Just contracted a home that has a pool and whole home water filtration system. Are most home inspectors knowledgeable about both items or should I be looking for someone more specialized in items as such?

@Terrill Cham most inspectors will have the basics, but will likely not do an in-depth inspection of either.
If the pool filters are running and there’s clean water in the pool, likely it’s doing fine.
If the water filters are enabled (not bypassed), at least the current owner isn’t aware of any issues. If you’re on a well, you should be sending a water sample for testing anyway. The problem with filtration systems is no one can really look at them and confirm they are still working as designed. You need to test the water to ensure they are extracting whatever bad stuff they were installed to remove.
