Whole Home Water Filtration Systems
in Lynchburg, VA

Why Choose a Whole House Water Filtration System?

Unlike basic pitcher filters or countertop water dispensers, whole house water filtration systems are designed to treat all the water entering your home, right at the point of entry. That means every drop of water from your kitchen sink to your washing machine is filtered before it reaches you.

These systems can target a wide range of common water issues, including chlorine, silt, sand, rust, sulfur, and even bacteria or viruses. Some advanced models incorporate reverse osmosis membranes, carbon filters, or ultraviolet light to eliminate contaminants like lead, arsenic, mercury, and manganese. Whether you’re worried about staining, odors, or health hazards, these systems provide comprehensive protection and peace of mind.

Types of Home Water Filtration Systems

Options include systems that feature:

• Activated Carbon Filters: Ideal for removing chlorine, odor, and organic compounds.
• Sediment Filters: Designed to capture sand, rust, and other particles.
• Reverse Osmosis Units: Highly effective at removing dissolved solids, salts, fluoride, and heavy metals.
• Ultraviolet Sterilization: Destroys bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms in your water.
• Ion Exchange Units: Perfect for water softening and reducing calcium and magnesium.

What’s in Your Tap Water?

Local homeowners sometimes ask our water quality experts: “Why does my water taste funny?” or “What’s that smell coming from the tap?” The answer usually lies in what’s floating around in your water supply. Chlorine is frequently used in municipal treatment facilities to disinfect water, but it can leave behind an unpleasant taste and smell. Iron and hydrogen sulfide can produce rust stains and that rotten egg odor in your bathroom or kitchen. Heavy metals like copper, chromium, and nickel can cause long-term health concerns if left untreated.

Even well water systems can suffer from natural contamination or corrosion inside old pipes. Without a high-quality water filtration system, you may unknowingly be exposing your family to contaminants every time you fill a pot, take a bath, or rinse your dishes.
