FAQ

Water Filtration Systems FAQ

Common questions about water filtration systems for your home. Tap a question to see the answer, or find your local PlumbingPro to have your water tested.

What types of water filtration systems are available?

Several water filtration systems are available for homes including whole house water filtration systems that treat all water entering your home, reverse osmosis systems for drinking water that remove up to 99 percent of contaminants, under sink filters for kitchen use, water softeners to remove hardness minerals, UV purification systems that kill bacteria and viruses, sediment filters for well water, and activated carbon filters that improve taste and odor. Each system addresses different water quality concerns.

How do I know which water filtration system I need?

Determining the right filtration system starts with understanding your water quality. We recommend professional water testing to identify specific contaminants, hardness levels, pH, chlorine, iron, sulfur, bacteria, and other issues. Based on test results, household size, water usage, budget, and your primary concerns like taste, odor, or health protection, we recommend the most effective and economical filtration solution for your needs.

How much does a water filtration system cost?

Water filtration system costs vary widely by type and capacity, and pricing varies by location. Basic under sink filters cost the least, reverse osmosis systems and water softeners cost more, and comprehensive whole house systems with multiple stages are the largest investment. Installation is additional. Your local PlumbingPro will recommend a system based on your water and give you a quote before work begins.

How often do water filtration systems need maintenance?

Maintenance frequency depends on the filtration system type. Standard carbon filters need replacement every 6 to 12 months, sediment filters every 3 to 6 months, reverse osmosis membranes every 2 to 3 years, UV bulbs annually, and water softener salt refills monthly. Whole house systems benefit from annual professional inspections. Many PlumbingPro locations offer maintenance plans that include scheduled filter changes, system checks, and reminders to keep your water quality consistently excellent.

What contaminants do water filtration systems remove?

Different filtration systems target specific contaminants. Carbon filters remove chlorine, volatile organic compounds, pesticides, and improve taste and odor. Reverse osmosis eliminates heavy metals like lead and mercury, fluoride, arsenic, nitrates, and dissolved solids. Water softeners remove calcium and magnesium that cause hardness. UV systems kill bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms. Sediment filters catch rust, sand, and particulates. Multi-stage systems provide comprehensive protection against multiple contaminant types.

Do water filtration systems waste water?

Most filtration systems use minimal water, but reverse osmosis systems do produce wastewater during the filtration process, typically 3 to 4 gallons of wastewater per gallon of purified water. Modern high efficiency RO systems reduce this ratio significantly. Whole house filters, carbon filters, and UV systems operate without generating wastewater. We can recommend water efficient options and explain the tradeoffs between filtration effectiveness and water conservation based on your priorities.
