Planning tips for this checklist
Start with a water test
The right filtration system depends on the specific contaminant or nuisance issue, not just taste, sales copy, or a generic whole-house package.
Compare maintenance cost
Filter cartridges, salt, UV lamps, media changes, service visits, wastewater, and retesting can matter as much as installation price.
Retest after installation
A post-install test and a filter-change schedule turn a purchase into a maintained system with proof, not just equipment in the basement.
