People building a new house consider a whole house water filter as an option when they are building a new house. They have to factor this cost in and sometimes opt for not putting the water filter in while the rough construction is taking place or want to wait until they are in the house and plan to add the feature later. They do this because they consider the added costs of a filter and when reducing costs in the home this is one thing they usually remove.
1. Consider instead of having the expensive granite counter top in the kitchen or bathroom you can scale down a bit to compensate for the cost of the house water filter.

2. Your faucets and pipes will benefit from installing it early to avoid build up of debris, hard water and bacteria accumulating in the pipes. If you plan to install a filter later the bacteria from the regular tap water breeding within the pipes can be bad. If you add a filter later that bacteria will still be there in the pipes so it will not necessarily help to filter as it comes into your house because the pipes have been coated with contaminants which will attach to the water as it passes by through the tubing.
3. You will use less detergents and soap.
4. You will not have to buy bottled water and can just fill bottles from your faucet as it will already be filtered.
5. You may have to replace your hot water heater less. People who have no house water filter will have to replace their hot water heater sooner due to hard water debris filling up the heater and eventually clogging it to the point of not working.
If you are building a house a whole house water filter may be a great option with a little extra planning to work in your budget.
