Families across Pioneer love it because the system is virtually silent, energy-efficient, and backed by HEP’s rock-solid workmanship guarantee.
Our installers tuck the compact unit out of sight, program it for your local water profile, and show you how effortless upkeep can be—most homeowners only swap a single filter once or twice a year. With professional sizing, rapid installation, and 24/7 support only a phone call away, HEP makes water purification simple, reliable, and worry-free.
FAQs
What is a whole-home water purification system and how does it differ from a point-of-use filter?
A whole-home (also called point-of-entry) purification system is installed on your main water line where it enters the house, so every tap—kitchen, bath, laundry, ice maker, and outdoor spigots—receives filtered, conditioned water. Point-of-use devices such as pitcher filters or under-sink reverse-osmosis units treat water at one fixture only. Whole-home systems protect plumbing, appliances, and every water outlet, eliminating the need for multiple individual filters.
Which contaminants does Pioneer’s whole-home purification plumbing remove or reduce?
Our multi-stage systems typically address sediment, chlorine/chloramines, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pesticides, herbicides, heavy metals (lead, mercury), and scale-forming minerals. Optional add-ons can target bacteria, cysts, and PFAS. The exact performance depends on the cartridge or media you choose; we offer NSF-certified modules with published reduction ratings so you can match your system to your local water quality report.
Will the system affect my home’s water pressure or flow rate?
Properly sized, a whole-home purifier has minimal impact on pressure. Pioneer units are engineered for 1" or ¾" main lines and maintain 10–15 gallons per minute—more than enough for simultaneous shower, laundry, and dishwasher use. If you have a high-flow irrigation or luxury fixture setup, we can upsize the housing or install parallel tanks to keep pressure steady.
What maintenance is required and how often do I need to change filters?
Maintenance is straightforward: replace the sediment pre-filter every 6–12 months (or sooner if your water has heavy particulates) and the main carbon or specialty media cartridge every 12–36 months, depending on usage and contaminant load. The unit has a built-in bypass and pressure-release valve for no-mess changes you can do yourself. We also offer an annual service plan where a certified technician inspects the system, replaces cartridges, checks pressure, and sanitizes the housing.
How is installation handled and how long does it take?
A licensed Pioneer plumber visits your home for a free assessment to locate the best point-of-entry—usually near the water heater or in a garage. Installation typically takes 2–4 hours and includes shut-off valves, a bypass loop, pressure gauges, and any code-required permits. We test for leaks, flush the media, and show you how to read the gauges and replace filters. Most homes are back online with purified water the same day.
What is the cost of a whole-home purification system and are there financing options?
Equipment cost varies by capacity and media type, but most homeowners invest between $1,100 and $2,800 for a complete system, plus installation. Long-term operating cost averages 1–2 cents per gallon—far less than bottled water or individual faucet filters. Pioneer offers 0% same-as-cash financing for 12 months or low-interest plans up to 60 months, making it easy to spread the cost over time. All systems come with a limited lifetime housing warranty and a 3-year media warranty.
