Water Filtration Services in Rochester

Eliminate Impurities from Your Water

At Pride Plumbing of Rochester, we offer Watts® and Aqua-Pure® water filtration systems to ensure you have safe water in your home. Water from the tap can contain contaminants such as chlorine, pesticides, herbicides, volatile organic chemicals, sediment, rust, and lead from old pipes. Watts® and Aqua-Pure® use a carbon block filter, which enhances the absorption and adsorption processes to effectively reduce these harmful contaminants in your water supply.

We have a number of different filtration systems available including whole-house water and under-the-counter water filtration systems in Rochester, Pittsford, Henrietta and the surrounding areas. Our local experts even offer same-day installations, so you and your family can enjoy cleaner, healthier water today.

Whole-House Water Filtration Systems

We offer a number of different options for a whole-house water filtration system. Rather than targeting one particular faucet like the under-the-counter filtration systems, it filters the water throughout the entire household. This system is installed as close to the point of entry of your water supply as possible, before the water flows into your water heater.

Contaminants found in tap water can be unsafe for drinking, cooking, bathing, and inhaling. Chlorine, for example, is not only bad for you to drink, but it is also harmful to your skin and hair, and when inhaled. The whole-house filtration system will allow for healthier skin and hair and cleaner air in your home.

FAQ

Unusual taste: If your water has a fishy, oily, bitter, or metallic taste, it may be time for you to buy a filter.
Chlorine smell: If your water smells like a swimming pool, you may want to consider investing in a water filter. Chlorine is added to public water to remove bacteria, but it can make beverages unappetizing.
Sulfur smell: Sulfur is a naturally occurring mineral that smells like rotten eggs and is prevalent in some water systems but isn’t typically harmful. As with chlorine, the sulfur smell can be eliminated with a filter.
Lower than usual water pressure: If your kitchen faucet seems to be running slower than usual, you could have clogged pipes. This can happen when the pipes become corroded and then fill up with sediment and scale. If sediment is clogging your pipes, getting a water filter to avoid the remnants in your drinking water is a good idea.
Cloudy or foamy water: Many water systems do not filter out minerals from drinking water and these harmless compounds can give water a cloudy or foamy appearance. If this does not disappear after letting the water settle for a minute or so, it could be caused by bacteria. In this case, you should have your water tested and invest in a filter.
Dirt and sediment:If you run your faucet and see dirt or sediment coming out, it is time to install a filter.

The whole house water filtration system filters water for the entire home. If you do not have any special contamination issues, then a whole house carbon filtration system would be recommended for general multi-purpose whole house purification. This system could be used for the water in your bathroom, shower, cleaning, and gardening.

An under-the-counter water filtration system is also called a reverse osmosis or RO system. It is the most convenient and effective method for water filtration. RO systems are the same filtration used for bottled water and were first designed to desalinate seawater. They are placed underneath the sink and store purified water to be readily available at all times. This system filters up to 99% of all contaminants that are in water including nitrate, arsenic, chromium, fluoride, radon, and other contaminants that whole house filters cannot remove. This will leave you with the purest water quality possible. They are low maintenance systems that only require annual filter change and are designed to provide purified water for a lifetime. However, it is not practical to be using RO systems throughout the entire home because it would essentially be flushing bottled quality water down the drain. This is where a whole house filtration system can be used in combination to provide filtration for the entire home.

If you have a specific problem with your water—for example, there is orange or brown staining, which indicates there is iron in your water—the whole house water filtration and the RO system have two different jobs. An RO system could treat the iron staining issue but only at the point of use drinking faucet. Whole house systems are point of entry systems that are able to protect pipes and appliances to reduce the orange staining throughout the home.
