A properly sized system has little effect on pressure. We size the equipment to your home's flow rate.

A whole home filter improves water everywhere. For the highest purity drinking water, many families add a reverse osmosis system at the kitchen sink.

Yes, but wells often need iron or sulfur removal too. We design well systems to handle everything together.

It depends on the filter type and your water. Typical schedules: sediment cartridges every 3–6 months, carbon cartridges every 6–12 months, reverse osmosis membranes every 2–5 years, UV lamps once a year, and softener salt checked monthly. We'll give you a schedule for your exact system.

It depends on the filter stages. Most systems reduce sediment, chlorine, chloramine, and many organic compounds that affect taste and odor. We match the stages to your water source.

No. Different technologies remove different things. Sediment filters catch sand, grit, and rust. Carbon filters remove chlorine, taste, odor, and some chemicals. Iron filters remove iron, manganese, and sulfur smell. UV systems inactivate bacteria and viruses but don't remove chemicals or minerals. Reverse osmosis reduces dissolved solids, many heavy metals, nitrates, fluoride, and PFAS. The best solution combines the right pieces for your water.
