Point-of-entry whole-house water filtration for Las Vegas Valley homes, with sediment and activated carbon stages chosen to match what your water test shows.
Customer financing available. Ask us about options.
Whole-house water filtration is the installation of one or more filter housings or media tanks on the main water line, after the shutoff, so all water entering the home passes through them. Typical stages are a sediment filter to catch particles and an activated carbon stage to reduce chlorine taste and odor. Specialty media can be added where a test confirms a specific contaminant. Filtration does not remove hardness minerals, which is a softener's job.
About 90 percent of valley water comes from Lake Mead and the Colorado River, treated by the Southern Nevada Water Authority with ozone and filtration, then chlorine as it leaves the plants. That chlorine keeps the water safe through the distribution system, but many owners dislike the taste and smell in drinking water and showers. Ordinary activated carbon handles chlorine well, and a sediment stage ahead of it catches particles and protects the carbon. Together they deliver cleaner-tasting water at every fixture, not just one faucet.
Filtration is not softening. Valley water is about 280 parts per million, roughly 16 grains per gallon, and a carbon filter will not stop that hardness from scaling your water heater. If scale is the main complaint, our Water Softener Installation service is the answer, and many homes pair a softener with filtration. If drinking water is the only concern, Reverse Osmosis System Installation under the kitchen sink may cost less. Water Quality Testing first shows which of these you actually need.

Chlorine taste and smell in drinking water and a chlorine odor in the shower, grit or sediment in aerators and appliance screens, cloudy water after work on the street mains, and households who want filtered water at every tap rather than one. Existing filter systems with clogged cartridges or undersized housings that drag down pressure are also common calls.
Call (702) 438-3357. We ask whether the issue is chlorine, sediment or something a test has flagged, and check your main line location.
We choose filter stages and housing size for your peak flow and give a written price before work starts.
We plumb the filters in after the main shutoff with a bypass valve, then flush the new media before putting it into service.
We explain cartridge and media change intervals for your water use and follow up after the job.
Whole-house water filtration typically runs $800 to $2,500 in the Las Vegas Valley, depending on the number of stages, filter capacity and main line access. That is a typical range, not a quote. Active Plumbing gives you a written price before work starts. Most systems are installed in one visit, and cartridge or media changes follow on a schedule set by the system and your water use.
We install filter housings or media tanks on the main line after the shutoff, typically a sediment pre-filter followed by an activated carbon stage for chlorine. Specialty media is added only where a test confirms a need. A bypass valve lets you change cartridges without cutting water to the house. Housings and ports are sized to peak household flow so the system does not choke pressure at busy times. We install whole-house filtration systems from Pentair and Watts.

Las Vegas tap water is safe and treated, but it has a character of its own. About 90 percent comes from Lake Mead and the Colorado River, and the Southern Nevada Water Authority disinfects it with ozone, filters it and adds chlorine as it leaves the plants. That chlorine protects the water all the way through the distribution system, and it is also the taste and smell many owners notice in drinking water and showers.
A whole-house system built for this water is fairly simple. A sediment pre-filter catches particles and protects the next stage, and an ordinary activated carbon stage reduces chlorine taste and odor at every tap. Valley water is chlorinated, so there is no need to pay extra for specialty carbon. Other media is added only where a test confirms a need.
What filtration does not do is soften. The water is very hard, about 280 parts per million, roughly 16 grains per gallon, and carbon will not stop that hardness from scaling a water heater. Many valley homes pair filtration with Water Softener Installation, and if drinking water is the only concern, Reverse Osmosis System Installation under the kitchen sink may cost less. Whole-house water filtration typically runs $800 to $2,500 in the Las Vegas Valley, as a typical range rather than a quote. Call (702) 438-3357.
Installation starts with a look at your main line. We find where the supply enters the house and where the shutoff sits, often in the garage, and check how much room there is for the housings or media tanks. Main line access is one of the things that moves the price, along with the number of stages and filter capacity.
Next comes sizing. Housings and ports are matched to your household's peak flow, so pressure holds up when several fixtures run at once. The system is installed on the main after the shutoff, typically a sediment stage followed by activated carbon, with a bypass valve so cartridges can be changed without cutting water to the house. If a softener is part of the plan, we set the order so the two work together. Any permit is confirmed with the building department for your address, and the work follows the Southern Nevada Amendments to the Uniform Plumbing Code as adopted there.
Most systems go in during one visit, with the water off only for the tie-in. Before leaving, we check every connection for leaks and set a cartridge change schedule, since a neglected filter restricts flow. You get a written price before work starts. Call (702) 438-3357.
Real reviews from customers we've served for Whole-House Water Filtration.
A cracked yard hydrant was wasting water at the dog run. Frost-free hydrant on a new lateral with a drain gravel pit. We were in Scotch Eighty, Las Vegas. The run is dry except when we choose to water.

The upstairs shower went scalding when a toilet filled. A pressure-balance cartridge and new stops behind the trim. That call was from Westleigh. Kids can shower while someone flushes now.

The HOA fountain chlorinator back-fed into a drinking hose bib. A reduced-pressure backflow and a labeled dedicated fountain line. That call was from Summerlin West. Kids can drink from the bib again.

A typical Las Vegas Valley range is $800 to $2,500 depending on stages, capacity and main line access. That is a typical range, not a quote. Active Plumbing gives you a written price before work starts.
No. Valley water is disinfected with ozone and then chlorine, and ordinary activated carbon handles chlorine taste and odor well. There is no need to pay extra for specialty carbon to deal with it.
No. Filtration removes particles and reduces chlorine and some dissolved contaminants. It does not remove calcium and magnesium, so it will not stop scale or change a hardness test. For hardness, a softener or conditioner is the right tool.
If drinking water is the only concern, an under-sink reverse osmosis system often does the job for less. Whole-house filtration makes sense when you want chlorine and sediment removed at showers, laundry and every tap.
It depends on the system and how much water your household uses. Sediment and carbon stages each have their own interval, and we set a schedule at install. A neglected filter tends to restrict flow, which owners often mistake for a pressure problem.
Yes, and in valley water it is a sensible pairing: the softener handles hardness and the filter handles chlorine and sediment. We plan the order and sizing so the two work together.
That depends on the building department for your address, which could be the City of Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, Boulder City or Clark County for unincorporated areas. Active Plumbing confirms the requirement and handles any permit needed.
