FAQs
What is a whole-house water filtration system and how does it work?
A whole-house, or point-of-entry, filtration system is installed on the main water line where it enters your Reliance home. All water—whether used for drinking, cooking, bathing, or laundry—passes through a series of cartridges or tanks that trap sediment, neutralize chemicals, and remove dissolved contaminants before the water reaches any tap. Depending on the model you choose, stages can include a sediment pre-filter, activated-carbon filter, catalytic carbon for chloramine reduction, and optional UV or reverse-osmosis polishing for microbiological protection.
Which contaminants will Reliance Plumbing’s filtration systems remove?
Our recommended platforms target the impurities most commonly found in Reliance’s municipal and well supplies, including: • Sediment such as sand, rust, and silt • Chlorine and chloramine used in city disinfection • Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that affect taste and odor • Pesticides, herbicides, and industrial solvents • Heavy metals like lead and mercury • Scale-forming hardness minerals (with an added softening module) • Cysts, bacteria, and viruses (with UV or RO add-ons). During your free water analysis, we test for these parameters and tailor the cartridge combination to your specific water report.
Will installing a whole-house filter reduce my water pressure?
When sized and installed correctly, pressure loss is minimal—typically 2–5 psi, which most homeowners never notice. Reliance Plumbing selects systems with 1" or larger ports, matches flow-rate capacity (up to 15–20 gallons per minute) to your household demand, and installs a bypass loop so water service is never interrupted during maintenance. If your home already has marginal pressure, we can integrate a booster pump to keep showers and appliances performing at their best.
How often do the filters need to be replaced and what maintenance is required?
Service intervals depend on your water quality and usage, but a typical Reliance household will replace the sediment pre-filter every 6–12 months and the carbon media every 3–5 years. Tank-style systems use refillable media beds, so you swap out the carbon rather than the whole tank—saving money and plastic waste. UV lamps are replaced annually. Our maintenance plans include automated reminders, discounted cartridges, and an optional annual visit where a certified technician changes filters, sanitizes housings, tests water, and checks system pressure.
Do I need professional installation, and what does the Reliance process involve?
We strongly recommend professional installation because point-of-entry units tie into your main line, require correct flow orientation, and must comply with local plumbing codes. Reliance Plumbing’s process is turnkey: 1) Free on-site consultation and water test. 2) Written quote listing equipment, labor, and any code upgrades. 3) Installation scheduled at your convenience—typically completed in half a day. 4) Pressure test, leak check, and water quality verification. 5) Tutorial on bypassing, filter changes, and registering your warranty. All workmanship is covered by our 1-year labor guarantee, and most manufacturers provide 5–10-year tank warranties.
How much does a whole-house water purification system cost, and are financing options available?
Pricing varies with capacity and add-ons. A standard two-stage sediment + carbon unit for a three-bath Reliance home starts around $1,100 installed. Adding UV protection raises the package to roughly $1,800, while combining filtration with a water softener or whole-house reverse osmosis can reach $3,000–$5,000. Reliance Plumbing offers 0% interest financing for up to 18 months (on approved credit) as well as extended service plans that bundle filter replacements into one predictable monthly payment.
