Whole House Water Filter Installation in Houston
Houston uses chloramine to disinfect your water — and you can taste it. Our whole house filtration systems remove that pool smell and chemical taste from every tap in your home. Usually installed with a softener, starting at $3,850.
Why Houston Water Tastes Like a Pool
Houston switched from chlorine to chloramine for water disinfection years ago. Chloramine is more stable — it lasts longer in the pipes and does a better job keeping water safe as it travels to your home.
The tradeoff? It's harder to remove and has a stronger chemical taste.
If your water smells like a swimming pool, leaves your skin feeling dry, or just tastes "off" — chloramine is likely the culprit. And unlike chlorine, it doesn't evaporate if you let water sit out. The only way to remove it is filtration.
Chemical Taste & Smell
- Pool-like odor from every tap
- Unpleasant taste in drinking water, coffee, ice
Skin & Hair Irritation
- Can worsen eczema, dry skin, and sensitive skin conditions
- Strips natural oils from hair
Disinfection Byproducts
- Chloramine reacts with organic matter to form DBPs (TTHMs, HAA5)
- These show up on every Houston water quality report
Rubber & Appliance Degradation
- Chloramine degrades rubber seals and gaskets faster
- Can affect appliances and plumbing fixtures over time
How Whole House Filtration Works
A whole house water filter installs at your main water line — before water reaches any tap, shower, or appliance. Every drop of water in your home passes through the filter.
For chloramine removal, we use catalytic carbon filtration. Regular carbon filters work for chlorine, but chloramine requires the catalytic version — it's specifically designed to break the chloramine bond and remove it completely.
The result: clean, fresh-tasting water from every faucet. No more pool smell in your shower. No more chemical taste in your morning coffee.
Why Most Houston Homes Need Both
Here's the reality: Houston water has two problems.
- Hard water (calcium/magnesium) — causes scale, dry skin, appliance damage
- Chloramine — causes taste, odor, and potential irritation
A water softener fixes #1. A whole house filter fixes #2. Neither fixes both.
That's why our most popular package combines them:
| System | Removes Hard Water | Removes Chloramine | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Water Softener Only | $2,965+ | ||
| Whole House Filter Only | $2,965+ | ||
| Softener + Filter (Most Popular) | $3,850+ |
Already have a softener? We can add filtration to your existing system.
