Installing a filtration system in your Sacramento home is the best way to ensure clean, safe, and great-tasting water for you and your family. At Platero Parada Plumbing, we specialize in water filtration solutions, including reverse osmosis water filters, whole-house systems, and Berkey water filtration options.
With over 9 years of serving Sacramento, we understand the local water quality concerns and offer customized solutions to protect your home and health.
Why You Need a Filtration System in Sacramento
Sacramento’s water supply contains various impurities, including chlorine, heavy metals, and sediments. Over time, these contaminants can affect your health and even damage your plumbing system. A water filtration system helps by:
- Removing harmful contaminants such as lead, bacteria, and chlorine.
- Enhancing the taste and smell of your drinking water.
Protecting your appliances and plumbing from scale buildup. - Reducing reliance on bottled water, saving money, and reducing plastic waste.
Types of Filtration Systems
At Platero Parada Plumbing, we provide a variety of water filtration options to fit your needs.
-
1. Reverse Osmosis Water Filter
A reverse osmosis filter is one of the most effective solutions for removing contaminants from your drinking water. It works by forcing water through a semipermeable membrane, filtering out:
✔ Heavy metals (lead, arsenic, mercury)
✔ Chlorine and fluoride
✔ Bacteria and viruses
✔ Pesticides and other harmful chemicals
This system is perfect for homeowners who want ultra-purified water for drinking and cooking.
-
2. Whole-House Water Filtration System
A whole-home water filtration system ensures that every faucet in your house delivers clean, safe water. It is ideal for homes dealing with:
✔ Hard water problems
✔ Chlorine-heavy municipal water
✔ Scale buildup in plumbing and appliances
By installing one of these systems, you’ll extend the life of your water heater, pipes, and fixtures while improving overall water quality.
-
3. Berkey Water Filtration System
If you’re looking for a portable, non-electric option, Berkey water systems are an excellent choice. They use gravity-fed filters to remove bacteria, viruses, and heavy metals, making them perfect for:
✔ Emergency preparedness
✔ Off-grid living
✔ Small households looking for an easy water purification solution

FAQs About Water Filtration Systems
How does a reverse osmosis water filter work?
A reverse osmosis filter uses pressure to push water through a semipermeable membrane, removing contaminants such as lead, chlorine, and bacteria. It provides high-quality drinking water by eliminating harmful substances and improving taste.
Is a whole-house filtration system better than an under-sink filter?
A whole-house filtration system treats water at the main supply, providing clean water throughout your home. An under-sink reverse osmosis water filter is great for drinking water but doesn’t protect appliances from scale buildup. The best option depends on your specific water concerns.
How often should I replace my filtration system filters?
Filter replacement depends on the system type and water usage. Reverse osmosis filters typically need replacing every 6-12 months, while whole-house filters require maintenance every 3-6 months. Regular replacements ensure clean and safe water.
Does Sacramento have hard water, and do I need a filtration system?
Yes, Sacramento has moderately hard water, which can lead to mineral buildup in pipes and appliances. Installing a water filtration system helps prevent scale buildup, extends appliance lifespan, and improves water quality.
What is the difference between a reverse osmosis filter and a Berkey water system?
A reverse osmosis filter uses a membrane to remove contaminants at a molecular level, providing highly purified water.
Berkey water filtration is a gravity-fed system that removes bacteria, viruses, and heavy metals without electricity, making it great for off-grid use or emergencies.
