How much does a whole house water filter and softener cost?
Whole-house water filter and softener bundle pricing depends on water conditions, home size, flow-rate needs, plumbing access, and the technology selected. Aqua General begins with a free on-site water analysis to identify hardness, chlorine, contaminants, and treatment goals before recommending an appropriately sized system. Bundles may include whole-house softening, anti-microbial filtration, reverse osmosis drinking water, installation, and service options.
What is the best whole house water filtration and softener system?
The best whole-house filtration and softener system is the one matched to your actual water chemistry and usage. Aqua General offers AquaGuard® systems with softening, anti-microbial media, chemical reduction, and fine particle filtration, plus optional reverse osmosis for drinking water. A free water analysis helps determine whether you need hardness reduction, chlorine or chloramine reduction, lead reduction, arsenic reduction, or additional treatment.
Can I combine a water softener and filtration system?
Yes. A properly designed bundle can treat water entering the home while adding point-of-use polishing for drinking water. Whole-house equipment addresses hardness, scale, chlorine, chemicals, and plumbing protection, while undersink reverse osmosis targets drinking and cooking water contaminants. Aqua General designs systems around your water test results, home size, and desired level of protection.
What is the difference between softening and filtration?
A water softener primarily reduces hardness minerals like calcium and magnesium that cause scale, spotting, and appliance wear. A filtration system targets contaminants such as chlorine, organic chemicals, fine particles, metals, disinfection by-products, or other compounds depending on the media used. AquaGuard® bundled systems can combine both functions for softer water and broader contaminant reduction.
How does Aqua General choose the right bundle?
Aqua General starts with a free on-site water analysis to identify hardness, chlorine, treatment challenges, and system needs. From there, the team recommends equipment, reviews installation requirements, and schedules professional installation. Most residential installations are planned around plumbing access and system complexity, with ongoing maintenance options available for filters, media, salt delivery, and reverse osmosis service.
What maintenance does a bundled system need?
Maintenance varies by system type and water usage. Softeners need salt replenishment and periodic checks, while reverse osmosis systems require filter and membrane service at recommended intervals. Whole-house filters may need media or cartridge replacement. Aqua General maintains a comprehensive parts inventory and services many major brands, making routine maintenance and repairs easier to schedule.
Do you service systems you did not install?
Yes. Aqua General provides service, repair, and maintenance for water softeners, reverse osmosis systems, commercial softeners, and many filtration brands, including AquaGuard and others. Services include filter changes, media replacement, troubleshooting, and routine maintenance schedules for residential and commercial systems.
What areas do you serve for installation and service?
Aqua General serves the Greater Houston metropolitan area and surrounding counties, including Brazoria, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris, Montgomery, and partial coverage in Chambers, Waller, and Wharton Counties. Because coverage can vary by location, customers should confirm availability when scheduling a free water analysis, installation, maintenance visit, or salt delivery service.
