What our water filtration installation includes
Every filtration job starts with a water test and ends with a walkthrough. The list below covers what comes standard on a whole house or under sink install.
Work order
Water Filtration Systems- On-site water testing: We test hardness, chlorine, total dissolved solids, and sediment at your tap and outdoor spigot. You see the results before we recommend anything. The test takes about 15 minutes and gives us the numbers we need to size the system correctly.
- System sizing and quote: We match the filter to your household size, water pressure, and pipe material. You get a written quote listing the exact model, cartridge type, and labor. No vague estimates. If a softener or reverse osmosis unit makes sense, we explain why and what it adds to the cost.
- Code-correct installation: We cut into the main line and install the filter housing or tank with copper pipe or PEX tubing. Every joint is soldered or pressed to Texas plumbing code. We install a bypass valve and a shutoff valve so you can service the system without losing water to the whole house.
- Flush and pressure test: After install, we flush the system for 10 to 15 minutes to clear carbon fines and air. Then we pressure-test every joint and check the static pressure with a gauge. You get a leak-free system running between 50 and 70 PSI, which is the safe range for fixtures and appliances.
- Filter change walkthrough: We show you how to change cartridges, where the bypass valve is, and what maintenance looks like. You get the model numbers and a change schedule based on your water test. We also leave a sticker inside the cabinet with the part numbers so reordering is easy.

Water filtration system installation schertz TX explained
Filtration is not a gadget. It protects your pipes, your appliances, and your health. Do it once, do it right, and you stop thinking about your water.
Water filtration system installation schertz TX is the process of mounting, plumbing, and commissioning a filtration unit on your main water line or at a point of use so that sediment, chlorine, hardness minerals, and other contaminants are removed before the water reaches your fixtures. A whole house system ties in at the main shutoff valve, usually with copper pipe or PEX tubing and a bypass loop for easy cartridge changes. Point-of-use units, like an under sink water filter schertz TX, mount on the cold line feeding a single faucet and often pair with a dedicated drinking water tap.
Homes across Schertz pull from the same regional water supply, but what happens after the meter varies block by block. Older neighborhoods near the 78154 corridor still have galvanized or original copper runs that shed rust and scale, while newer builds off 78108 often deal with hard water that leaves spots on glass and shortens water heater life. If you have been searching for water filtration near me schertz and getting generic results, that is because water quality here is not one-size-fits-all. We test your actual water before we quote a system.
- What it is
- A filter on your main line or at one tap.
- When it helps
- Hard water, chlorine taste, or sediment.
- What you get
- Cleaner water at every fixture.
How our filtration installation process works
We keep the job simple and predictable. You get a clear plan, a tidy install, and a walkthrough before we pack up.
Tools and methods we use
Each method answers a different question. Together they leave very little to guess.
Cuts copper pipe cleanly so the new filter tie-in fits square. A square cut means a better solder joint and no leaks. We use a wheel cutter for copper and a ratcheting cutter for PEX tubing.
Used to sweat copper fittings on the main line. We solder every copper joint to code, which gives a permanent, leak-free connection. For PEX, we switch to a press tool instead.
Crimps PEX tubing and press fittings in seconds. It is faster than soldering and just as reliable when used correctly. We use it on homes with PEX plumbing or when a torch is not safe near framing.
Measures static water pressure at the hose bib or a test port. We use it to confirm your pressure is between 50 and 70 PSI. High pressure can damage filter housings, so we check it on every install.

How filtration work runs in Schertz
Schertz sits in Bexar County, and the water here comes from a mix of regional sources that vary in hardness and chlorine levels. Homes built before 2000 often still have original copper or galvanized lines that shed rust and scale, especially in the older sections near 78154.
Schertz Heights
Older homes here often have copper lines with scale buildup. We test hardness and check the main shutoff valve before recommending a system.
Cibolo Valley Ranch
Newer construction with PEX plumbing. We tie into the main line with press fittings and set the filter housing where it stays out of the freeze zone.

PhotoHard water spots gone in Schertz
Before: A homeowner in 78154 was scrubbing white scale off shower glass every week. The water heater was popping and the dishwasher left a film on dishes. Hardness tested at 11 grains per gallon.
After: We installed a whole house filter with a softener and flushed the water heater. Hardness dropped to 1 grain per gallon. The spots stopped forming, the popping stopped, and the dishwasher now runs without a rinse aid.
Clean drinking water in Cibolo
Before: A family of four in Cibolo was buying four cases of bottled water a month because the tap tasted like chlorine. They had no under sink filter and no whole house system.
After: We installed a reverse osmosis system under the kitchen sink with a dedicated drinking faucet. Total dissolved solids dropped from 310 ppm to 28 ppm.
Leaking filter housing repaired
Before: A homeowner in Universal City found water pooling in the kitchen cabinet under the sink. The filter housing had a hairline crack and was spraying a fine mist every time the faucet ran.
After: We replaced the cracked housing with a heavier-duty model, reseated all fittings, and pressure-tested the line. The cabinet stayed dry through a full pressure test at 65 PSI. No more mist, no more puddles.
Water problems we solve in Schertz homes
Most filtration calls start with a symptom the homeowner can see or taste.
White crust on faucets and shower glass
Hard water leaves calcium and magnesium deposits that etch glass, clog aerators, and scale up your water heater.
Tap water tastes like chlorine or dirt
Chlorine and sediment make water unpleasant to drink, and many families switch to bottled water.
Low water pressure at every faucet
A clogged filter cartridge or a failing pressure regulator drops pressure across the whole house. Showering takes longer and appliances like the dishwasher cycle poorly.
Filter housing leaking in the cabinet
A cracked housing or a loose fitting can spray water into a cabinet and rot the cabinet floor.
Why Schertz homeowners add filtration
A filtration system is not a luxury upgrade. It is a practical fix for water that tastes off, spots your dishes, or slowly clogs your fixtures.
Better tasting water
A reverse osmosis system installation schertz removes chlorine, sediment, and dissolved solids that give tap water a flat or chemical taste.
Longer appliance life
Hard water scales up water heater tanks, dishwashers, and washing machine valves.
Fewer plumbing repairs
Sediment and chlorine attack rubber seals, valve cartridges, and toilet fill valves.
Cleaner showers and laundry
Chlorine strips oils from skin and hair, and hard water leaves soap scum on glass and tile.

What Schertz customers say
We had terrible hard water spots on every glass and the water heater was making popping sounds. Pro Plumbing Schertz tested our water, showed us the hardness number, and installed a whole house filter with a softener. The spots are gone and the popping stopped. They also put in a reverse osmosis tap at the kitchen sink. My kids actually drink water now instead of asking for juice.
Our under sink filter started spraying water into the cabinet on a Sunday. I called and they had a tech out the same afternoon. He found a cracked housing, replaced it, and checked the whole line for leaks. He also showed me how to shut off the valve if it ever happens again. Fair price and no mess left behind.
I got three quotes for a whole house system and Pro Plumbing Schertz was the only one that actually tested my water first. The other two just tried to sell me the biggest system. They recommended a carbon filter and a softener, which was less than I expected to spend. Install was clean, all copper pipe, and they walked me through the cartridge change.

Still have a question?
Describe what you are seeing and we will point you to the right next step.
876383746The price depends on the system type, whether we need to run new pipe, and if you add a softener. A basic carbon block whole house filter sits at the low end. A system with a softener, reverse osmosis, and a dedicated drinking faucet sits at the high end. We quote the exact number after testing your water.
The whole house unit handles chlorine, sediment, and taste for showers and laundry. The reverse osmosis system installation schertz removes dissolved solids for drinking and cooking. If your water tests hard above 7 grains per gallon, we add a softener. The right answer depends on your test results, not a sales script.
You need one if you want filtered water at every tap, not just the kitchen. Schertz water is treated and safe, but it still carries chlorine and sediment that affect taste, smell, and appliance life. A whole house water filter installation schertz Texas protects your water heater, dishwasher, and washing machine from scale and grit. If you only care about drinking water, an under sink unit is enough. We test and tell you which one fits.
Most whole house carbon cartridges last six to twelve months, and reverse osmosis membranes last two to three years. Sediment pre-filters often need changing every three to six months because Schertz water carries grit that clogs them faster. We set you up with a schedule based on your water test and your household size. If you notice pressure dropping at the faucets, that is your cue to check the pre-filter.
