What Types of Water Filtration Systems Do Lubbock Homes Use?
Seven filtration options cover the whole house, the sink, the shower and the refrigerator: whole house filters, under sink filters, sediment filters, carbon block filters, shower filters, refrigerator filter replacement and multi-stage filtration.
Whole House Water Filter
A whole house water filter treats water at the main line so every tap and appliance gets filtered water. Typical media remove sediment, chlorine, taste and odor. It protects plumbing, appliances and fixtures, and it pairs with a softener because filtration does not remove hardness. A free test shows which media your water needs.
Under Sink Water Filter
An under sink water filter treats the water at one faucet, usually for drinking and cooking. It installs inside the cabinet with a dedicated faucet or a connection to the existing tap. It gives better-tasting water without treating the whole house.
Sediment Filter Installation
A sediment filter traps sand, silt and rust particles. Filters are rated in microns, and a lower number catches finer particles. Sediment filtration often comes first in a multi-stage system because it protects the filters behind it. Homes on wells or with older pipes benefit most.
Carbon Block Filter
A carbon block filter uses compressed activated carbon to reduce chlorine, taste, odor and certain organic compounds. It improves the taste and smell of tap water. Carbon filters need replacement on a schedule because the media fills up. We also handle activated carbon filter replacement. Carbon filter cartridges are typically replaced every 6 to 12 months.
Shower Filter Installation
A shower filter installs between the pipe and the showerhead to reduce chlorine at the point of use. People with dry skin or sensitive hair often choose it. It does not soften water, so hard-water spotting and soap film remain without a softener.
Refrigerator Filter Replacement
Refrigerator filters improve taste and clarity of ice and water. Manufacturers commonly recommend replacement about every six months, and the right interval depends on the model. We replace filters and reset the indicator.
Multi-Stage Filtration
A multi-stage system combines sediment, carbon and specialty media in sequence, each stage protecting the next. It suits homes with several water concerns at once, such as sediment plus chlorine plus odor.
Backwash Filter Systems
A backwash filter system cleans its own media by reversing flow on a schedule, which flushes captured particles to the drain. It lasts longer between media changes than a cartridge filter, and it suits whole-house use with higher flow.
Not a good fit if… your main concern is hard water. Filters do not soften. Lubbock’s supply is roughly 60 to 70 percent Ogallala groundwater, according to City of Lubbock water quality reports, and hardness needs a softener or conditioner.
Does filtration replace a water softener?
No. Filters remove particles and some chemicals, and softeners remove hardness minerals. Many Lubbock homes need both. See our water treatment services for how they fit together.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I replace a water filter?
Replacement depends on the filter type and your water. Sediment and carbon cartridges commonly need changing every few months to a year. Whole-house pre-filter cartridges are typically replaced every 6 to 12 months.
Will a whole house filter lower my water pressure?
A correctly sized filter keeps pressure steady. A clogged or undersized one reduces it, so we size to your flow.
Do I need a filter if I have a water softener?
Often yes. A softener removes hardness, and a filter removes sediment and chlorine that can also damage resin.
What does a shower filter remove?
It reduces chlorine. It does not remove hardness minerals.
What does filter installation cost in Lubbock?
Whole-house carbon filtration and UV add-ons typically run $1,200 to $2,500 installed. Our estimate is free and itemized.
