Frozen lines in Jackson and Flagstaff, hard water in St. George, high-altitude heaters in Durango — we know your climate.
Water Filtration
Start with what’s actually in your water
Water that’s legal to drink can still taste of chlorine, smell like rotten eggs, leave grit in a showerhead or stain a sink orange. What causes it depends on where you live and where your water comes from. City water is disinfected, so chlorine and its by-products are common. Wells pick up sediment, iron, sulfur and whatever else is in the ground. The right filter for one home can be useless in the next.
That’s why we test before we recommend anything. A whole-home, or point-of-entry, system treats water where the main line enters, so the shower and washing machine get the same clean water as the kitchen tap. Typical setups combine a sediment pre-filter with carbon or specialty media, and pair with a water softener when hardness is part of the picture. We install the system, size it to keep your pressure up, and change the filters on schedule.
- Built from a Test Your results decide the filters, not a sales sheet.
- Whole-Home Coverage Treated water at every faucet, shower and appliance.
- Pressure Kept Up Sized so morning showers don’t slow to a trickle.
Signs to Filter
Clues your water could use filtering
Each of these points to a different contaminant, and a different filter.
-
Chlorine Taste or Smell
Tap water that tastes or smells like a swimming pool.
-
Rotten-Egg Odor
A sulfur smell, often stronger from hot taps, common on wells.
-
Cloudy or Discolored Water
Murky, brown or tinted water from the tap or after the main is off.
-
Grit in Aerators
Sand or sediment clogging faucet screens and showerheads.
-
Orange or Black Stains
Rust or dark staining in sinks, tubs, toilets and laundry.
-
Dry Skin After Showers
Irritation that can come from chlorine and hard minerals in bath water.
What We Install
Filtration matched to your water
Most homes need two or three of these working together.
- Water Testing Hardness, chlorine, sediment, iron and more, checked before we design anything.
- Sediment Pre-Filters Sand, silt and rust caught before they reach fixtures or other media.
- Carbon Filtration Chlorine, chemical taste and odor reduced throughout the house.
- Iron & Sulfur Treatment Specialty media for the staining and smells that come with well water.
- Softener Pairing Filtration and softening set up to work as one system.
- Filter Changes Scheduled cartridge and media service so the system keeps working.
How It Works
How we put a filtration system together
Four steps from a water sample to clean water at every tap.
-
Sample Your Water
We test what comes out of your tap, on city water or a well.
-
Design the System
We pick filters for what the test found and size them for your household.
-
Approve the Plan
You see the equipment and the price before anything is installed.
-
Install and Check
We plumb it in at the main, flush the media and confirm water quality and pressure.

Water filtration questions
Which Element locations install water filtration?
All four. Each team designs systems for its own local water: Flagstaff, Durango, St. George and Hurricane, and Jackson. Start with your local page to see what’s common in your area’s water. Wherever you are, no equipment is recommended until your water has been tested.
Is a whole-home filter better than a pitcher or faucet filter?
They do different jobs. A pitcher or faucet filter treats a small amount of drinking water. A whole-home system treats everything, so you’re not showering in chlorine or sending sediment into your appliances. Many homes use both: whole-home filtration for the house and a dedicated drinking-water system at the kitchen sink.
Do I need filtration and a softener?
Often, yes, because they solve different problems. A softener removes hardness minerals that cause scale. Filters remove chlorine, sediment, iron, odors and other contaminants. Your water test tells us which you need. See water softeners for how the two work together.
How often do filters need changing?
It depends on the filter and your water. Sediment cartridges load up fastest, especially on wells, while carbon media lasts longer but slowly loses its effect. We set a schedule based on your test and household size, and we can handle the changes for you when they come due.
Will a filtration system lower my water pressure?
Not if it’s sized properly. Undersized filters and clogged cartridges are what choke flow. We size housings and media tanks for your home’s peak demand, so several fixtures can run at once. If pressure drops later, it’s usually a sign the filters are due.
