Water Filtration Systems in Hollister for Cleaner Water at Every Tap

Filtration solves a different problem than softening. A softener removes the hardness minerals that cause scale; a filter removes what you can taste, smell, or see.

• You are a candidate for filtration when tap water tastes or smells of chlorine, when well water leaves grit in toilet tanks and faucet aerators, or when fixtures and laundry show rust or orange staining. Some households simply want better drinking water at the kitchen sink without buying bottled water.
• Well water around Hollister, San Juan Bautista, and rural San Benito County often carries sediment and iron that clog fixtures and appliance valves. Municipal water is treated to be safe, but many homeowners still prefer to remove the chlorine taste.

If your water is hard as well, filtration and softening often work best together in one staged system.

We start with your water source and the symptoms you are seeing, then recommend only the stages the water needs. A sediment filter catches sand, silt, and rust particles, and usually sits first in line.

• A carbon stage removes chlorine and many taste and odor compounds. Well supplies with iron may need a dedicated iron stage.
• Whole-house systems are plumbed into the main line, usually in the garage or utility area, with a bypass so filters can be changed without shutting off the house. Point-of-use systems mount under a sink or in a cabinet and feed a dedicated drinking water faucet.

We install, flush, and test the system, then show you how and when to change each cartridge.
