Municipal water treatment removes dangerous pathogens, but your water still contains chlorine, chloramines, sediment, and potentially lead, VOCs, and other contaminants depending on your local water source and pipe infrastructure. A whole-home water filtration system treats all water entering your home, providing clean, filtered water from every faucet, shower, and appliance.
Got Plumbing USA connects you with licensed plumbers who install whole-home and point-of-use water filtration systems tailored to your water quality and household needs.
Filtration System Types
- Whole-home sediment filter — removes sand, silt, and particles. Basic but essential for well water and older municipal systems. $300–$800 installed.
- Whole-home carbon filter — removes chlorine, chloramines, VOCs, and improves taste/odor. The most popular residential system. $500–$2,000 installed.
- Whole-home multi-stage — combines sediment, carbon, and specialty media for comprehensive filtration. $1,500–$4,000 installed.
- Under-sink point-of-use — dedicated filtration for drinking water at a single faucet. $200–$600 installed.
Cost
Whole-home filtration systems cost $500–$4,000 installed depending on the type, capacity, and complexity. Annual filter replacements cost $50–$300. Under-sink systems are more affordable at $200–$600 installed with $30–$100 annual filter cost.
