Whole-home filtration, the flagship system.

This is the system most Dallas Fort Worth homes need. It installs off your main water line so every faucet, shower, and appliance in the house gets better water. The North Texas Municipal Water District describes the treated water it supplies to Plano, Garland, Richardson, Frisco, Allen, Rowlett and Rockwall as moderately hard and uses chloramine as the disinfectant residual in that water, which is why the softening and carbon stages are usually both worth having on this supply.

What's actually in it

A single tank holds four media layers, with the control valve on top and the brine (salt) tank beside it:

• Carbon filtration removes chlorine and chemical by-products at the inlet, fixing taste and odor before water reaches the softening stage.
• Water softening removes the hardness minerals that leave scale on fixtures, glass, and the inside of your water heater.
• Support bed anchors the media layers in place.
• Pressure vessel contains all four layers under pressure and keeps them in the right order as water passes through.

What it costs

About $2,999 installed, taxes included, for a standard city-water home. We size the system to your supply first, then confirm the all-in number. Flexible financing available, no credit check.

How it gets installed

The system is connected at your main line. Most installs are straightforward utility room or garage jobs. If your home has a tougher setup, we tell you the adjusted price before any work starts, never after.

Maintenance is simple

Keep two to three bags of salt in the brine tank and check it every few months. The softener has no filters to change; it self-cleans during regeneration. The RO filters get swapped about once a year.
