Whole House Water Filtration Near Me
Starting price: Call for pricing
One filter at the kitchen tap cannot fix chlorine, sediment, and odor at every faucet. Plumbing Services Pros installs a whole house filtration system on your main water line so every tap, shower, and appliance gets cleaner, better-tasting water. To treat the water for your entire home at once, call (833) 513-2401.
What whole house filtration is
A whole house water filtration system treats water at the single point where it enters your home, before it splits off to the kitchen, bathrooms, laundry, and water heater. Instead of a small filter under one sink, one properly sized system cleans the water for every tap, every shower, and every appliance at once.
Plumbing Services Pros installs these systems on the main water line with a bypass valve, so the house still gets water during filter changes. The system itself is usually a tall tank or a set of large filter housings mounted in the garage or utility room, chosen and staged for what your water actually contains.
What it actually removes
Most systems work in stages, each one doing a different job. A sediment pre-filter comes first, catching rust, sand, silt, and grit so they cannot clog the finer stages behind it. Then activated carbon takes on chlorine and chloramines, along with the tastes, odors, and many of the chemicals they bring.
- Rust, sand, silt, and grit from the supply lines
- Chlorine and chloramine taste and smell
- Musty or earthy odors in tap water
- Fine sediment that clouds water and wears out fixtures
- Many volatile organic compounds, depending on the media
Specialized media can target additional concerns, and some setups pair filtration with a softener or UV stage. The water test before the install decides which stages earn their place.
How the system and the install work
You call (833) 513-2401 and describe what is bothering you about the water: taste, smell, sediment, staining, or all of the above. A plumber tests the water on site, checks the main line location and the household flow needs, and recommends a stage combination that fits. No guesswork, no one-size-fits-all box.
On install day the water is shut off, the main line is cut, and the system goes in with a bypass valve and solid connections. The plumber flushes the new media, checks for leaks, runs water at several fixtures to confirm flow, and walks you through the filter change schedule. You will know which filter gets changed when, and what to watch for in between.
What affects the cost
The number and type of stages matter most. A sediment pre-filter plus carbon setup is the common baseline; adding specialized media for particular contaminants raises both equipment and install complexity. Flow capacity counts too, since a larger household needs a bigger system to avoid pressure drop.
Water quality itself plays a part. Heavily sediment-laden water may need a larger pre-filter or more frequent changes, which the plumber factors in. Access to the main line rounds it out. For an exact figure based on your water and your home, call (833) 513-2401.
Whole house vs. point-of-use filters
Pitcher filters and under-sink units have their place, but they only treat water at one spot. The shower still smells like chlorine, the laundry still gets sediment, and the water heater still collects grit. A whole house system treats the water once, upstream of everything, so every outlet benefits.
Maintenance is simpler too. Instead of tracking cartridges at half a dozen faucets, there is one system with one schedule. The upfront job is bigger, but the coverage and the simplicity are the reason most homeowners who try point-of-use filters eventually move up.

Frequently asked questions
What does a whole house filter actually remove?
It depends on the media inside, but a typical multi-stage system handles sediment, chlorine and chloramines, the tastes and odors they cause, and many common chemicals. The pre-filter catches rust, sand, and grit, while carbon stages handle taste, odor, and chlorine. Your water test determines which stages your home needs.
Is whole house filtration the same as a water softener?
No, they solve different problems. A softener removes hardness minerals like calcium and magnesium through ion exchange. A filtration system removes chlorine, sediment, taste, and odor. Many homes with hard, chlorinated water end up with both, each doing its own job.
Where is the system installed?
On the main water line where it enters the house, usually in the garage or utility room. That single point of entry means one system treats the water before it splits off to the kitchen, bathrooms, laundry, and water heater. A bypass valve goes in so water still flows during filter changes.
How often do the filters need changing?
It depends on the stage and your water. Sediment pre-filters clog fastest and get changed most often, while carbon media lasts longer. Your plumber sets a schedule based on your water quality and household usage, and shows you how to tell when a filter is due.
Will a whole house filter lower my water pressure?
A correctly sized system causes very little pressure drop. Problems start when a system is undersized for the household flow or when filters go unchanged and clog. Sizing the system to your home's flow rate during the install prevents that.
What affects the cost of installation?
The number of filtration stages, the system's flow capacity, your water quality, and how easy the main line is to reach. A simple sediment plus carbon setup is a different job from a multi-stage system with specialized media. Call (833) 513-2401 for an exact figure after a water test.
