Water Filtration at a Glance
What you need to know about water filtration systems
What is a water filtration system?
Equipment that removes impurities such as lead, arsenic, chlorine, fluoride and pesticides from your water. It can treat all the water entering a building (point of entry) or the water at a single tap (point of use).
When do you need one?
When your water quality is below average, when it tastes or smells off, or when your current system can’t keep up with the capacity your property needs.
How Fraser helps
We evaluate what’s in your water, explain your options, install the system that fits your needs and budget, and advise you on how often to change the filters.
Is It Time?
Signs you may need a new water filtration system
San Diego is said to have some of the best-tasting water in the country, but not every property enjoys it. Consider an upgrade if you notice any of these.
Water quality is below average
The water at your taps doesn't taste, look or smell the way it should.
Your system can't keep up
Your property needs more filtration capacity than the current system provides.
Scale building up in pipes
Pipe scale accumulates over time and can eventually lead to clogs and leaks.
Soap scum and spotty dishes
Soap scum on shower doors and dishes that don't come out clean.
Cloudy ice and flat-tasting drinks
Ice makers, coffee and tea all suffer when the water isn't clean.
Concerns about contaminants
You want to know whether lead, arsenic, pesticides or other impurities are in your water.
Choosing a System
Water quality testing and filtration options
The filter you choose affects the quality, safety and cost of the water you use. Finding the right one isn’t difficult when you have an expert to help.
Start with a water quality test
A water quality test gives you a clearer picture of the pollutants actually present in your property’s water supply. Not every contaminant listed in the local water report may be in your water, and the concentrations can be different at your tap. That’s why it pays to have a specialist handle the testing and give you an accurate reading.
Testing can also help locate likely sources of pollution and show what drinking the water could mean for your health, so you know exactly what you’re consuming.
What a good filter removes
A good filter removes impurities such as lead, arsenic, chlorine, fluoride, pesticides and more. Once they’re gone, your tap water tastes better than ever.
Point of entry vs. point of use
Point-of-entry systems, also called whole-house or whole-building filtration systems, are installed on the main plumbing supply line. They filter the water before it enters your plumbing, so every faucet, fixture and appliance receives filtered water.
Point-of-use systems are designed for a single tap. They’re typically installed on or under the kitchen sink to improve the water at that faucet only, and pitcher-style filters from the grocery store fall into this group too.
Matching the filter to your water
Removing a wide range of contaminants takes more than one filtration technique, because each method is effective against a particular class of contaminant. The right system is the one that targets the impurities found in your water quality test, which is why we recommend testing before choosing.
Impurities filters can remove
- Lead
- Arsenic
- Chlorine
- Fluoride
- Pesticides
- And more
Test before you choose
The local water report doesn’t always match what comes out of your taps. A professional evaluation shows what’s really in your water, so you buy the right filter the first time.
Whole-Building Filtration
What a point-of-entry filtration system does for your property
Because a point-of-entry system sits on the main supply line, its benefits reach every tap, fixture and appliance in the building, not just one sink.
Filtered water at every tap and appliance
Whatever the fixture, a point-of-entry system makes sure it receives filtered water from beginning to end, including:
- Faucets in kitchens, restrooms and bathrooms
- Toilets
- Dishwashers and washing machines
- Ice makers
- Humidifiers
For offices, multi-unit buildings and businesses with many taps, that means consistent water quality throughout the property.
Protection for your pipes
Whole-building filtration also stops pipe scale from accumulating. Left unchecked, scale can eventually cause clogs and leaks in pipes and equipment, including your commercial water heater. If you already suspect a hidden leak, our commercial leak detection service can locate it.
Less bacteria growth throughout the system
Because it’s installed on the main supply line rather than at a single location, a point-of-entry filter helps prevent bacteria growth throughout the entire plumbing system, not just at one tap.
Everyday results you can see and taste
Filtered water leaves less soap scum on shower doors, gets dishes cleaner, makes better-tasting drip coffee and tea, and produces clearer ice cubes from ice makers. For restaurants, cafés and offices, those small differences are noticed every day.

FAQ
Water filtration questions
What San Diego business owners, property managers and homeowners ask about filtration.
What is the difference between point-of-entry and point-of-use filtration?
A point-of-entry (whole-house or whole-building) system is installed on the main supply line and filters all the water before it enters your plumbing. A point-of-use system filters the water at one tap, usually the kitchen sink, or in a pitcher-style filter.
What contaminants can a water filter remove?
A good filter can remove impurities such as lead, arsenic, chlorine, fluoride and pesticides. Different filtration techniques target different classes of contaminants, so the right filter depends on what’s in your water.
Why should I test my water before choosing a filter?
The contaminants listed in the local water report may not all be present in your supply, or may be at different concentrations. A professional test shows what’s actually in your water so you can choose a filter that targets it.
Does a whole-building filter help my pipes?
Yes. It helps stop pipe scale from building up, which can eventually cause clogs and leaks, and it helps prevent bacteria growth throughout the plumbing system. For other plumbing issues around your property, see our general plumbing services.
Is water filtration worth it for a restaurant or office?
Filtered water makes better-tasting coffee and tea, clearer ice cubes, cleaner dishes and less soap scum, and a whole-building system reaches every tap and appliance. See our commercial plumbing services.
How often should filters be changed?
It depends on how much water you use. After installation, our experts advise you on how often to replace the filter based on your usage.
Do you offer free consultations?
Yes. Call (619) 332-0275 or send a request for a free consultation. We’ll help you choose a system that fits your needs and your budget.
