Clean, Safe Water for Your Home Starts Here
Protect Your Health, Save on Costs, and Enjoy Better-Tasting Water!
If you’ve ever turned on your sink and noticed a strong chlorine smell, strange taste (assuming you’re drinking it), or cloudy appearance, you’re not the only one. A lot of homeowners are shocked to learn just how poor their water quality is until they install a whole house filtration system.
At Legendess Plumbing, we believe that clean, safe water should be a given, not a luxury. That’s why we offer professional installation of high-quality water filtration systems to make sure that your home’s water is better for you, your family, and the planet.
What is Water Filtration?
In general, filtration is a method that’s used to separate solid particles from a liquid or gas by passing the fluid through a filtering material that traps certain unwanted particles. Basically, it allows the fluid (in this case, water) to flow through while preventing these unwanted solids from continuing along with it.
This process tends to involve different techniques depending on what needs to be filtered out. Sometimes, a simple physical barrier is enough (like a mesh material that catches the solids). Other times, chemical reactions or biological processes can help break down or capture the particles more effectively.
Water filtration works in several ways, including straining (this is where larger particles are physically blocked), flocculation (where tiny particles clump together to make removal easier), sedimentation (where heavier particles settle naturally before being filtered), and surface capture (where particles stick to the filtering material).
For water filtration to work properly, there needs to be a filtering material (which can be thick or thin, depending on the application). Then, there must be a fluid that contains the harmful particles in question (i.e. your tap water).
A force is also needed to push the fluid through the filter (whether that’s gravity, pressure, or suction). Finally, there needs to be a structure that holds everything together. This may sound simple enough, but truly efficient water filtration is anything but. For this reason, we’d recommend hiring a professional to install a water filtration system in your home.
Why Do You Need a Water Filtration System?
Not many people are aware of this, but far too many city water systems contain chlorine levels that are higher than what’s typically used in swimming pools. Yes, really. It’s a bit nuts, considering most people wouldn’t dream of drinking swimming pool water.
Add to that the presence of contaminants like PFAS (forever chemicals), heavy metals, and other harmful substances, and your tap water may not be as safe as you think it is. A whole house filtration system removes these contaminants and provides cleaner, better-tasting water.
The Benefits of Whole House Water Filtration
Are you wondering what the exact benefits of whole house water filtration are? You’re not alone. Let’s take a closer look at these benefits below:
Removes Chlorine & Chemicals
Whole house water filtration eliminates excessive chlorine. This helps to improve both the taste and smell of the water you drink and cook with.
Reduces PFAS & Other Contaminants
It also significantly lowers exposure to harmful substances (which tend to be linked to serious health concerns).
Better for Your Hair and Skin
Whole house water filtration also reduces harsh chemicals that can cause issues like hair dryness and skin irritation.
Protects Your Appliances and Plumbing
It minimizes common issues like scale buildup and also extends the lifespan of appliances that use a lot of water.
Eco-Friendly and Cost-Effective
You’ll no longer have to rely on plastic bottled water. With a whole house water filtration system, you’ll get to enjoy clean water straight from the tap. This means you’ll be able to save money and the environment.
Advanced Filtration Technology
As a Halo Certified Installer, Legendess Plumbing recommends and installs high-quality water filtration systems. These systems use filtration methods that really work — which we’ll take a closer look at below:
Ion Exchange Water Conditioning
This particular process conditions hard water without removing any essential minerals. Unlike more traditional softeners, ion exchange leaves the hardness in the water but prevents it from binding to surfaces. This reduces scale buildup in appliances and pipes, which is a huge plus.
5-Stage Charcoal Filtration
A charcoal filtration system (basically box filters that contain activated carbon) removes chlorine, reduces PFAS, and eliminates other impurities. This process guarantees cleaner, healthier water for your entire home.
How Does Your Tap Water Compare?
If you’re still not sure if you need a water filtration system, we’d recommend checking out the Environmental Working Group’s (EWG) Tap Water Database. Just enter your zip code and find out how safe (or unsafe) your local water supply is.

Whole House Filtration vs. Bottled Water
Did you know that a lot of families spend over $100 per month on bottled water? This habit isn’t just expensive — it harms the environment. This is why getting a whole house water filtration system is recommended.
With a whole house water filtration system, you and your family members will be able to enjoy clean water for the same cost or less as bottled water — and you’ll get to reduce the amount of plastic waste you’re producing, too! Without a doubt, it’s a smarter, more sustainable choice.
