Water Filtration

We believe home water filtration systems are definitely worth the investment for Littleton residents. Colorado's Front Range water, while meeting safety standards, often contains minerals, chlorine, and occasionally traces of contaminants that affect taste and quality. A proper filtration system addresses these issues and provides several benefits. Most of our customers notice immediate improvement in water taste and clarity after installation. Filtered water reduces potential damage to plumbing fixtures and appliances by removing scale-forming minerals common in our hard water. This extends the life of dishwashers, water heaters, and washing machines. Many families appreciate the convenience and cost savings of no longer purchasing bottled water. For households with members who have sensitive immune systems or specific health concerns, filtered water provides additional peace of mind. While initial installation costs range from $300 to $2,000 depending on the system, the long-term savings and quality improvements make filtration systems a worthwhile investment for most Littleton homes.

We find that the best drinking water filtration system for Littleton homes depends on your specific water concerns and budget. For comprehensive protection, reverse osmosis systems excel at removing up to 99% of contaminants, including the minerals that contribute to our region's hard water. These systems effectively filter out chlorine, lead, arsenic, fluoride, and even pharmaceutical residues. For homes primarily concerned with taste and odor, activated carbon filters are often sufficient and more affordable. Carbon filtration excels at removing chlorine, which is commonly used in Littleton's municipal water treatment. If sediment is your main concern, especially for homes using well water in outlying areas, sediment filters effectively remove particles and improve clarity. Multi-stage systems combining several filtration technologies offer the most complete solution but at a higher price point. During our in-home water quality assessments, we test for specific contaminants and hardness levels to recommend the most appropriate system for your family's needs and Littleton's particular water challenges.

We consider reverse osmosis (RO) the most effective overall water filtration method available to Littleton homeowners. This technology forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that removes particles as small as 0.0001 microns—effectively eliminating up to 99% of dissolved contaminants. RO systems address Colorado's hard water issues by removing calcium and magnesium that cause scaling. They also filter out chlorine, lead, arsenic, nitrates, and other contaminants sometimes found in Front Range water supplies. Most RO systems we install include multiple filtration stages: pre-filters for sediment, carbon filters for chemical removal, the RO membrane, and post-filters for final polishing. While more expensive than basic filtration methods, RO provides the most comprehensive protection and significantly improved taste. For homes with specific concerns, we sometimes recommend combining RO with UV purification, which adds protection against potential microbial contamination. This combination represents the gold standard in residential water filtration, especially for families with health concerns or those seeking the highest quality drinking water possible.
