Water Filtration

Call 913-393-9586

Pure, clean water. From the time you take a shower early in the morning, to when you get your child that last drink of water before bedtime, that’s what you want to be flowing from your faucets. However, in many Kansas City area homes, this is not always the case. If you have concerns about the quality of water in your home, or want to make sure that your water quality is as pure as possible, give LBA a call. Our plumbers are water quality experts and will recommend and install a water filtration system to ensure clean, healthy water for drinking, bathing and all of your household water needs.

What is the most effective water filtration system?

The most effective water filtration system depends on your specific water quality and concerns. For overall purification, a reverse osmosis system is highly effective, removing a wide range of contaminants, including heavy metals and microorganisms. Whole-house carbon filters are excellent at removing chlorine, sediment, and improving taste and odor. UV purifiers are effective against bacteria and viruses. For portable options, certified NSF/ANSI filters like activated carbon or ceramic filters can be efficient. It's essential to have your water tested to identify contaminants and choose a filtration system that best suits your needs.

Is it worth it to get a water filtration system?

Getting a water filtration system is often worth it for improved water quality and health. It can remove various contaminants, including chlorine, heavy metals, sediment, and microorganisms, making your water safer and better tasting. The decision to invest in one depends on your water source's quality and your health concerns. If you have well water or live in an area with known water issues, it's particularly valuable. It can also reduce the use of bottled water, saving money and reducing plastic waste. Ultimately, it's an investment in your well-being and environmental sustainability.

How much does it cost to install a water filtration system?

Basic under-sink or faucet-mounted filters can cost as little as $20 to $100, including installation. Whole-house systems that treat all water entering your home can range from $1,000 to $3,000 or more, including installation. High-end or specialty systems like reverse osmosis or UV purifiers can cost several thousand dollars. Additionally, ongoing maintenance costs for filter replacement should be considered. It's advisable to obtain quotes from professionals to get a more accurate estimate based on your specific needs.

What is the best water filtration system for someone who is immunocompromised?

Selecting a water filtration system for an immunocompromised individual requires careful consideration. Options include Reverse Osmosis (RO) and Ultrafiltration (UF) systems, which effectively remove contaminants like bacteria and viruses. Activated carbon filters target chlorine and heavy metals, while UV purifiers disinfect water by deactivating pathogens. Whole house systems ensure clean water throughout, while point-of-use filters offer targeted solutions. Factors such as filtration level, maintenance, and costs should guide the choice. Consulting water quality experts or healthcare professionals can help make the best decision.

Our Water Filtration Systems Include:

Reverse Osmosis Filters: A reverse osmosis system can remove up to 99% of contaminants from your water. The system’s primary feature is a reverse osmosis membrane, which is like a fine screen, but with openings so tiny, only pure water molecules can pass through. The system also includes additional filters to make your water taste pure and clean. These systems typically are installed under a sink or other single site in your home.

Whole House Water Filters: Unlike a reverse osmosis filter, which is typically installed only at a single faucet, a whole-house filter is installed at the main water line and filters all of the water throughout your home. Whole house filters allow for greater water flow but may not filter as many contaminants as a reverse osmosis system.

Water Softeners: A water softener technically does not filter the water but instead removes minerals from hard water (often when your water comes from a natural well instead of a municipal supply.) You can use a water softener in combination with a water filtration system. Still, the primary function of a water softener is to make washing clothes easier and bathing more pleasant and effective. A water softener also reduces mineral stains on your clothes, shower, bathtub and toilets.

What type of filtration system is right for me?

Choosing the right filtration system is highly dependent on your needs. The “best” plan can be entirely different for different homeowners. In addition, the different types of filtration systems are often used in combination to address multiple problems.

A professional filtration and installation company can help you make recommendations based on factors like:

  • Contaminant levels. Different systems eliminate different types of contaminants, like solids, metals or organisms.
  • Your water source. For example, hard water can make it difficult for soap to lather and leave unsightly stains on fixtures.
  • Your individual goals. For example, a whole-house filtration system may be overkill in some situations but recommended for some others. You may want clean water for washing dishes and clothes and bathing, or you may only be concerned with a single source for great-tasting, healthy drinking water.
