How Whole-House Filtration Works

A whole-house, or point-of-entry, system is installed on the main water line. Water passes through one or more filtration stages before it is distributed to the rest of the plumbing.

A sediment stage captures sand, rust flakes and visible particles. A carbon stage reduces chlorine taste and odor along with other common municipal-water concerns. Additional stages can be added depending on what the water needs.

Because filtration happens before distribution, the system also helps protect downstream equipment such as softeners, water heaters and drinking water systems.

Filtration Configurations We Can Discuss

Filtration is selected around your water source and the specific concerns affecting the property.

Carbon Filtration

Sediment Filtration

Captures sand, silt, rust and other visible particles before they reach fixtures and equipment.

Multi-Stage Systems

Sediment and carbon stages combined for properties dealing with more than one concern.

Softener Combinations

Filtration paired with a water softener when hardness and scale are also present.

Well Water Filtration

Configurations built around iron, sulfur and sediment concerns common to private wells.

Cartridge & Media Service

Scheduled cartridge changes and media service to keep the system performing as intended.
