Is purification the same as softening?

No. Filtration and purification generally address taste, odor, sediment and certain contaminants. A water softener specifically addresses hardness minerals. Some homes benefit from both.

Will it change my water pressure?

Equipment is sized for the home so that normal household flow is maintained. Sizing is part of the consultation.

Residential whole-house water purification system with blue filtration tanks installed in a clean home utility room

In short

Whole-house water purification treats water at the point where it enters your home, so the water delivered to every tap, shower, toilet, washing machine and water heater has already passed through the treatment system.

The Problem

The problem it addresses

Water can look perfectly clear and still carry characteristics that affect how it tastes, smells and behaves in your plumbing. Treating a single faucet leaves the rest of the home untouched.

Chlorine taste and odor from municipally supplied water
Hardness minerals that leave scale and spotting
Iron, manganese and sediment that stain fixtures and laundry
Sulfur or musty odors, most often on well supplies
Water that simply does not taste or feel the way you want it to

How whole-house purification works

A point-of-entry system is installed on the main water line. Water passes through one or more treatment stages before it is distributed through the house.

1Water enters the home through the main supply line
2Sediment pre-filtration captures visible particulate
3The primary media tank addresses the specific concerns found in your water
4Optional stages such as softening, UV or a drinking water system are added where appropriate
5Treated water is distributed to every fixture in the home

Potential benefits

✓Water treated before it reaches any fixture
✓Can help reduce chlorine taste and odor, depending on your water conditions
✓Can help reduce mineral buildup and staining on fixtures
✓A more consistent experience at the kitchen, bath, laundry and shower
✓Treatment matched to the concerns found in your specific supply

Results depend on your water conditions and the system selected.

Who may need it

Homeowners who notice taste, odor or staining issues
Homes on private well water
Homes on municipal water with noticeable chlorine
Anyone who wants treated water throughout the entire home rather than at one tap

Installation

Installation is performed at the main water line, typically in a basement, utility room, garage or mechanical space. Our goal is equipment that performs properly and also looks clean and professionally installed.

Maintenance considerations

Most systems require periodic filter or media service. Intervals depend on the equipment selected, household water use and the condition of your water. We review the expected maintenance with you before installation.
