Whole House Filtration Systems

Brio Whole House Filtration Systems treat water as it enters your home. The filtered water goes to every faucet, shower, and appliance through your existing plumbing. These multi-stage systems are designed to reduce common contaminants, including chlorine, sediment, rust, and certain chemicals that affect taste, smell, and clarity.

Unlike point-of-use filters that only treat water at one tap, whole house systems protect your entire plumbing network, which is especially beneficial if you have hard water. You’ll see and feel the improvement in your everyday water, from showering and cooking to laundry and cleaning. This setup is ideal for homes with water quality concerns, older pipes, or high sediment levels in municipal or well water.

Brio Whole House Filtration Systems are built for long-term use with replaceable
filter cartridges. The lifespan of each filter depends on water quality and household water usage. On average, whole house filters last up to 12 months or 100,000 gallons of water.

A good rule of thumb is to check your system every six months and monitor for changes in water pressure, odor, or taste. Brio’s modular filter design makes replacements simple, helping you maintain optimal performance with minimal effort.

Whole house filtration significantly reduces many common impurities, including chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), sediment, and rust. However, the contaminants removed or reduced depend on the type of filters you choose. For example, some filters cannot eliminate dissolved solids, heavy metals, or microbes. For complete purification, especially for drinking water, a reverse osmosis or UV system may be recommended in addition to your whole house filter.

Whole house filters are designed for general water treatment throughout your home. They reduce sediment, chlorine, VOCs, and odors. They also remove or reduce minerals, which protects plumbing and improves water for daily use.

Reverse osmosis (RO), on the other hand, is a more advanced, point-of-use system that removes a broader range of contaminants, including dissolved solids, heavy metals, and certain bacteria and viruses. RO systems are typically installed under a kitchen sink or in a dedicated dispenser. They’re ideal for cooking and drinking water. Many households use both a whole house system for general filtration and RO for purified drinking water.

Whole house filtration systems are typically installed at the main water line where the water supply enters your home, after the main shut-off valve. This location ensures all incoming water is filtered, whether you’re taking a shower, doing laundry, or washing dishes.

Brio Whole House Filtration Systems are compact and designed for easy
installation in garages, utility rooms, and basements. Installation can also be
done in a crawl space if needed. They’re designed for easy installation, but if
you’re unsure about your skills, a plumber can provide the correct setup and
optimize performance.
