A Whole House Filtration system delivers conditioned water to all areas of the home that would benefit from cleaner water. If your drinking water is filtered through a Brita, it is removing some % of the chlorine and other contaminants in the water. This will improve taste, however, its affect is limited due to a small surface area and contact time.
