What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is a Combo Water Softener and Filter System?
A combo water softener and filter system combines hardness treatment with filtration for improved taste, clarity, and protection. It typically:
Uses a softener to reduce calcium and magnesium that cause hardness and scale
Adds one or more filtration stages (such as sediment and carbon) to help with particles, chlorine, and some tastes/odors
Treats water at or near the main entry point, so improved water reaches showers, sinks, appliances, and laundry
The exact configuration depends on your water quality goals and home plumbing.

Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
Note any white spots, scale, or soap scum on fixtures and glass.
Pay attention to taste or odor issues (chlorine smell, “flat” taste, discoloration).
Think about where your main water line and water heater are located—that’s often where equipment goes.
Decide if you want whole-house filtration, drinking water focus, or both.
Take a few photos of your existing plumbing setup near the water heater or main shutoff if you can.
Call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357 and ask about combo water softener and filter system installation; share your home size, number of bathrooms, and main water concerns.
Common Situations Where a Combo System Makes Sense
You see hard water spots and scale, and dislike the taste or smell of your tap water.
You’re already considering a softener and figure, “I might as well improve overall water quality too.”
You want to protect new fixtures, remodels, or appliances while upgrading drinking and bathing water.
You’re tired of pitcher filters and faucet filters and want a whole-home solution.
You’ve had water quality tests done and want a tailored combination of softening and filtration.
Water Quality & Home Use Review
We discuss your water concerns (spots, taste, odor, staining), review household size and usage, and evaluate where your main water line, water heater, and existing equipment are.
System Design & Component Selection
We recommend an appropriate softener plus filtration setup—which may include sediment and/or carbon filtration—and plan equipment placement, sequence, and service clearances.
Plumbing Tie-In & Bypass Setup
We shut off the water, cut into the main supply, and install a bypass and isolation valves so you can service the system or revert to unconditioned water if ever needed.
Installation of Softener & Filter Stages
We install the softener, brine tank, and filter housings/tanks, make secure water line connections, and route drain lines (for the softener and any backwashing filters) to approved discharge points.
Startup, Flushing & Configuration
We flush filters, start up the softener, and configure hardness, regeneration, and, where applicable, backwash settings. We then check flow, pressure, and for any leaks.
Homeowner Walkthrough & Care Guidance
We show you how to check filters and salt, use bypass valves, and understand basic system indicators, and we explain recommended maintenance and replacement intervals for filter media and cartridges.
What’s Included
A typical combo water softener and filter system installation may include:
On-site evaluation of plumbing layout, access, and water concerns
Recommendation and layout of softener and filtration stages (sequence and placement)
Tie-in to the main water line with a bypass/isolation assembly
Installation of softener, brine tank, and filter components, including drains where needed
System startup, programming, flushing, and performance testing
Homeowner orientation on filter changes, salt checks, and basic operation
(Exact scope depends on the type of filters, system size, and your existing plumbing.)
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Total cost depends on:
Number and type of filter stages: Simple sediment + carbon vs more advanced configurations.
Softener size and features: Standard vs high-efficiency or higher-capacity units.
Location and access: Open garage or side yard vs tight or complex mechanical areas.
Existing plumbing condition: Clean, accessible tie-in vs corroded or non-ideal setups that need extra work.
We’ll provide a clear, written estimate before work begins and outline what’s included, what’s optional, and expected installation timing (many standard installs are completed the same day once started).
Insurance & Claims Help
Combo softener + filter installations are usually planned upgrades, not insurance-covered items—but sometimes pre-existing leaks, corrosion, or water damage come into play.
We can help on the plumbing side by:
Noting any visible issues we find with old valves, fittings, or lines during the installation.
Providing itemized invoices and estimates that clearly distinguish between repair work and upgrade work.
Answering plumbing-related questions from your adjuster, property manager, or restoration contractor if there was a leak or damage involved.
Your insurance company and policy always decide what’s covered; our role is to provide accurate plumbing documentation and findings.
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
A combo softener + filter is powerful, but:
It doesn’t automatically address every possible contaminant—some water issues may require specialized treatment (like RO for drinking taps or specific media).
It won’t reverse existing heavy scale buildup, though it can help slow future deposits.
Some very tight spaces or unusual layouts may require additional re-piping or creative placement.
If you prefer unfiltered or unsoftened water for specific uses (like some hose bibs), additional plumbing branches may be needed.
We’ll be straightforward about what your combo system will do well, and where additional options might be worth considering.
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Code-compliant installation: All connections and drains installed per Nevada plumbing code and manufacturer guidelines.
Quality valves and fittings: We use reliable, serviceable valves, unions, and supports for easier future maintenance.
Logical, neat layout: Equipment is installed with access, labeling, and serviceability in mind.
Clear homeowner education: We ensure you understand how to change filters, monitor salt, and use bypasses before we leave.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need both a softener and a filter?
If you want to address hardness plus taste/odor and sediment, a combo system is often the most efficient whole-house approach.
Can I add a filter to an existing softener?
Sometimes yes. In other cases, it makes sense to rework the layout or upgrade to a more integrated combo setup. We’ll look at your current system and advise.
Will this help my drinking water too?
Whole-house filtration can improve taste and clarity at every tap. For specialized drinking needs (like RO), we can discuss additional options.
How often do the filters need to be changed?
It depends on filter type, water quality, and usage, but we’ll give you clear guidance and can help with future service if you prefer.
Will my water pressure drop?
Properly sized and installed systems should maintain good pressure. Undersized or poorly installed units can cause issues—which is why design and sizing matter.
