Whole-House Water Filtration
Whole-House Water Filtration in Daly City
Point-of-entry filtration for Westlake, Serramonte and the rest of Daly City, fitted in garages that were never built for it.
Why whole-house filtration suits Daly City
Whole-house water filtration in Daly City usually solves two problems at once. The regional water is disinfected with chloramine, which leaves a pool-like smell in hot showers. And many homes still have some original galvanized pipe, which sheds rust that turns up in toilet tanks, aerators and white laundry.
A sediment stage at the main catches rust and grit before they travel through the house. A catalytic carbon stage behind it removes chloramine, so the shower, the kitchen and the washing machine all get the same cleaner water.
Because Daly City water is soft, there is rarely any need for a softener alongside it. We check the hardness anyway and tell you the number.
Fitting it into an older house
Most Daly City homes have the main shutoff in the garage, often right beside the water heater and the laundry. Space is tight, so we usually use compact wall-mounted housings rather than tall tanks, and we keep everything clear of the garage door and the car.
If the line coming in is old galvanized pipe, we cut in carefully and support it properly, because old pipe does not like being twisted. If we see a section that is close to failing, we point it out before we touch it, so there are no surprises halfway through.

Questions people ask
Will it fix my rusty pipes?
No filter can repair pipes. It stops the rust from reaching your taps and appliances. If the pipes are near the end, we will tell you.
How often do cartridges change?
Sediment cartridges in older galvanized homes may need changing every two to four months. Carbon lasts much longer. We write down your schedule.
Will water pressure drop?
Not noticeably when it is sized right. If your pressure is already low, old pipes are usually the cause, and we will check.
