Whole-House Water Filtration in Fresno & Clovis

Chlorine, chemical taste and odor filtered out at the point of entry — every tap, every shower, every appliance. Paired with a softener, it's one complete system.

Filter the whole house, not just one faucet.

Fresno and Clovis disinfect their water with chlorine — the city's 2024 report shows an average residual of about 1.3 mg/L. It does its job in the pipes, but by the time it reaches your shower it is what you smell, taste and feel on your skin. A whole-house carbon filter takes it out before the water reaches a single fixture.

Nick installs California Honest Water Co whole-house systems with coconut-shell granular activated carbon, the same media used in high-end drinking water filters, sized for whole-house flow so you never notice a pressure drop.

Most Fresno homes get the best result from a softener and a whole-house filter installed together: the softener stops the scale, the carbon takes out the chlorine, and every tap in the house gets both. Water softeners →

My water heater wasn't working correctly and Nick was recommended to us. He came in for an inspection and explained everything very well that was wrong. They took out and installed a new water heater. We didn't have to worry about anything. Him and his coworkers; Evan and Alex were a pleasure to work with.

We had an excellent experience with Central Valley. Nick was responsive and helpful. His quote was less than half what a competitor quoted! Evan came to the house prepared for a replacement but was actually able to fix the problem within just a few minutes. I will definitely call again with any future needs. We highly recommend this company!

Nick came out and explained things very well. His crews came out and did the roof and dry wall repair. Very professional, on time and they cleaned up all the debris. Gave me a quote which was less than the other companies. They are also available on the weekends, which is a huge plus since I work. When you have questions and you texted Nick, he was very responsive. Overall, I'm very pleased with the service. Definitely recommend them, you won't be disappointed for sure.

Whole-House Water Filtration FAQ

Whole-House Water Filtration questions, answered.

What does a whole-house filter remove?

Chlorine, chemical taste and odor, and sediment. Coconut-shell carbon is very good at chlorine and the compounds that cause taste and smell. It does not soften water (that's a softener) and it is not a substitute for reverse osmosis at the drinking tap for dissolved solids.

Does it reduce water pressure?

Not when it's sized right. Nick sizes the tank to your home's flow rate so showers and appliances run exactly like before.

Whole-house filter or softener — which do I need?

If your problem is chlorine taste and smell, filtration. If it's scale, spots and dry skin, a softener. Most Fresno homes have both problems, which is why the two are usually installed together as one system.

How often does the carbon need replacing?

Whole-house carbon tanks typically run several years before the media is exhausted, depending on water use and chlorine level. Nick tells you the expected service interval in writing.

Is the water safe to drink after a whole-house filter?

City water is already treated to drinking standards; the filter improves taste, smell and feel. For the lowest possible dissolved solids at the kitchen tap, add reverse osmosis. RO drinking water →

Can you install it with my existing softener?

Yes. A carbon stage can be added in front of an existing softener, which also protects the softener's resin from chlorine.
