Actually is is not such as bad thing to filter your whole house...saves
appliacnes like washers, dishwashers and ice makers. Removes VOCs from the
water which you would otherwise absorb through skin and lungs while
showering. You should put nothing on your skin which you would not put into
your mouth, because skin is actually quite permeable (which is why
transdermal medicated patches are effective.) Also good to filter your
outdoor water, chlorine and VOCs kill the bacteria needed for healthy soil
and plants. Though you might not bother with this if your water comes from a
well.
