Overview
What's actually in your tap water and what to filter for
Many people buy bottled water instead of using the tap — but continually buying bottled water gets expensive. There is a better way.
Installing a water filtration system brings you the same great taste as bottled water while saving you money. Over a year or two, a home water filtration system is significantly cheaper than continuing to buy bottled water — and it delivers clean, crisp water from every tap in your home.
Why homeowners across North Louisiana choose filtered water
- Whole-house filtration for cleaner water at every tap
- Better-tasting water without the cost of bottled water
- Water softener installation to fight hard-water buildup
- Professional sizing and installation for your home
Three levels of filtration to consider
- Whole-home filtration — filter at the point where water enters the house; every tap gets filtered water. Best for chlorine, sediment, and general taste improvement. $1,450–$3,850 installed depending on system
- Under-sink RO (reverse osmosis) — 4 or 5-stage system under the kitchen sink with a dedicated drinking tap. Removes 95–99% of TDS, heavy metals, nitrate, pharmaceuticals, and PFAS. $485–$1,250 installed. The best drinking water you can have at home
- Refrigerator or carafe filtration — basic chlorine and taste reduction for drinking water only. $45–$150 but doesn't filter the rest of the house
We often recommend a combination for North Louisiana homes — whole-home filtration to remove chlorine at every tap, plus an RO under the kitchen sink for drinking and cooking water. Total install $2,000–$4,500 for both, protecting appliances from chlorine corrosion and giving you restaurant-quality drinking water.
What whole-home filtration actually removes
Depends on the system. A standard activated-carbon whole-home filter removes chlorine (>95%), taste and odor issues, and light sediment. A catalytic carbon system adds chloramine removal. Multi-stage systems can add sediment pre-filters, heavy metal removal (KDF media), and bacterial protection (UV stage). Does not remove hardness — that's a softener's job. Does not remove TDS significantly — that's RO's job.

Annual filter replacement coordination and priority scheduling. For a family actively buying bottled water, an RO system pays for itself in 1–2 years.

Warning signs
Reasons to Consider Water Filtration
Water filtration is a quality-of-life upgrade. 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 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 an 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, 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. MJP Service Club coordinates this automatically so you don't forget.

FAQ
Water Filtration FAQs
Most whole-house water filtration systems last 10–15 years, though individual filters and cartridges need replacement every 3–12 months depending on usage and water quality. Water softener resin typically lasts 10–20 years.
