How to Know When It’s Time to Install a Whole House Filter
Clean water is essential to a healthy home. We use it for drinking, bathing, cooking, and even cleaning—but what happens when that water isn’t as clean as it seems? Most people assume their tap water is safe because it meets local standards, but the truth is, not all contaminants are regulated, and many can still make their way into your home.
At One Water Systems, we believe clean, healthy water should flow from every tap—not just the kitchen sink. If you’re wondering whether it’s time to install a whole house water filtration system, here are the most common signs it’s time to make the switch.
1. Your Water Smells or Tastes Bad
Does your water have a noticeable chlorine smell? A metallic taste? Or worse, a rotten egg odor? These are often signs of chemical additives, sulfur, or bacterial contamination. While these may not always be dangerous, they definitely make your water unpleasant—and that’s a clear red flag.
One Water Solution: Our system removes chlorine, chloramine, and other unwanted tastes and odors so your water is clean, fresh, and enjoyable throughout the house.
2. You See Stains or Buildup on Fixtures
Hard water stains, white scale on faucets, or brownish residue in sinks and tubs usually indicate high levels of minerals, iron, or sediment in your water. Over time, this buildup can damage plumbing, reduce appliance lifespan, and even affect skin and hair.
One Water Solution: Our whole house filter tackles mineral deposits without using salt, helping protect your home and everything (and everyone) in it.
3. You or Your Family Have Skin or Health Irritations
Dry skin, brittle hair, or persistent irritation after showers? It may not be your soap—it could be your water. Chemicals like chlorine and chloramine, as well as unregulated contaminants like VOCs or PFAS, can trigger skin sensitivity and allergic reactions.
One Water Solution: By filtering the water before it reaches your showerhead, we help protect your skin and health with every wash.
4. You Rely on Well Water or Live in an Older Area
If your home is supplied by a well or your plumbing hasn’t been updated in decades, your water is more likely to contain heavy metals, bacteria, or other naturally occurring contaminants that aren’t removed by municipal treatment.
One Water Solution: Our maintenance-free system is ideal for both city and well water, offering peace of mind without the hassle of cartridges or softeners.
5. You’re Tired of Buying Bottled Water
Bottled water may seem like a simple fix—but it's expensive, inconvenient, and wasteful. It also only solves the problem at the drinking glass, not the whole home. If you're filtering water at the sink but ignoring what comes through your shower or laundry, you're missing out on total home protection.
One Water Solution: One installation. Whole house coverage. You can stop wasting money and start enjoying cleaner water everywhere—from every tap, every time.
If you're experiencing any of these issues—or if you're simply ready for better water quality—it's time to consider installing a whole house water filtration system. One Water Systems offers a non-electric, salt-free, and maintenance-free solution built for California homes and families who care about health, sustainability, and long-term savings.
Clean water shouldn’t be complicated. It should just be there—always.
