How is this different from a softener?
A softener removes hardness minerals. Whole-house filtration removes chlorine, sediment, taste, and odor. Many Tampa homes benefit from both, and we often install them together.

How it works
Simple, proven, professional
- 1
Identify the contaminants
Your free test shows what's in your water — chlorine, sediment, taste, and odor issues.
- 2
Multi-stage filtration
Water passes through carbon and sediment media that capture chlorine, particles, and odors before they reach any tap.
- 3
Clean water at every tap
Better water for drinking, bathing, cooking, and cleaning — whole-home, not just one faucet.

Whole-House Filtration: common questions
Will it lower my water pressure?
Properly sized filtration shouldn't noticeably affect pressure. We size every system to your home's flow rate.
How often are filters replaced?
It depends on your water and usage. We'll set expectations up front and can remind you when it's time.
Does whole-house filtration remove the chlorine in Tampa city water?
Yes. The carbon stage is designed to reduce the chlorine taste and pool-like smell that's common on Hillsborough and Pinellas city water. You'll notice the difference at every tap, not just the kitchen.
Do I still need a softener if I have whole-house filtration?
Usually, yes. Filtration tackles chlorine, sediment, taste, and odor, but it doesn't remove the hardness minerals that cause scale and spotting. In hard-water Tampa Bay, most homes get the best results pairing the two.
