Home / Services / Whole-Home Filtration

Whole-home filtration, treating every tap.

One system on the main line rather than one fixture, so showers, laundry and the water heater get the same treated water as the kitchen.

Whether a Waco or McLennan County home needs this depends on which system serves it. Waco delivers surface water from Lake Waco disinfected with chloramine, which averaged 2.81 ppm across 2025, with calcium of 44.9 to 45.7 mg/L and magnesium of 4.23 to 4.25 mg/L. Woodway is a different picture again: Trinity Aquifer wells reporting average total hardness of 66.46 mg/L as CaCO3 and average sodium of 185.93 mg/L.

What the stages do

A whole-home setup sits on the main line where it enters the house, ahead of the water heater:

  • Carbon filtration works on chlorine or chloramine and the by-products of municipal disinfection, a common cause of taste and odor complaints on a municipal supply.
  • Softening works on the calcium and magnesium that leave scale on fixtures and inside a water heater.
  • Sizing follows the assessment, because a Waco house and a Woodway house are not starting from the same water.
Not every house here needs softening. Woodway's reported average total hardness is 66.46 mg/L as CaCO3, which is low, while its average sodium is 185.93 mg/L against Waco's 16.0 to 17.9. The assumption that Texas well-fed water is always hard does not hold up in this county.

What it costs

Pricing follows the assessment, because the right system depends on what your water report says and on how your house is plumbed. You get the figure before any work starts, never after. Flexible financing available, no credit check.

How it gets installed

The system is connected at the main line, usually a utility room or garage job. If your house turns out to be a harder setup than it looked, you hear the adjusted number before anyone starts, not once the work is underway.

Keeping it running

A softener needs salt kept topped up and checked every few months. Reverse osmosis filters get swapped on a schedule. We will walk you through what your setup needs and what it costs to run before you decide anything.
