Wellness Water Company – Since 1984, delivering pure, mineral-rich water to homes and families across America.
Water is the essence of life. But what if the water streaming into your home every day was silently making you sick? We usually think only about the water we drink. But what of the water we shower in, brush our teeth with, cook and clean with, and use to wash our clothes? What many people are not aware of is that carcinogenic substances don’t have to be ingested to enter the body; they can also be absorbed by inhaling or absorbing them through the skin.
And that’s where a point-of-entry water filter stops being something nice to have and becomes something that’s a necessity. Read on to learn how a whole-house point of entry water filtration system keeps the rest of your home—and loved ones—safe from unseen, harmful toxins.
What is a Point of Entry Water Filter?
You have a point-of-entry water filter at your house’s primary water line. That is, it treats all of the water that enters your home. While under-sink or faucet filters treat water in only one location, point-of-entry systems provide whole-house protection.
With such systems in place, every drop of the liquid you use — from your morning shower to your kitchen sink to your laundry — is purified. The result? A safer, healthier living environment.
The Hidden Danger Lurking in Your Shower
You may be saying to yourself, “I drink bottled water, I’m safe.” Think again. The 2025 Wellness Water Report revealed that chemicals in city tap water products, such as chlorine, fluoride, lead, pharmaceuticals, and plastics, are not only ingested when drinking, but also absorbed through the skin and inhaled as vapor when showering with hot water. Here’s what you need to know:
- Scalding showers also evaporate 50%–80% of chemicals in water.
- These vapors can be quickly inhaled, which means that toxins can bypass your digestive system and enter your bloodstream.
- Your skin, your body’s largest organ, absorbs toxins swiftly, especially when pores are open from warm water.
- Trihalomethanes (THMs) and chloramine species result from the reaction of chlorine with organics in water. These have been associated with the risk of cancer.
The bottom line? Without a shower head filter, you end up making your shower a gas chamber of poisonous gas that you inhale every single day.
Why These Toxins Are So Dangerous
Let’s take a look at what you would be exposed to — and what a point of entry water filter blocks from ever reaching you:
- Chlorine (Technetium): Introduced to prevent bacterial and viral outbreaks, chlorine has now become highly associated with health problems. Chlorine, for example, creates poisonous gases when it gets warm, which can irritate airways and may lead to asthma, bronchitis, and a few types of cancer.
- THMs: These are disinfection byproducts formed from chlorine and are classified as Group B carcinogens by the EPA. Studies have shown that long-term exposure can cause bladder and colon cancers.
- Fluoride: It is still in more than 70 percent of U.S. public water supplies, and it has been associated with thyroid problems, bone cancer, and lower IQ in children.
- Lead: A pinkish metal, lead is a common contaminant in aging pipes that can cause developmental problems in children and neurological harm in adults.
- Medications: Minute doses of mood stabilizers, antibacterials, and hormones have been detected in water systems. These can lead to lasting endocrine disruption, even in small amounts.
A point-of-entry water filter system will prevent all of them from entering your home at the start.
Why Filtration at the Point of Use Isn’t Enough
Many will buy water pitchers or filters mounted on the sink. But here’s the problem:
- They only treat drinking water — they can’t address water used for bathing, cooking, cleaning, or laundry.
- They don’t take any measures to prevent the inhalation of vaporized chemicals while showering.
- These filters do not eliminate all of the contaminants in water, particularly chlorine byproducts and microplastics.
On the other hand, whole-house point-of-entry water filter systems protect everyone in your home. You get clean water in:
- Showers and bathtubs
- Kitchen and bathroom sinks
- Dishwashers and washing machines
- Toilets and humidifiers
- Garden hoses and outdoor taps
This is full-spectrum protection.
Key Benefits of Installing a Point of Entry Water Filtration System
Selecting a point of entry water filter goes beyond avoiding harmful toxins—it’s about living better in several ways:
- Healthier Skin and Hair: Chlorine removes natural oils from skin and hair. Filtered water makes skin softer and hair more lustrous and manageable.
- Reduced Cancer Risk: Say “sayonara” to your chances for cancer when you are freed from THMs, chloramines, and volatile organic compounds.
- Better Breathing: Eliminate breathing in chemical vapors while showering. This is so great for kids and anyone who has allergies or asthma.
- Cleaner, Softer Clothes: Soft water cleans clothes more thoroughly and makes them last longer; It also prevents scale buildup by removing hard water deposits inside your washing machine.
- Huge Savings: No more buying bottles of water. Requires 75% less soap and detergents. Slash your energy bills with better hot water habits. Fewer repair and maintenance costs.
A point-of-entry water filtration system by Wellness Water can save the average family $200–$300 per month.
The Environmental Impact
More than 1.5 million tons of trash are generated annually from plastic water bottles. Nor do they provide safety — many contain microplastics and come from the same tainted sources as tap water. Point-of-entry water filters are sustainable:
- Eliminate dependence on bottled water
- Reduce household waste
- Prevent chemical buildup that can damage your heater and pipes
Safeguard your health as well as the health of the planet all at once.
