In today’s health-conscious world, the quality of water flowing through your home matters more than ever. While many homeowners rely on point-of-use filters like pitcher filters or faucet attachments, these solutions only address water quality at specific locations. A whole house water filtration system offers a comprehensive approach to ensuring clean, safe water from every tap in your home. At Auger Pros Plumbing, we’ve seen firsthand how these systems transform the daily lives of our North Dallas-area customers.
A whole house water filter is installed at your home’s main water supply line, treating all water before it distributes throughout your house. Unlike individual filters that treat water at specific faucets, a whole house water filtration system ensures every drop of water from every tap—whether in your kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, or outdoor spigot—has been thoroughly filtered.
With a whole house water filtration system, you’re not just protecting the water you drink—you’re safeguarding all the water your family uses. From the shower water that touches your skin to the water you use for cooking, cleaning, and laundry, every drop is filtered to remove harmful contaminants.
Municipal water often contains chlorine and other chemicals that affect taste and smell. A quality whole house water filter removes these substances, resulting in better-tasting drinking water and improved flavor in beverages and food prepared with your home’s water.
Hard water minerals and sediment can damage appliances like water heaters, washing machines, and dishwashers. By installing a whole house water filtration system, you protect these expensive investments from scale buildup and corrosion, potentially adding years to their operational life.
Chlorine, heavy metals, and other water contaminants can dry out skin and hair, exacerbate skin conditions, and cause irritation. Filtered water from a whole house water filter is gentler on your body, potentially reducing issues like eczema flare-ups and leaving your skin and hair softer and healthier.
Unfiltered water containing minerals and sediment can gradually damage your home’s plumbing system, leading to clogs, corrosion, and costly repairs. A whole house water filtration system prevents these particles from entering your pipes, reducing maintenance needs and extending the life of your plumbing.
With clean, great-tasting water flowing from every tap in your home, you’ll likely reduce or eliminate the need for bottled water, decreasing plastic waste and your environmental footprint.
Depending on the system you choose, a whole house water filter can remove:
Carbon filters excel at removing chlorine, improving taste and odor, and filtering out certain chemicals. They’re a popular choice for city water supplies where chlorine treatment is common.
These systems primarily remove physical particles like dirt, sand, and rust from water. They’re often used as pre-filters for other filtration systems to prevent clogging.
Comprehensive but more expensive, reverse osmosis systems force water through a semipermeable membrane, removing up to 99% of contaminants including dissolved solids that other filters might miss.
While not technically filters, water softeners address hard water issues by removing calcium and magnesium minerals that cause scale buildup. They’re often paired with filtration systems for complete water treatment.
These systems use ultraviolet light to kill bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms without chemicals, making them an excellent addition to mechanical filtration.
Consider installing a whole house water filtration system if:
While DIY installation kits are available, professional installation ensures your whole house water filter performs optimally. Professional plumbers can:
Most whole house water filtration systems require regular maintenance to function properly. Depending on the system type and your water usage, filter replacements may be needed every 3-12 months. Some advanced systems include monitoring features that alert you when maintenance is required.
