Water Filter Installation in Austin, TX
Whole-home carbon filtration and reverse osmosis drinking water, sized to your tested water and installed by a licensed plumber.
What You Are Filtering Out of Austin Water
Austin-area water is treated and disinfected before it reaches your meter, so it arrives carrying a chlorine or chloramine residual along with the dissolved minerals it picked up moving through limestone. That combination is what people taste in a glass of tap water and smell in the shower. We test chlorine, hardness and sediment at your tap, then size the filtration to the reading instead of selling a package off a shelf.
Three Ways We Filter Austin Homes
Whole-home carbon filtration
Catalytic carbon at the main line removes the chlorine and chloramine taste and smell from every tap and shower in the house, paired with softening so scale is handled at the same time.

A multi-stage RO system under the sink for the water you drink, cook with and freeze into ice, with a dedicated faucet and an optional line to the refrigerator.

Homes on a private well, or switching between well and city water, get sediment, iron and disinfection stages sized to a tested sample rather than a package guess.

A carbon filter will not stop scale, and a softener will not fix the chlorine taste. In Central Texas you need both, which is why our whole-home system runs a high-capacity softening stage and a catalytic carbon stage in one installed package at the main line.

Austin Water Filtration FAQs
What does Austin water need to be filtered for?
Austin-area utilities carry a chlorine or chloramine disinfectant residual to the tap, and Central Texas water is heavy in dissolved calcium and magnesium from limestone. Filtration handles the taste, smell and sediment side; softening handles the scale. Most homes here need both, which is why we install them as one package.
What is the difference between a water filter and a water softener?
A filter removes things like chlorine, chloramine, sediment and taste and odor compounds. A softener exchanges the calcium and magnesium that scale your water heater and fixtures. Neither one does the other's job, so a whole-home setup in Austin usually combines a softening stage with a carbon stage.
Do I need reverse osmosis if I already have a whole-home filter?
For drinking and cooking water, yes. Whole-home carbon improves every tap in the house, but a reverse osmosis system at the kitchen sink is what polishes the water you actually drink and make ice with.
How much does whole-home filtration cost in Austin?
Our whole-home softening and filtration system is $2,699 installed when your home already has a garage water loop. Homes without a loop need a plumbing build-out, which we quote in writing after we see the setup. There is no sales tax on the installed system, and card payments carry a 3 percent processing fee.
How long does installation take?
A whole-home system at an existing loop is typically a single-visit install by a licensed, insured and bonded plumber. Under-sink reverse osmosis is usually installed the same visit.
What is covered by the warranty?
Whole-home tanks, valves and dry parts carry the coverage described in our warranty page. Reverse osmosis equipment, including the RO-5 and AlkaPro 800, carries a 1 year manufacturer warranty.
