How Much Does a Whole House Water Filter Cost? Amwater Complete Guide

Install water filtration system

• Whole house water filtration systems are designed to filter all the water in your home, providing clean and safe water for drinking, cooking, and bathing.
• A whole house system is typically installed by professionals with plumbing expertise, and can be more expensive than installing an under-sink system. These systems help protect household appliances, pipes, and plumbing systems from mineral buildup, scale, and damage, extending the lifespan of dishwashers, washing machines, water heaters, and your home's plumbing infrastructure.
• However, whole house systems provide comprehensive filtration and can be more cost-effective in the long run, as they eliminate the need for multiple point-of-use filters.
• It’s essential to consider the installation costs and requirements when choosing a whole house water filtration system. Installation may require running new water filtration lines, which can affect the overall installation cost.

Extra Cost Factors to Consider

The cost of a whole house water filtration system can vary depending on several factors, including the type of system, system capacity, and installation costs. Other factors, such as home size, plumbing complexity, and location, can also influence the cost and choice of a water filtration system.

Other cost factors to consider include the cost of replacement filters, maintenance and repair costs, and the cost of any additional features or upgrades.

• Electrical Outlet: Your whole-house filtration system requires an electrical outlet placed within 10 to 15 feet of the unit's tank. Should an outlet not be readily available, the cost for installing one typically ranges from $100 to $250.
• Water-Filtration System Repairs:Whole-house water filtration system repairs depend on the size, model type, and specific issues found with your filtration system. While cost factors may vary, they typically range from $50 to $600.
• Drywall Repair: The cost to repair holes in sheetrock made to install water filtration lines ranges from $50 to $300.
• Filter Replacements: Maintaining performance is simple. Filters, which cost between $20 and $100 each, generally need replacing every 4 to 6 months. The exact lifespan depends on your water quality and usage.

Are Whole-House Water Filtration Systems Worth It?

Whole house water filtration systems play a crucial role in ensuring that every tap in your home delivers clean, safe water. By removing impurities, chemicals, sediments, and microorganisms, these systems help protect your family’s health and improve overall water quality. Unfiltered water can contribute to skin irritation, worsen respiratory conditions, and lead to other health concerns—issues that a whole-home filtration system can effectively reduce.

Beyond protecting your family, whole-house filtration also benefits your home’s plumbing and appliances. Minerals and sediments in untreated water can accumulate inside pipes, faucets, dishwashers, and water heaters, gradually causing corrosion or blockages. Installing a whole-house system helps prevent this buildup, extending the lifespan of your plumbing system and appliances—and saving you from costly repairs in the future.
