Water Filtration — Installation & Replacement

Cleaner, better-tasting water—right at the source. We install and replace whole-house and point-of-use filtration that’s sized to your plumbing, water quality, and flow needs. A licensed plumber tests, designs, and installs a code-compliant system with simple maintenance.

When to consider filtration

• Chlorine taste or odor
• Sediment or discoloration
• Hard-water scale on fixtures
• Stains on laundry/fixtures
• Well water concerns (iron, sulfur, bacteria)

System options (we’ll help you choose)

• Whole-house sediment & carbon — traps sand/rust and reduces chlorine/odors for every tap.
• Water softener / scale control — traditional ion-exchange softeners or salt-free conditioners for reduced spotting and scale.
• Under-sink reverse osmosis (RO) — purified drinking/cooking water with dedicated faucet (ice maker option).
• UV disinfection — inactivates bacteria/virus on wells or when extra protection is desired.
• Iron/Manganese filters — specialty media for well water staining.
• Combo systems — carbon + softening/conditioning for taste and scale.

How we size it right

We check incoming pressure, flow rate (GPM), family size, and water tests (city report or basic on-site test; labs for wells as needed). Then we match media capacity, valve size, and drain requirements so the system won’t starve showers or appliances.

What “done right” includes

• Bypass & isolation valves for easy service
• Proper drains & air gaps (RO/softener backwash to code)
• Pressure regulation if needed; protect appliances and fixtures
• Neat plumbing & labeling so filters and tanks are simple to maintain
• Clean start-up & leak check, TDS/flow verification for RO

Installation process

1. On-site assessment — test water, verify pressure, space, drain route, and electrical (if needed).
2. Options & written pricing after the visit — whole-house vs. point-of-use, media/tank sizing, service interval.
3. Professional installation — set tanks or RO, plumb bypass, add drains/air gaps, strap and secure.
4. Commissioning — sanitize lines, program valves, flush media, verify flow and taste.
5. Handoff — simple filter schedule, how-to for bypass, and maintenance reminders.

Maintenance at a glance

• Sediment/carbon: change cartridges per usage or pressure drop.
• Softeners: keep salt at mid-tank; annual valve check.
• RO: pre/post filters 6–12 months; membrane 2–5 years.
• UV: annual lamp change, clean sleeve.

We can bundle service in VoltyxCare+ for filter changes and checks.
