Whole House Water Filtration

Clean, filtered water from every tap in your home. Whole house filtration removes chlorine, sediment, and chemicals before they reach your faucets, showers, and appliances.

What is Whole House Water Filtration?

A whole house water filtration system — also called a point-of-entry (POE) system — treats all water entering your home before it reaches any faucet, showerhead, or appliance. Unlike point-of-use filters that treat water at a single tap, whole house systems ensure every drop of water you drink, bathe in, cook with, and wash clothes in is filtered and clean. These systems typically use multi-stage filtration combining sediment filters, activated carbon blocks, and specialty media to remove chlorine, chloramines, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pesticides, herbicides, and sediment. Some advanced systems add UV sterilization for bacterial protection or KDF media for heavy metal reduction. Whole house filtration is especially valuable for homes on municipal water (to remove chlorine and disinfection byproducts) and homes with well water (to address sediment, iron, manganese, and sulfur). When paired with a water softener, a whole house filter provides comprehensive water treatment that protects both your health and your home.

Key Benefits

  • Filtered water from every tap — kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and outdoor spigots
  • Removes chlorine taste and odor from drinking water and showers
  • Reduces exposure to disinfection byproducts and volatile organic compounds
  • Protects skin and hair from chlorine damage during bathing
  • Extends the life of appliances by removing sediment and chemical deposits
  • Low maintenance — most systems only need filter changes every 3–12 months

Our Process

1

Water Quality Testing

Your water is tested to identify specific contaminants, sediment levels, chlorine concentration, and other issues. This determines which filtration media and how many stages are needed.

2

System Design

Based on test results, household size, and water flow requirements, a custom filtration solution is designed. Systems are sized to maintain adequate water pressure at peak demand (multiple showers running simultaneously).

3

Installation

The filtration system is installed on the main water line where it enters your home, typically after the water meter and before the water heater. This may include bypass valves, pressure gauges, and shut-off valves for easy maintenance.

4

Testing & Verification

Post-installation water testing confirms the system is removing target contaminants to safe levels. Flow rate is tested to ensure adequate water pressure throughout the home.

5

Maintenance Plan

You'll receive a filter replacement schedule and instructions. Most systems need sediment pre-filter changes every 3 months and carbon filter changes every 6–12 months.

Typical Cost

$1,000–$5,400

Factors That Affect Your Cost

  • Number of filtration stages and media types
  • Flow rate capacity (gallons per minute)
  • Specific contaminants being targeted
  • Brand and quality (Springwell, Pentair, Aquasana, US Water Systems)
  • UV sterilization or specialty media add-ons
  • Plumbing modifications required for installation
  • Ongoing filter replacement costs

Whole House Water Filtration FAQ

A water softener and whole house filter serve different purposes. Softeners remove hardness minerals; filters remove contaminants like chlorine, sediment, and chemicals. If your water is both hard and has taste/odor issues or contaminant concerns, you benefit from both. The filter should be installed before the softener to protect the softener resin from sediment and chlorine damage.
