Whole Home Water Filtration (Pro Install) in Whitby

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.

Insulate exposed pipes in unheated spaces (attic, crawlspace, garage), keep cabinet doors open during extreme cold to allow warm air circulation, and maintain a minimum 55°F temperature when away. For vulnerable areas, we install heat trace cable that activates automatically in freezing conditions — preventing costly burst pipe emergencies.

Tank water heaters typically last 10–12 years. Signs of failure include rusty water, rumbling noises, leaks at the base, and inconsistent temperature. We recommend proactive replacement before failure to avoid emergency situations — especially during winter when hot water is essential and demand for plumbers peaks.

If your home has ever had basement moisture — even minor dampness — a sump pump is strongly recommended. Spring snowmelt and heavy rainfall events are the most common causes of small-town basement flooding. We install primary sump pumps with battery backup systems to protect your basement year-round.
