Clean, fresh water is not only vital for your good health, but it’s also essential for cooking, washing clothes and bathing too.

At B&L Plumbing and Heating, we know water, and we’re ready to help you and your family get the best quality of water every time you turn on the spigot.

Why You Need a Home Water Filtration System

Water filtration ensures that you get the healthiest water for your family and the best water for washing too. Here are some top reasons why you should consider whole house water filtration system installation.

  • Safe Drinking Water -- Just look at the gunk that builds up on faucets and in your pipes and you’ll wonder how healthy it is to drink the water coming out. It’s not. Filtration gives you safer drinking water than what you’re probably getting now.
  • Better for the Environment -- Because so many people don’t like drinking their tap water, they buy bottled water. Plastic waste doesn’t get recycled as much as it should and this plastic ends up in landfills and the ocean.
  • Better Skin -- Hard water makes for dry, itchy, irritated skin. With filters, you get water that leaves your skin smooth and clean
  • Softer Clothes -- Are your clothes stiff when they come out of the washer? If so, hard water is likely the culprit. Filtered water makes your clothes soft and helps them to last longer.

How Long Does a Water Filter Last?

Depending on the system you install, you will need to replace filters either every 3 to 6 months or 9 to 12 months. Experts say that even with a basic system, you should be able to enjoy clean, fresh drinking water for about 3 months before replacing the filter, and the tank should last up to 10 years. Both of these parts are easily replaced and will let you continue to enjoy the best water for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

Signs of a burst pipe include a sudden drop in water pressure, unusually high water bills, wet spots on walls or ceilings, and the sound of running water when every fixture is off. Discolored or bulging drywall is another common warning sign. B&L Plumbing responds to burst pipe calls throughout Colorado and the greater Colorado Springs area.

HVAC zoning is worth it for larger homes or multi-story houses with uneven temperatures, since it lets each area run independently instead of heating or cooling the whole home at once. Installation typically costs $1,700 to $4,000 but can lower energy bills over time. B&L Plumbing installs zoning systems for homes in the Colorado Springs, Colorado area.

Zoning an existing HVAC system requires adding motorized dampers inside the ductwork and a control panel to manage them, which is technical work best left to a licensed HVAC contractor rather than a DIY project. Improper zoning can restrict airflow and strain the system. B&L Plumbing designs and installs HVAC zoning for homeowners in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

A whole-house water filtration system typically costs between $1,000 and $4,000 installed, depending on the filter media used and what a water test shows for sediment, chlorine, or minerals. Basic single-stage sediment filters cost less than multi-stage systems. B&L Plumbing tests water and installs filtration systems sized for households throughout Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Most whole-house filtration systems need a filter change every 3 to 6 months, though sediment-heavy well water can require changes as often as every 60 days. Neglecting filter changes lets contaminants build up and reduces water pressure throughout the home. B&L Plumbing sets up a filter replacement schedule for customers in Colorado Springs, Colorado based on their water test results.

A VAV, or variable air volume box, is controlled by a thermostat and a building automation system that signals a damper inside the box to open or close, adjusting how much conditioned air flows into a room. Commercial buildings commonly use VAV systems for zoned comfort. B&L Plumbing services commercial HVAC controls, including VAV systems, in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Fogging, which disperses a fine mist to sanitize ductwork or treat odors, is not necessary for most homes and is typically reserved for specific situations like mold remediation or post-construction cleanup rather than routine maintenance. A standard duct cleaning is usually sufficient. B&L Plumbing evaluates whether fogging or standard duct service fits a home in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

VAV controls are the thermostats, sensors, and dampers that regulate a variable air volume system, adjusting the amount of conditioned air delivered to each zone based on temperature demand rather than running at one constant airflow. This setup improves comfort and efficiency in larger buildings. B&L Plumbing maintains VAV controls for commercial clients across Colorado Springs, Colorado.”
