FAQs

What contaminants can a whole-house filtration system remove from Newport’s water supply?

Our professionally sized systems are designed to target the most common issues found in Newport’s municipal and private-well water: chlorine and chloramine used for disinfection, sediment and rust particles picked up in aging mains, hardness minerals (calcium and magnesium), disinfection by-products (THMs), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and emerging contaminants such as PFAS. Depending on the model you choose, additional specialty cartridges can be added to address elevated iron, sulfur odor, or microbiological cysts.

How does a whole-house system differ from a point-of-use filter like the one under my sink?

Point-of-use (POU) units treat water at a single tap, so only drinking and cooking water is filtered. A whole-house (point-of-entry) system is plumbed into the main supply line where it enters your home. Every fixture—showers, washing machine, outdoor spigots, and ice maker—receives conditioned water. This means better-tasting water, softer laundry, scale-free appliances, and reduced chlorine vapor in your showers, offering complete protection instead of spot treatment.

Will installing a whole-house filtration system reduce my water pressure?

When sized and installed correctly, pressure loss is barely noticeable—typically 2–4 psi. Our technicians calculate flow demand based on the number of bathrooms and peak usage in your Newport home and specify appropriately sized housings and media. High-flow bypass valves and 1-inch (or larger) porting are standard to maintain normal household pressure. If you already experience low pressure, we can pair the filter with a booster pump or suggest line upgrades.

What maintenance does the system require and how often?

Most systems use multi-stage media that last 6–10 years before a full replacement is needed. The sediment pre-filter cartridge should be changed every 6–12 months, depending on how much silt is in your supply. Carbon or catalytic media is typically replaced every 3–5 years to keep chlorine reduction at peak performance. We provide a simple maintenance calendar and can enroll you in our Newport service program, which includes annual testing, cartridge swaps, and performance checks.

How long does installation take and will my water be shut off for the whole day?

A standard installation in Newport usually takes 4–6 hours. Water is shut off only while we cut into the main line—about 60–90 minutes. We handle all necessary permits, mount the filtration tank(s) in a garage or basement, connect the bypass manifold, and sanitize the plumbing before turning the water back on. Same-day service restores your water by late afternoon, and our crew cleans up the workspace before leaving.

What do whole-house filtration systems cost and what warranties are offered?

Complete systems start around $1,450 installed and range upward depending on flow rate, media type, and added conditioners such as water softeners or UV sterilizers. Most tanks and control heads carry a manufacturer’s warranty of 5–10 years. We include a 1-year labor warranty and offer extended coverage plans for Newport customers. Over the system’s life, homeowners typically save on bottled water, appliance repairs, and soap usage, making the investment cost-effective within 3–5 years.
