Whole-house water filtration in Bradenton & Sarasota County

A whole-house filter goes on your main water line, so every tap, shower and appliance gets filtered water. It takes out the chlorine and chloramine your utility adds, along with the chemical taste and smell. One flat price in writing, installed in a day.

What it fixes.

Utilities add a disinfectant so water stays safe on its way through miles of pipe. Most of Manatee and Sarasota County uses chloramine, a longer-lasting form of chlorine. It's safe at these levels, but once it reaches your house it has done its job. Our chloramine guide has the details by utility.

  • Chemical taste and smellGone from every tap, not just the kitchen.
  • Pool smell in the showerCarbon needs contact time to take out chloramine, which a small shower cartridge can't give it. A tank on the main line can.
  • Disinfection byproductsCarbon reduces the byproducts that form when disinfectant meets organic matter in the water.
  • Stronger smell some weeksUtilities switch to free chlorine for a couple of weeks to clean their pipes. The filter handles both.

What's included.

A tank-style filter, not a cartridge you change every few months.

  • A catalytic carbon tankCatalytic carbon is a grade made to break down chloramine, not only chlorine. It sits on your main line where the water comes in.
  • Sized to your homeBuilt to order in Florida, with enough carbon for your flow and your household, so pressure stays strong.
  • Bypass valveTakes the filter offline in seconds if a plumber ever needs it.
  • Before and after checkWe test for chlorine at your kitchen tap before and after, so you see it go to zero.
  • Haul-away and walkthroughWe take the packaging and show you how it works.

Filter, softener or both?

They do different jobs. A carbon filter takes out chlorine and chloramine but leaves the minerals. A water softener takes out the minerals but leaves the chlorine.

Most homes on Manatee County water have both problems. The Whole Home handles them together in one combined tank: catalytic carbon over softening resin, which is why it costs far less than two separate pieces.

  • Only the taste bothers youThe whole-house filter on its own.
  • Taste plus crust and spotsFiltering and softening together in one tank.
  • Big or busy household?Upgrade to two separate tanks: a full-size softener and a larger carbon tank, each doing its own job.
  • The best drinking water tooAdd a drinking water system (RO) at the kitchen sink.

Upkeep, after year one.

Nothing to add. A carbon tank rinses itself and lasts years before the carbon needs replacing. There are no cartridges to buy every few months.

With a softener in the mix, the only regular job is salt. Or hand it to us with the water-care plan: we handle it and retest your water once a year.

  • No monthly cartridgesThe carbon is in a tank, not a disposable filter.
  • Standard mediaWhen it's time, any water company can replace it. You're never tied to us.
  • WarrantyUp to 10-year tank & 5-year control valve manufacturer's warranties (plus our 1-year installation workmanship guarantee), spelled out part-by-part in writing before you buy.

Filtration questions.

Does a whole-house filter remove chloramine?

Yes, if it's the right carbon with enough contact time. That's why we use catalytic carbon in a tank on the main line rather than a cartridge.

Will it lower my water pressure?

Not noticeably. We size the tank to your home's flow so the shower still feels like a shower.

Does it soften the water?

No. Carbon removes chlorine and chloramine, not calcium and magnesium. For crust and spots, add softening.

Is chloramine safe to drink?

Yes, at the levels utilities use. The federal limit is 4.0 ppm as an annual average. Filtering it is about taste, smell and comfort.

What's the difference between one tank and two?

The Whole Home puts catalytic carbon and softening resin in one combined tank. The premium upgrade splits them into a full-size softener and a larger carbon tank, for more capacity and longer carbon life.

Do I still need a drinking water system (RO)?

Not for chlorine. Reverse osmosis pushes water through a very fine membrane that also catches dissolved minerals and sodium, so many people like it for drinking and cooking water.

Do you need to visit first?

Once, briefly, to look at where your water comes in. Then the price goes in writing, extras included, before any work starts.

Filtered water at every tap, one flat price in writing.
