Water Filtration System Installation in Denver, CO
Types Of Water Filtration Systems We Install
City water in Denver is treated and safe to use, but many homeowners still aren’t happy with how it tastes and smells at the tap. Municipal treatment relies on chlorine, and that chlorine taste and odor carry through to your drinking glass, your coffee, and your shower. Add in sediment that collects in pipes over time, growing awareness of PFAS compounds in water supplies, and hard-working appliances that scale up faster than they should — and filtration starts to make sense for a lot of Denver homes.
Speed Plumbing installs whole-house filtration systems, reverse osmosis drinking water systems, and sediment filters for homeowners across the Denver metro. We are licensed plumbers with 20 years of experience, and every filtration installation starts with an estimate — we review the installation requirements, your plumbing, and your goals. We do not provide water quality testing.
Whole-House Carbon Filtration
Installed where water enters the home, a whole-house system treats every tap. Activated carbon reduces the chlorine taste and odor most Denver homeowners notice first, and improves water for bathing, laundry, and cooking — not just drinking. Reverse osmosis (RO) systems. An under-sink RO unit filters drinking and cooking water at a single tap, removing a very wide range of dissolved substances that carbon alone doesn't catch. If your main concern is what's in your glass, RO is usually the most thorough option. Sediment filters. These catch sand, rust flakes, and other particles before they reach your fixtures and appliances. They are often installed ahead of other equipment to protect it and extend its life.
Filtration Is Not Softening — Sometimes You Need Both
A filter and a softener do different jobs. Filtration improves taste, odor, and clarity by removing chlorine, particles, and other substances. A softener removes the calcium and magnesium that cause hard water scale. A filter does not soften water — if limescale is your main problem, filtration alone won’t fix it. Many homes benefit from both: a softener to handle hardness and a filter to handle taste and quality. We’ll tell you honestly which one your home actually needs.
Signs A Filtration System Makes Sense For Your Home
- Your tap water tastes or smells like chlorine
- You buy bottled water because you don’t like the tap water
- You see sediment or particles in your water, or aerators clog often
- Your skin and hair feel dry after showering
- You want better-tasting water for coffee, tea, and cooking
- You’re replacing a filter pitcher or faucet filter constantly and want a permanent solution
Our Installation Process
- Installation planning. We discuss the installation requirements and review your plumbing layout. We do not provide water quality testing.
- System selection and placement. We match the system to your water, household size, and water pressure, and choose the right spot — usually near the main shutoff, with room to service the filters.
- Installation. We tie the system into your plumbing cleanly, with shutoff and bypass valves so the unit is easy to maintain.
- Flush and setup. We flush the new system, check flow and pressure, and make sure everything runs the way it should.
- Verification and walkthrough. We check the installation for leaks and proper flow and show you how and when to change the filters.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of the most common questions about our services. If you don't see your answer here, feel free to call us.
01. How much does water filtration installation cost?
Installation cost depends on the system type, the size of your home, and where it connects to your plumbing. Contact us for an installation estimate before work begins.
02. How often do filters need to be replaced?
It varies by system and by how much water your household uses. Sediment pre-filters typically need changing every few months, carbon filters commonly last six to twelve months, and RO membranes often last a couple of years. We'll give you the schedule for your specific system at installation.
03. Should I choose whole-house filtration or reverse osmosis?
They solve different problems. Whole-house filtration improves water everywhere — showers, laundry, and all taps. RO targets drinking water at one tap and provides the most thorough filtration for what you consume. Many homeowners install both; we'll help you decide based on what you're trying to fix.
04. Does water filtration soften water?
No. Filtration and softening are different processes. A filter improves taste, odor, and clarity, but it does not remove the minerals that cause hard water scale. If hardness is the issue, you need a softener — and we can tell you whether one, the other, or both makes sense for your home.
05. Can you test my water before I decide?
No. We install water filtration systems, but we do not test water. If you need a water quality test, arrange it with a qualified water testing provider before selecting a system.
06. Is filtration the same as softening — do I need both?
No. Filtration and softening are different processes. A filter improves taste, odor, and clarity, but it does not remove the minerals that cause hard water scale. Many homes benefit from both: a softener to handle hardness and a filter to handle taste and quality. We'll tell you honestly which one your home actually needs.
07. What are the benefits of a professionally installed filtration system?
Better-tasting, better-smelling water at every tap (whole-house systems). Less reliance on bottled water and disposable pitcher filters. Cleaner water for cooking, coffee, and ice. Reduced sediment reaching your water heater, dishwasher, and washing machine. A permanent, low-hassle solution maintained on a predictable schedule.
