Better Water Throughout Your Home

A whole-house water filtration system treats water as it enters your home, helping improve the water used throughout your plumbing system.

Depending on the type of filtration system selected, it may help reduce concerns such as:

• Chlorine taste and odor
• Sediment and particulates
• Unpleasant tastes or smells
• Certain impurities and contaminants
• Scale or mineral-related buildup when paired with the appropriate water treatment system

The right solution depends on your home’s water supply, plumbing system, and what you would specifically like to improve.

Water Filtration Options for Your Home

There is no single filtration system that is right for every household.

Colorado Green can help you determine which type of system makes sense for your water and goals.

Whole-House Water Filtration

Whole-house filtration treats water before it is distributed throughout your home.

Depending on the filtration media used, these systems may help improve taste and odor, reduce sediment, and address other specific water-quality concerns.

Whole-house filtration can be a good option for homeowners who want filtered water available throughout the home rather than at a single faucet.

Carbon Filtration

Activated carbon filtration is commonly used to reduce chlorine, unpleasant tastes and odors, and certain organic compounds.

Carbon filtration may be incorporated into either a whole-house treatment system or a drinking-water system, depending on the home's needs.

Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Systems

Reverse osmosis, commonly called RO, is generally used to provide highly filtered water at a specific drinking-water faucet.

An RO system uses a semi-permeable membrane along with additional filtration stages to reduce a wide range of dissolved substances.

These systems are commonly installed beneath a kitchen sink and provide filtered water primarily for drinking and cooking.

Whole-House Filtration vs. Reverse Osmosis

Whole-house filtration treats water as it enters your home, so filtered water can be available throughout the plumbing system.

Reverse osmosis typically treats water at a single location, such as your kitchen sink, and is designed primarily for drinking and cooking.

Some homeowners benefit from one system, while others choose a combination of whole-house filtration and point-of-use reverse osmosis.

We can help you determine which approach makes the most sense for your home.

Not Sure What Your Water Needs?

That is completely normal.

Water quality can vary from one neighborhood—or even one home—to another. Municipal water, well water, plumbing materials, and personal preferences can all affect which type of water treatment system makes sense.

Before recommending equipment, we look at what you are experiencing and what you want your system to accomplish.

Our goal is not to sell you the biggest or most complicated system available. It is to help you choose a practical solution for your home.

Signs You May Want to Consider Water Treatment

You may want to explore a water filtration or treatment system if you notice:

• Strong chlorine taste or odor
• Unpleasant-tasting drinking water
• Cloudiness or visible sediment
• Staining around plumbing fixtures
• Mineral or scale buildup
• Water spots on fixtures or glassware
• Frequent bottled-water purchases
• Concerns about the quality of your household drinking water

Different concerns require different types of treatment, which is why proper system selection is important.

Water treatment equipment works best when it is properly selected, sized, and installed.

Our licensed plumbers can evaluate your plumbing system, discuss what you would like to improve, and recommend appropriate options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a whole-house water filter the same as a water softener?

No. They address different water concerns.

A water filtration system is generally designed to remove specific substances, such as sediment, chlorine, odors, and other impurities, depending on the filtration media used.

A water softener is designed specifically to address hardness minerals such as calcium and magnesium.

Some homes benefit from filtration, some from softening, and others from both.

Does a whole-house filter provide filtered water at every faucet?

Yes. A properly installed whole-house filtration system treats water before it is distributed through the home's plumbing system.

Do I need both whole-house filtration and reverse osmosis?

Not necessarily.

Whole-house filtration treats water throughout the home, while reverse osmosis typically provides additional filtration at one drinking-water faucet.

The right setup depends on your water and what you want to accomplish.

How often do water filtration systems need maintenance?

Maintenance depends on the equipment, filtration media, and household water usage.

Filters and treatment media typically require periodic replacement or service. We can explain the recommended maintenance schedule for the specific system installed in your home.

Can you tell me which filtration system I need over the phone?

We can often discuss general options and learn more about your concerns by phone, but the best recommendation may require evaluating your home's water and plumbing setup.

Yes. Colorado Green serves homeowners throughout Erie, Longmont, Lafayette, Louisville, Frederick, Firestone, Niwot, Brighton, Boulder, and surrounding areas.
