Whole-House Water Filtration Systems for Total Home Protection
A whole-home water filter is installed where the main line enters your house. It treats the water before it reaches your faucets, showers, and appliances. Depending on your water quality, the system may include a sediment filter for grit and a carbon filter for unwanted tastes and odors. Removing grit at the main line can also help protect plumbing fixtures and appliances, including your water heater. In our area, a gas tank-style water heater typically lasts about 8 to 14 years, depending on water quality and maintenance.
Standard sediment and carbon filters do not remove the calcium and magnesium responsible for hard water scale. If your water has high mineral levels, our water conditioning options can work alongside filtration. Filter cartridges also need periodic replacement to maintain effective treatment.
Under-Sink Reverse Osmosis (RO) Systems
An under-sink reverse osmosis system provides additional water purification at a single tap, usually the kitchen sink. Water passes through prefilters and then a fine membrane that reduces many dissolved substances. The treated water collects in a storage tank and flows from a dedicated faucet for drinking and cooking. RO systems also send some water to the drain during treatment. Regularly replacing prefilters and membranes helps maintain the system’s performance.
You can combine an RO unit with whole-home filtration when your drinking water needs extra attention. The whole-home water filter serves your household plumbing, while the RO unit treats water at the kitchen sink. We review your water test results to help you decide whether you need one system or both.
