Whole-House Water Filtration for Reno City Water
Treat every drop of water entering your home to address chlorine, chloramine, taste, and odor from the first tap to the last.
What Whole-House Filtration Does
A whole-house water filtration system is installed where water enters your home, so every tap, shower, and appliance receives filtered water. For homes on Reno city water, that means addressing the chlorine, chloramine, taste, and odor that municipal treatment can leave behind.
Unlike a single tap filter, whole-house filtration treats all the water in your home, not just what you drink. We base what we recommend on what your free water test actually shows.
Who whole-house filtration is right for
- Reno and Sparks homes on city water who notice chlorine taste or odor
- Households who want better water at every tap, not just the kitchen
- Homes with dry-feeling skin or hair after showering on city water
- Anyone who wants a recommendation based on their own water test
What Whole-House Filtration Addresses
Reno city water is treated and safe, but treatment can leave chlorine, chloramine, and taste and odor issues. These are the concerns we most often target with whole-house filtration.
Chlorine
Added by municipal treatment plants to disinfect water, chlorine can linger at the tap and affect how your water smells and tastes.
Chloramine
Some utilities use chloramine instead of chlorine. It lasts longer in the system and can be harder to address with a basic carbon filter.
Taste
Even safe city water can taste flat or chemical. Whole-house filtration improves taste at every tap, not just the kitchen sink.
Odor
A chemical or bleach smell from the tap is a common reason Reno homeowners ask about whole-house filtration.
What we recommend depends on your free water test. Book your free water test to find out what is in your water.
How Water Flows Through Your Home
A whole-house system treats water where it enters, so every tap gets the same filtered water. Here is how the flow works.
- 1Stage 1
Water Enters the Home
City water arrives at your home already treated by the utility, but it can still carry chlorine, chloramine, and taste and odor issues.
- 2Stage 2
Whole-House Filtration
A filtration system installed where water enters the home treats every drop before it reaches your taps, showers, and appliances.
- 3Stage 3
Cleaner Water at Every Tap
From the kitchen to the bathrooms, the water you use for drinking, cooking, and bathing is filtered at the source.
How Reno Water Guy Approaches It
Every recommendation starts with a free water test, and you work with one local specialist from the test through follow-up.
Free In-Home Water Test
We test your water on site at no cost and explain what we find in plain English, with no pressure.
Personalized Recommendation
Based on your actual results, we recommend the right system for your home, never a one-size-fits-all package.
Professional Installation
Installation and ongoing service are handled by our local installation partner, Pure Water Systems of Nevada.
Whole-House or Point-of-Use?
Whole-house filtration treats all the water entering your home. Point-of-use systems, like reverse osmosis, treat water at a single tap for drinking and cooking. Many Reno homeowners pair the two.

What Northern Nevada Customers Say
Real feedback from homeowners who worked with Reno Water Guy.
We bought the Reionator Plus Ultra from Pure. Can't believe the difference in taste and quality of our water! Kawika was great to work with and answered all of our questions. Jose did the installation in a most professional manner. Over all we found it to be an exceptional experience!

What a great experience with Kawika at Pure Water Systems of NV! We're new to the area and have never had a water softener before. I got a couple of quotes, but it was pretty clear that this was the company we wanted to go with. Kawika was so thorough explaining everything, testing our water, and sharing the various options. And coming back after a couple of weeks to check in and test our water to make sure everything was working properly, and re-explaining maintenance. It's great to have options for DIY maintenance or full service. And now we love our whole house system and reverse osmosis in the kitchen for drinking water. Highly recommend!

I had a great experience with Pure Water Co. in Nevada. From start to finish, Kawika and Zack were professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain the different options available without making the process feel overwhelming. I especially appreciated their knowledge of water quality and their willingness to answer my questions thoroughly. The service was professional, the installation was handled well, and I felt confident that I was getting a system that was appropriate for my home and our water conditions here in Nevada. Zack, thank you for your help with the spigot.
