Central Filter, Whole House Water Softener? What You Need to Know

Compared to point of use water filters installed on taps or each individual use point, some customers consider central water systems and like them more. They are not pre-filters that do almost nothing and do not need filter change, but instead, they will help treat the tap water pretty in-depth and need regular maintenance.


相比安装在水龙头或各个单独用水点的末端净水器,一些客户会更倾向于选择中央水处理系统,并且对这类方案更感兴趣。它们并不是那种几乎起不到太多作用、也不需要更换滤芯的简单前置过滤器,而是可以对进入家庭的自来水进行更深入的处理,同时也需要定期维护。

A whole-house water solution is usually installed at the main water entry point. It helps improve water used for showering, laundry, cleaning, and household appliances, instead of only treating one faucet. For homes with yellow water, sediment, hard water, or frequent scale build-up, it can be a practical way to improve daily water use from the source.


全屋净水软水方案通常安装在家庭总进水位置,不只是处理某一个水龙头,而是帮助改善淋浴、洗衣、清洁和家电用水。对于经常出现黄水、杂质沉淀、硬水或水垢明显的家庭来说,这是从源头改善日常用水体验的一种方式。

Many customers ask whether they need central water filters, central water softeners, or both. Filtration mainly helps reduce sediment, rust, visible particles, and some impurities. It focuses more on improving the basic cleanliness of household water. Softening mainly helps reduce water hardness and scale build-up. It can make water feel softer for showering, laundry, and cleaning. In many homes, filtration and softening work better together because they solve different problems.


很多客户会问:家里到底需要中央净水器、中央软水机,还是两个都需要?净水主要帮助减少泥沙、铁锈、可见颗粒物和部分杂质,更侧重提升生活用水的基础洁净度。软水主要帮助降低水的硬度,减少水垢问题,让淋浴、洗衣和清洁用水体验更加舒适。在很多家庭中,净水和软水搭配使用,效果会更完整。

Not exactly.


A whole-house system is mainly designed for daily household water, not direct drinking water. For drinking and cooking, a point-of-use purifier is still recommended. Greenwave offers drinking water purifier options such as Elavo and Alatai, available for purchase or rental.


不完全是。


全屋净水软水系统主要用于改善生活用水,并不等同于直饮水设备。如果是直接饮用或做饭用水,仍然建议搭配末端直饮水机。Greenwave提供Elavo和Alatai等直饮水净化方案,可选择购买或租赁。

Not always.


Installation depends on space, pipe access, drainage, water quality, and budget. Some homes are suitable for a full system, while others may only need a smaller filtration option or drinking water purifier.


不一定。


是否适合安装,需要根据空间、管路、排水、水质和预算来判断。有些家庭适合完整方案,有些家庭则可能只需要小型过滤设备或直饮水机。

Better water is not only about the glass of water you drink. Showering, laundry, cleaning, and appliance water also affect daily comfort. Greenwave can help check your home situation and recommend a suitable water solution.


更好的水,不只是喝进嘴里的那一杯。洗澡、洗衣、清洁和家电用水,同样影响每天的生活体验。Greenwave可以根据您家的实际情况,推荐更合适的用水方案。
