Whole House Water Filtration in Orange County, CA
Get cleaner, fresher water from every tap, faucet, shower, toilet, and appliance (like washing machines and dishwashers) by installing a home water filtration system.
What is a Whole House Water Filtration System?
A whole house filtration system is a system that treats all of the water that runs through your home from the main water line. It works to treat all water in a home by remove contaminants including dirt, rust, clay and debris, and chemicals such chlorine, chloramine, bacteria and pesticides. The results are fresh and clean water through your faucets and appliances.
With a whole house water filtration system, you’ll enjoy healthy, odor-free and chemical-free water throughout your home for drinking, bathing, washing clothes, and dishes. Some of the benefits of a whole house filtration system include:
- Clean, better-tasting drinking water from every fixture
- Removal of chlorine and chloramines from water
- Healthier skin and less skin irritation with reduced chlorine in bathing water
- Reduces unsightly hard water stains throughout your home
- Low maintenance system: no maintenance required for 10+ years
- And more!
Do I Need a Whole House Filtration System?
While municipal water does go through filtration processes before flowing through your home’s pipes, it often still contains some of the chemicals that were used in the cleansing process. The most common chemicals found in municipal water are chlorine, chloramine and fluorine, but trace amounts of many other elements including arsenic, lead, mercury, hormones, nitrates, and even pesticides can be found in the water.
A whole house water filtration system can solve these issues by providing pure filtered water for every faucet in your home. This filter system will remove these harmful and unhealthy chemicals, bacteria, metals, and other contaminants, and provide water that is safer to use and better for your health.
Single Faucet Water Filtration
Along with whole house filtration systems, we also provide single faucet (point-of-use) water filtration. Single faucet filtration systems can be used on their own or paired with our H2O filtration system for additional filtration. These systems can be tucked neatly under your sink and are very low maintenance. Our technicians can easily connect one of our single faucet water filtration systems to your faucet of choice for easy access to great-tasting, chemical-free water.
Whole House Water Softener Systems
Are you frustrated by the spots left by the water in your home or office? Residue accumulating near a faucet? If so, you may have hard water.
A water softener is an incredible device that removes particles such as calcium or magnesium ions, which make the water “hard” and can be harmful to your pipes and plumbing system, and they also tend to leave spots on your dishes. The water softener, when installed properly, will then remove such particles and replace them with potassium or sodium ions. The result is “soft” water that tastes and feels incredible. Plus, it can prolong the life of your appliances.
About Orange County Water
Orange County tap water meets or exceeds all federal and state safety standards, according to annual Consumer Confidence Reports from water districts like OCWD, IRWD, and MWD. However, it can still have disinfectants, disinfection byproducts, and contaminants that can change the taste, smell, health of skin and hair, the life of appliances, and the plumbing. Many water districts, especially those that mix local groundwater with water from the Metropolitan Water District, use chloramines (a mix of chlorine and ammonia) to kill germs. This can make the water taste or smell like chlorine, and it can dry out and irritate skin and hair during showers by taking away natural oils.
Also, PFAS (“forever chemicals”) have been found in groundwater wells all over north and central Orange County. This affects cities like Anaheim, Fullerton, Garden Grove, Orange, Santa Ana, Tustin, and Yorba Linda, CA, as well as areas served by the Irvine Ranch Water District (Irvine, Lake Forest, and parts of Newport Beach, Tustin, Costa Mesa, Orange, and Santa Ana, CA).
Whole House Water Filtration Repairs & Maintenance
To ensure that you are always receiving fresh, clean water, it’s important to perform regular maintenance to your whole house filtration system. If regular maintenance isn’t done, the filter will eventually become so clogged with sediments or chemicals that it can no longer filter harmful materials out of the water. Fortunately, maintaining your filtration system isn’t a lot of work.
The filters in your filtration system must be regularly changed. To maintain your filtration system, change the filter when necessary. Most filters unlock, unscrew, or pull out very easily, so it shouldn’t be difficult to change them. Remember to turn off the water valves before beginning maintenance to ensure that no impure water gets into the system during maintenance.
Although regular maintenance and repairs can be done by the homeowner, we also recommend routine maintenance to be done by a plumbing professional. These professionals can ensure that the system is functioning efficiently, that pipes are remaining clean and that correct filters are being used.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do water filtration systems protect against hard water?
No, that is the role of a water softener to remove minerals such as calcium and magnesium from hard water that causes scale buildup in water heaters, pipes, faucets and appliances.
What is the difference between water softener and water filtration systems?
Water filters remove particles, sediment and chemicals resulting in cleaner water that improves taste and odor. Water softeners remove minerals from hard water and prevents limescale buildup in pipes, plumbing fixtures and appliances.
What is the difference between whole home water filtration system and a point-of-use filter?
A whole home solution is installed at the main water line and treats all water going into the home while a point-of-use filter treats only water at one location, such as a separate tap for drinking water on the kitchen countertop.
What are PFAS (“Forever Chemicals”)?
These are man-made chemicals that don’t break down easily, build up in water and according to the EPA scientific studies have shown links linked to health issues.
Can mold grow in a water filter?
Yes, lack of maintenance or use can cause a water filter to develop.
Will a water filtration system prevent pink water stains in sinks and toilets?
No, a water filtration system won’t stop those pink stains that sometimes appear in sinks and toilets. The pink bacteria, generally harmless, travels through the air, not through water. It thrives on soap scum, leftover shampoo, and fatty substances found in moist environments like sinks and toilets. Reducing moisture and cleaning regularly with bleach are the best ways to prevent it.
