Warning signs
Reasons to Consider Water Filtration
Water filtration is a quality-of-life upgrade, not usually a safety issue in Utah. Here's when it makes sense.
You can smell or taste chlorine in tap water or the shower
You buy bottled water regularly because the tap tastes bad
Sediment or rusty particles occasionally come out of the tap
White spots on dishes, shower glass, and bathroom faucets (TDS)
Skin or hair feels dry and irritated after showers
Concerned about pharmaceuticals, PFAS, or other trace contaminants
Home on well water (East Bench, Park City area) with taste or bacteria issues
Water heater, dishwasher, or washing machine failing prematurely
Coffee or tea tastes off even with a good machine
Concerned about lead in older home with original copper solder joints
Cleaner water
Chlorine out. Great-tasting water in.
Whole-home filtration at every tap, plus an under-sink RO for drinking water. Stop buying bottled water, extend appliance life, and shower without smelling like a pool.

The Process
How a Water Filtration Install Runs
Water test and recommendation
Tech tests TDS, chlorine, hardness, pH, and iron levels at the kitchen tap. Based on the results and what you're trying to achieve, we recommend the right system — whole-home, RO, or both.
Quote options
Usually 2-3 options at different price points. Entry-level carbon filter for chlorine only, mid-range multi-stage for chlorine + sediment + heavy metals, premium system with catalytic carbon + UV. Plus RO options for drinking water.
Install day
Whole-home filter installs at the main water entry inside the house or garage. Plumbed with bypass valves so filters can be changed without shutting off the house water. Half-day install for whole-home only, full day if adding RO under the sink.
Commission and test
Flush the filter media (new carbon cartridges need 15-30 minutes of flushing), verify flow rate, pressure, and taste. Re-test TDS and chlorine to confirm the system is performing as spec.
Annual filter service
Filters need replacement on a schedule — every 6-12 months for standard carbon, every 12 months for catalytic, every 12-24 months for RO membranes. Quality Service Club coordinates this automatically so you don't forget.

| Where it works | Every tap in house | Dedicated kitchen tap + fridge | Fridge dispenser or pitcher only |
| Filter replacement | Every 6-12 months | Every 12-24 months | Every 2-6 months |
| Annual cost (replacements) | $100 – $300 | $75 – $200 | $60 – $180 |
| Protects appliances | Yes — chlorine removal | No — drinking water only | No — drinking water only |
| Best for | Shower/skin concerns, appliance life | Best drinking water possible | Bare-minimum drinking water |
