The Installation Process: What to Expect When Installing a Whole Home Water Filtration System

A whole home water filtration system improves your water quality and makes drinking water safer for your family. It works by removing contaminants, pollutants, and other toxins. Additionally, it also improves the pH levels of water, thus improving the longevity of your appliances.

Here’s what you can expect during the installation process of a whole home water filtration system.

Consultation and Assessment

The first step in installing a whole home water filtration system is to schedule a consultation with a reliable water filtration company. During the consultation, the professionals will assess your current water quality, test your water for contaminants, and recommend the best whole-home water filtration system for your needs. They will also examine your plumbing system to determine the best location for the system and any necessary modifications that need to be made to the plumbing to accommodate the system.

The Pre-Installation Process

Before the installation process begins, the experts will turn off the main water supply to your home and drain the water from the plumbing system to ensure that there is no water pressure during the installation process.

The Installation Process

The installation process begins with the installation of the pre-filter, which removes larger particles and sediment from the water. The pre-filter is installed between the main water supply line and the whole-home water filtration system.

Next, the whole-home water filtration system is installed. The professionals will connect the system to the plumbing and ensure that it is securely in place. The installation process usually takes between 2-4 hours, depending on the complexity of the installation.

Testing and Inspection

After the installation is complete, the technician will turn on the main water supply to your home and test the whole-home water filtration system. They will check for any leaks, ensure that the water pressure is optimal, and test the water quality to ensure that the system is working correctly.

Maintenance and Care

Once the installation process is complete, it’s essential to maintain and care for your whole-home water filtration system. Follow expert instructions on how to care for the system and how often it needs to be serviced. Generally, whole-home water filtration systems require a filter change every six months or once a year, depending on the quality of your water and the type of filtration system you have installed.

In Conclusion

A whole-home water filtration system is an excellent investment for your home. A reputable water filtration company will guide you through the process and ensure that you have clean and healthy water for you and your family. With the proper care and maintenance, your whole-home water filtration system will work effectively for years to come.

You’re Not Just Tired of Hard Water. You’re Tired of the Runaround.

Most Systems Sell Simplicity. We Deliver Protection.

I’ve been doing this for decades. And I can tell you, most systems aren’t built wrong.
They’re sold wrong.

They don’t test your pressure. They don’t check your copper. They give you the same setup they give everyone else.

At McCowin Water, we slow it down, test your actual water, and build a system matched to your house, your pressure, and your needs.

What You’re Probably Dealing With (And No One Told You)

Pinhole copper leaks from chlorine that’s never removed
Scale buildup torching your heater, dishwasher, and fixtures
Dry skin and flare-ups from chloramines and hard minerals
Bottled water habits because you still don’t trust your tap

If that sounds familiar, you’re not crazy. You’re just ready for clarity.

We’ve been doing this since 1972. And the truth hasn’t changed:

Let’s Fix That.

Call us at (949) 569-5736 or schedule your free water test today.

You’ll meet one of us. Not a subcontractor. Not a closer. We’ll walk your system, test your water, and tell you the truth.

Because around here? Clear water means clear conscience.
