How Does MT Dunn Plumbing Install a Water Filtration System?

A structured process ensures the system you get actually addresses your home’s water quality concerns.

1

Initial Water Quality Consultation

Technicians discuss any concerns, like taste, odor, staining, or hard water buildup, before recommending a testing and system approach.

2

Testing Your Water Supply

Water samples are tested for hardness, chlorine, sediment, pH, and other common contaminants specific to Hillsboro’s water sources.

3

Reviewing Test Results With You

Findings are explained clearly, along with which filtration technology actually addresses the specific issues found in your water.

4

Recommending the Right System

Based on test results and household size, technicians recommend whole-house filtration, under-sink filtration, a water softener, or a combination system.

5

Planning the Installation Location

The best installation point is identified, typically at the main water line for whole-house systems or beneath the sink for point-of-use units.

6

Shutting Off Water Supply

The main or local water supply is shut off before any cutting or connection work begins, minimizing water loss during installation.

7

Installing Mounting Hardware

Brackets or mounting hardware are securely installed to support the filtration system’s weight and ensure stable, long-term operation.

8

Connecting the System to Your Plumbing

Technicians cut in and connect the filtration unit, ensuring proper flow direction and secure, leak-free fittings throughout.

9

Installing Bypass Valves Where Applicable

Bypass valves are added so water can be rerouted around the system during future filter changes or maintenance.

10

Testing Water Flow and Checking for Leaks

Water is turned back on gradually, and all connections are checked closely for leaks before full pressure is restored.

11

Verifying Filtered Water Quality

Technicians confirm the system is filtering properly by testing water quality at the tap after installation.

12

Homeowner Walkthrough and Maintenance Guidance

We walk you through filter change schedules, system indicators, and basic maintenance to keep your system performing well.

Most under-sink filter installations are completed within one to two hours; whole-house system installations typically take three to five hours depending on complexity.

What Types of Water Filtration Systems Does MT Dunn Plumbing Install?

We install a range of systems matched to different water quality needs.

  • Whole-House Carbon Filters: Reduce chlorine taste, odor, and sediment at the point where water enters your home.
  • Reverse Osmosis Systems: Provide highly purified drinking water at the kitchen sink for cooking and drinking.
  • Water Softeners: Reduce hardness minerals that cause scale buildup and reduce soap effectiveness.
  • UV Purification Systems: Neutralize bacteria and microorganisms, often paired with well water systems.
  • Sediment Pre-Filters: Remove dirt, rust particles, and sand before water reaches other filtration stages.
  • Under-Sink Filtration Units: Compact systems providing filtered water at a single tap without whole-house installation.
  • Combination Systems: Multi-stage setups pairing sediment filtration, carbon filtration, and softening for comprehensive treatment.

Should You Choose Whole-House Filtration or Under-Sink Filtration for Your Hillsboro Home?

From what we’ve seen, the answer depends on your home’s water quality and what you want your filtration system to accomplish. At MT Dunn Plumbing, we’ve helped homeowners choose the right solution by matching filtration systems to their actual water concerns rather than guessing.

Here's why we feel so strongly about this:

Every home has different water quality challenges, yet many homeowners assume one filtration system works for every situation. The reality is that whole-house and under-sink systems are designed to solve different problems. Choosing the wrong one can leave important water quality issues unresolved or result in paying for treatment you simply don’t need.

We’ve worked with homeowners who installed under-sink filtration only to continue dealing with hard water, chlorine, and sediment throughout the rest of the house. Others invested in whole-house filtration but still wanted the added purification that a reverse osmosis system provides for drinking water. In many cases, understanding these differences from the beginning would have led to a better long-term investment.

Our opinion is simple: choosing a filtration system without understanding your water is a decision we wouldn't recommend to anyone.

The cost of selecting the right filtration system is minor compared to the long-term benefits of protecting your plumbing, extending appliance life, and improving your household’s water quality. We think of it as investing in healthier water, lower maintenance costs, and greater confidence every time you turn on the tap.

Many Hillsboro homeowners ultimately choose both systems. A whole-house filtration system protects plumbing fixtures and appliances throughout the home, while an under-sink system delivers the highest-quality water for drinking and cooking where it matters most.

Bottom line from our team:

If you’re serious about improving your home’s water quality, start with a professional water assessment. We’ll explain your water test results and help you choose the whole-house system, under-sink system, or combination that best fits your household’s needs and budget.
