Whole Home Water Filtration (Pro Install) in Scugog

A whole home water filtration system filters all water entering your home, providing clean water for drinking, bathing, and protecting your appliances from contaminants and hard water effects.

These comprehensive systems can remove sediment, chlorine, heavy metals, chemicals, bacteria, viruses (with UV), and reduce water hardness, depending on the chosen components.

Installation typically takes 1-2 days, varying based on the complexity of the system, existing plumbing, and any necessary electrical work for UV components.

A water softener specifically addresses hard water minerals, while filters remove other contaminants. Many homeowners opt for both a comprehensive filtration system and a softener for complete water treatment.

Maintenance varies by system but generally involves periodic filter replacements (every 6-12 months) and annual UV lamp changes. RenoHouse can guide you on specific maintenance schedules.

Yes, plumbing and sometimes electrical permits are often required to ensure safety and compliance with local building codes. RenoHouse handles all necessary permitting for your installation.

A UV (ultraviolet) filter provides an extra layer of protection by effectively killing bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms in your water without the use of chemicals.

The space required depends on the components, but systems are typically installed in a basement, utility room, or garage near the main water line where there's adequate access and drainage.

Well water systems require pressure tanks, UV treatment for bacterial safety, water softeners for hard water, and sediment filtration. All fixtures should be selected for compatibility with your water quality. We test water quality as part of every rural plumbing project to recommend the right treatment and fixture choices.

Septic systems have finite capacity — adding fixtures (especially toilets) may require a septic capacity assessment. We select low-flow fixtures that reduce the load on your system and ensure all drain connections comply with Ontario's septic regulations. Water-saving toilets (4.8L/flush) and fixtures help your septic system last longer.

Common causes include a failing pressure tank bladder, a worn well pump, clogged sediment filter, or a dropping water table. We diagnose the specific issue and repair or upgrade components as needed. Many rural homeowners benefit from a constant-pressure pump system that maintains steady pressure at all fixtures.
