The water treatment needs of your home can be solved by installing a new water filtration system. This requires determining what impurities are present in your water first. If you have hard water at your home, then contact the professionals at Lambert Plumbing & Heating for a consultation. Many homes throughout Vancouver, BC and the Lower Mainland deal with water quality issues related to hard water, aging municipal infrastructure, or older in-home plumbing, and a properly designed filtration system can address these concerns at the source rather than simply masking the symptoms.
Dealing with more than just water quality issues in your home? Our licensed and insured team also provides comprehensive residential plumbing services throughout Vancouver, BC.
Water filtration systems are a whole-house design. The benefit of a whole house design is that you will not need to have adapters mounted to a faucet to filter the water. Your main water line connects into the filtration system. This provides filtered water for any faucet in your home. You will have clean water to drink, wash dishes, and to shower or bathe, all without needing to install or maintain separate filters at each fixture.
Signs You May Need a Water Filtration System
Many Vancouver, BC homeowners aren't sure whether their water quality issues call for a filtration system. Common signs that your home could benefit from a whole-house water filtration system include:
- Water that smells or tastes like chlorine, sulfur, or metal, which can make everyday drinking and cooking water unpleasant
- Cloudy, discolored, or hazy water coming from your taps, which can point to sediment or mineral content
- Spots or film left behind on dishes, glassware, or fixtures after washing
- Dry skin or hair after showering or bathing, a common sign of hard water
- Buildup or scale forming around faucets, showerheads, or appliances over time
- Frequent need to replace faucet-mounted filters that never seem to fully solve the problem
If you're noticing any of these signs, a consultation with our team can help determine which type of filtration system best fits your home's water quality and usage. In many cases, homeowners are surprised to learn just how much a whole-house system can improve both water quality and the overall feel of their home's plumbing.
Types of Water Filtration Systems We Install
There are several types of water filtration systems available, and the right choice depends on your home's specific water quality issues:
- Whole-house sediment filters, which remove larger particles like sand, rust, and dirt before they enter your plumbing, protecting fixtures and appliances further down the line
- Carbon filtration systems, which help remove chlorine, odors, and certain chemicals for better-tasting and better-smelling water throughout the home
- Reverse osmosis systems, which provide highly purified water, often installed at a specific point of use like a kitchen faucet for drinking and cooking
- Water softeners, which are designed specifically to address hard water and mineral buildup rather than filtration alone, and are often paired with a filtration system for comprehensive water treatment
Our technicians will test your water and walk you through which option, or combination of options, makes the most sense for your household. Because every home's water supply is a little different, we don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to filtration, and we'll always explain our recommendation in plain language before any work begins.
In many cases, a combination of systems works best. For example, a whole-house sediment filter paired with a carbon filtration system can address both particulate matter and taste or odor issues, while a reverse osmosis system at the kitchen sink provides an extra level of purification for drinking water specifically. Our team will always explain the reasoning behind our recommendation so you understand exactly what you're paying for and why.
Benefits of a Whole-House Water Filtration System
Installing a whole-house water filtration system offers several advantages over relying on individual faucet-mounted filters:
- Filtered water at every faucet in your home, not just one location, including bathrooms, laundry, and outdoor spigots
- No need to regularly purchase and replace faucet-mounted filter cartridges
- Better-tasting and better-smelling water for drinking, cooking, and bathing
- Reduced scale and mineral buildup in pipes, fixtures, and appliances, which can help reduce maintenance costs over time
- Potential to extend the lifespan of water-using appliances like water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines
- More consistent water quality throughout the entire home, rather than at just one tap
You can rest assured that our team of expertly trained technicians can install a new water filtration system in just a few hours. We have systems that are designed for any need and can fit almost anywhere. Most systems are installed on a wall or in the corner of a basement. The system does not need to be located where the water line enters your home, which gives us flexibility when working around existing plumbing layouts in Vancouver-area homes of all ages, from older character homes to newer builds.
Water Filtration System Repair & Maintenance
If you have an existing water treatment system in your home that is old or no longer efficient, then call Lambert Plumbing & Heating. We will come out to your home and perform an evaluation. We will test the water to determine mineral content and the amount of dissolved solids. This tells us the best type of water filtration system for your home, or whether your current system simply needs to be serviced.
If you have a newer water treatment system installed and the water tastes bad, then the system may need to be repaired. We will examine the system to see if there is a problem that needs to be fixed. The type of repair will depend on the parts that need to be replaced. A simple repair may only be needed to restore treated water to your home. Routine maintenance, such as filter changes and periodic system checks, can also help prevent bigger issues down the road and keep your water quality consistent year-round, especially in older homes where mineral buildup tends to accumulate more quickly.
Customer satisfaction is our main goal. Contact us today to schedule an appointment, or if you only want to ask a question or two.
