe dishwasher.
If you don't use a jet dryer orsomething to remove that, you
see the buildup on your dishesand so that's soap bonded with
the mineral, the leftoverhardness that's in the water.
So if you remove that hardness,you don't any longer have that
(13:33):
soap scum.
And that soap scum besidesbeing on the things that we can
see their glass, it's also inour clothing, it's also on our
skin, it's also in your hair.
Ladies know this because that'swhy they have these extra
cleaners, cleaning shampoos toremove that stuff, because it
builds up in their hair andmakes it unmanageable.
And so these are sorts ofthings that I wish every
(14:00):
hairstylist understood aboutsoft water.
They'd be sending people to meall the time because so many
people buy very expensive salonshampoos and conditioners that
are very expensive.
It could cost $50 to $100 amonth for some ladies to buy
these products and for that sameamount of money, they could
have all the water in their homefiltered and treated, and then
(14:20):
they could buy less of theproduct.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Well, with good water , I imagine.
I've always heard my wife usedto tell me it only takes a dime
size of shampoo if the water'sgood, but if it's really hard
water you got to use a bucketfull.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
That's correct.
That's correct.
You fill up your whole hand andthen maybe go for seconds.
But people are used to that andI think that's one of the
reasons that they neglect tolook into this issue is we grow
up and we're just used to usingall this extra soap and cleaning
products.
We're just used to puttingconditioners on our skin because
(15:00):
the skin is dry and cracking.
We're just used to buying asalon product instead of some
cheaper product line because ithas other softeners and
conditioners in that salonproduct that compensates for the
poor water quality.
But if we were to look intofixing the water quality instead
(15:21):
of spending more money onproducts, we would be much
happier, healthier and safer,because all of those things that
are put in these salon productsand high-end soaps and cleaning
products, they're harshchemicals and that's not good
for us, because whatever you puton your skin gets into your
body and it's better to removecontaminants from the water than
(15:47):
to add more to cover it up.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Great note to end on man.
Choosing the right filtrationsystem can feel overwhelming,
but you've laid it out prettyclearly for me in the last
couple of episodes what canhappen if you don't do this.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
So thanks again for sharing your expertise and we'll
try to get a word to all of you, I'm sorry go ahead.
Just one last thing.
If I didn't make it clear, Iwould definitely suggest both
whole home system, which is yourpoint of entry, and
purification system for yourdrinking water or your point of
use.
That is the best method to makesure that you remove
(16:25):
contaminants from your life.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Very good.
Well, we appreciate therecommendation and we'll see
what we can do to get the wordout from the podcast to all the
