Water Filtration System Installation
If your water smells off, leaves white spots on fixtures, or just doesn’t taste right — you’re not imagining it. Las Vegas has some of the hardest water in the country, and it takes a toll on your pipes, appliances, skin, and health over time.
- Hard water scale is building up in your pipes and water heater
- Your water tastes or smells like chlorine, sulfur, or sediment
- Your dishes, fixtures, and showers are constantly showing white spots
- You're buying bottled water every week and want a better option
- You want better water quality for cooking, drinking, and bathing
- You're doing a remodel and want filtration done right from the start
Quick Answer: Do You Need a Water Filtration System?
Las Vegas water is treated and safe to drink by EPA standards — but “safe” and “clean-tasting with no long-term effects on your home” are two different things. The water here is high in minerals, chlorine, and total dissolved solids (TDS). Over time, that hard water damages appliances, shortens pipe life, and affects how your water tastes and feels.
A whole-house filtration or softener system addresses the problem at the source — before water reaches your appliances, faucets, and shower. A reverse osmosis (RO) system at the kitchen sink handles drinking and cooking water at a higher filtration level.
The right system depends on your water concerns, household size, and what you’re trying to protect. We’ll walk you through options and explain the tradeoffs clearly.

Why Las Vegas Homes Need Filtration More Than Most
Las Vegas draws its water from the Colorado River and Lake Mead, and by the time it reaches your tap, it carries a significant mineral load. The Las Vegas Valley consistently ranks among the hardest water areas in the US.
Here’s what that means for your home over time:
- Scale buildup in pipes: Calcium and magnesium deposits accumulate inside pipes and water heaters, reducing flow and shortening equipment life.
- Appliance damage: Washing machines, dishwashers, ice makers, and coffee makers all wear out faster with hard water running through them.
- Chlorine and disinfection byproducts: The treatment process adds chlorine, which you can often taste and smell — especially during summer when demand spikes.
- Skin and hair: Many Henderson, Summerlin, and North Las Vegas homeowners report dry skin and dull hair tied to high mineral content.
- Bottled water dependency: If you’re going through cases of bottled water just for drinking, a point-of-use RO system often pays for itself within a year.
Our Water Heater Installation Process
- Whole-House Water SoftenersInstalled at the main water line where it enters your home. Removes calcium and magnesium through ion exchange, protecting every faucet, appliance, and water heater in the house. This is the most common setup for Las Vegas homeowners dealing with scale.
- Whole-House Carbon FiltrationTargets chlorine, chloramines, and other chemical tastes and odors throughout the home. Often paired with a softener for a more complete solution.
- Reverse Osmosis (RO) — Point of UseInstalled under the kitchen sink, an RO system removes up to 99% of dissolved solids, heavy metals, nitrates, and chlorine from your drinking and cooking water. This is the upgrade most Las Vegas families choose when they want to stop buying bottled water.
- Whole-House RO or Multi-Stage SystemsFor households with specific water quality concerns — elevated TDS, well water, or particular contaminants — we can install multi-stage systems that combine sediment filtration, carbon filtration, and softening.
- Sediment Pre-Filters
Simple inline filters that catch sand, rust, and particulate matter before water enters your appliances. Often recommended as a first line of defense, especially in older North Las Vegas homes or after pipe repairs.

- Step 3: Clean installation. We install at the main line (whole-house systems) or under the sink (RO), connect everything correctly, and make sure the system is dialed in before we leave. We pull any required permits and handle inspection scheduling on your behalf.
- Step 4: Test and verify. We run the system, check flow and pressure, and confirm everything is operating as it should. We’ll show you how to monitor filter status and when to schedule maintenance.
- Simple process. Clean install. We explain everything before work starts.
What Affects the Cost of Water Filtration Installation?
Every home is a little different. Here are the main factors that affect pricing:
- System type: A basic sediment filter is far less involved than a whole-house RO or softener. The system itself is usually the biggest part of the cost.
- Installation location: Main-line access, garage vs. utility room, and available space all affect labor time.
- Existing plumbing condition: If valves or connections need upgrading as part of the install, that adds to the scope.
- Point-of-use vs. whole-house: Under-sink RO installs are simpler and faster. Whole-house systems involve more work.
- Drain and bypass lines: Some systems require dedicated drain lines or bypass valves — done correctly from day one.

Common Water Filtration System FAQs in las Vegas
Expert answers to help you make informed decisions
Q1 Is Las Vegas tap water safe to drink without a filter?
Las Vegas tap water meets EPA safety standards. That said, many homeowners in Summerlin, Henderson, and North Las Vegas notice a strong chlorine taste or odor, especially in summer. A point-of-use RO or carbon filter significantly improves taste and reduces disinfection byproducts — without the cost of bottled water.
Q2 What's the difference between a water softener and a water filter?
A water softener removes hardness minerals — calcium and magnesium — to protect your pipes and appliances. A water filter (carbon, sediment, or RO) removes chemicals, taste issues, and dissolved solids. Many Las Vegas homeowners do both: a softener for the whole house, and an RO filter at the kitchen sink for drinking water.
Q3 How do I know if I have hard water?
Common signs include white scale buildup around faucets and showerheads, soap that doesn’t lather well, and dry or itchy skin after showering. Las Vegas water is consistently rated among the hardest in the US — if you’re noticing these signs, hard water is almost certainly the cause.
Q4 How long does installation take?
An under-sink RO system typically takes 1–2 hours. A whole-house softener or filtration system takes 2–4 hours depending on your home’s plumbing layout. We’ll give you a clear timeframe during your consultation.
Q5 Do water filtration systems need maintenance?
Yes. RO systems need filter changes roughly every 6–12 months. Water softeners need salt replenishment and occasional resin cleaning. Whole-house carbon filters have replacement schedules based on gallons processed. We’ll walk you through the maintenance schedule for whatever system we install.
Q6 Will a water softener affect my water pressure?
A properly sized and installed softener should have no noticeable impact on pressure. In some cases, removing scale buildup inside pipes actually improves flow over time.
Q7 Do you pull permits for filtration installs in Las Vegas?
For standard under-sink RO installs, permits are typically not required. For whole-house systems that tie into the main line, it depends on scope. When a permit is needed, we handle the application and schedule the inspection — you don’t have to deal with it.
Q8 Can I add filtration if I already have a tankless water heater?
recommended. Tankless water heaters are especially sensitive to scale buildup. A softener or pre-filter protects the heat exchanger and significantly extends the life of the unit. Many Henderson and Summerlin homeowners pair filtration with their tankless systems for this reason.
Q9 What's the benefit of whole-house filtration vs. just a kitchen RO unit?
An RO unit at the kitchen sink gives you high-quality drinking and cooking water. A whole-house system protects your appliances, pipes, and every faucet in the home from hard water damage. They serve different purposes — we’re happy to walk through which makes sense for your situation.
Q10 Do you service my area?
Yes. We install and service water filtration systems throughout Las Vegas, Summerlin, Henderson, North Las Vegas, Centennial Hills, Enterprise, and surrounding areas. Call or text (702) 908-0953 to confirm your location.
