The right system depends on what's in your water: carbon filters for taste and chlorine, softeners for hardness, reverse osmosis for drinking water. Start with your water provider's annual report or a simple test.

Water Filtration Systems in Fairfax: What To Know Locally

Hard groundwater and summer heat are the main factors here. Groundwater here is hard and can carry minerals that build up in water heaters, so whole-home filtration and softeners are common requests. Half of the homes in Fairfax were built before about 1971. Homes from that period commonly have copper supply lines paired with cast iron drains, and some still have sections of the original galvanized pipe, so a repair can turn up mixed materials. About 28% of homes here predate 1960, so older pipe is still common.

Around Fairfax, water filtration systems typically runs about $305 to $1,200, before any permit, wall or slab access, or repairs to finishes. Plumbers cover both Fairfax ZIP codes and nearby East Niles and Potomac Park.
