Whole Home Water Purification & Filtration Systems in Atlanta

Is your tap water leaving a bad taste in your mouth? Are you concerned about hidden contaminants affecting your family's health? A whole-home water purification system from Henson Mechanical provides clean, safe, great-tasting water throughout your Atlanta home.

Why Water Purification Matters

Georgia's water quality varies significantly by location. While municipal water systems meet EPA standards, they often contain residual chlorine, sediment, minerals, and other contaminants that affect taste, odor, and long-term health. According to the CDC, over 2,000 water systems in the U.S. violate safety standards annually. Whole-home water purification systems ensure every drop from every faucet is properly filtered and safe for drinking, cooking, and bathing.

Common Water Quality Issues in Atlanta

Hard Water: Caused by high mineral content (calcium and magnesium), hard water reduces soap effectiveness, damages appliances, leaves spots on dishes and fixtures, and increases water heating costs. Many Atlanta homes deal with moderate to hard water conditions.

Chlorine & Chemical Residue: Municipal water treatment adds chlorine to kill bacteria, but excess chlorine affects taste, odor, and can create harmful disinfection byproducts.

Iron & Sulfur: These minerals cause orange/brown staining, rotten egg odors, and metallic tastes—common complaints in certain Atlanta neighborhoods.

Sediment & Turbidity: Visible particles that make water cloudy and can clog fixtures and appliances over time.

Biological Contaminants: Bacteria, viruses, and parasites that occasionally bypass municipal treatment systems.

Industrial Contaminants: Lead, pesticides, PFOA/PFAS, and other chemicals from industrial activity or agricultural runoff.

Types of Water Purification Systems

Whole-Home Filters: These connect to your main water line and filter all water entering your home before distribution to every faucet, shower, and appliance. They're the most comprehensive solution.

Point-of-Use Systems: Installed at specific locations (kitchen sink, bathroom), these handle water in one area only. Ideal for targeted solutions to taste and odor issues.

Water Softeners: Specifically designed to remove hard water minerals (calcium and magnesium) that cause scaling, reduce appliance lifespan, and diminish water heater efficiency.

Reverse Osmosis (RO) Systems: The gold standard for removing dissolved contaminants, RO systems force water through a semi-permeable membrane that removes up to 99% of dissolved particles. Perfect for drinking water.

Carbon Filtration: Excellent at removing chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and improving taste and odor.

Iron Filters: Specifically target iron removal and prevent orange staining common in Georgia homes.

UV Purification: Uses ultraviolet light to kill bacteria, viruses, and protozoa without adding chemicals—excellent for well water or supplemental protection.

The Water Purification Installation Process

At Henson Mechanical, we take a comprehensive approach to water purification:

Step 1: Water Quality Testing: We perform a detailed in-home water analysis testing for pH, hardness, iron, bacteria, chlorine, sediment, and any specific contaminants you've noticed.

Step 2: Customized Recommendations: Based on test results, we recommend a system specifically designed for your home's water quality issues and your family's needs.

Step 3: Professional Installation: Our licensed plumbers install your system at the main water line (for whole-home solutions) or at the specific point of use, ensuring proper connections and integration with existing plumbing.

Step 4: System Calibration: We adjust and test the system to optimize filtration effectiveness and water flow.

Step 5: Education & Maintenance: We explain your system's operation and schedule maintenance to keep filters fresh and performance optimal.

Benefits of Whole-Home Water Purification

Health & Safety: Remove contaminants, bacteria, and chemicals that shouldn't be in your drinking water.

Better Tasting Water: Eliminate chlorine, sulfur, and metallic tastes for refreshing drinking water straight from the tap.

Improved Skin & Hair: Chlorine and minerals dry out skin and hair. Purified water is gentler on your entire body.

Appliance Protection: Soft, filtered water extends the lifespan of water heaters, dishwashers, ice makers, and washing machines by preventing mineral buildup and corrosion.

Reduced Plumbing Issues: Proper filtration prevents sediment from clogging pipes and fixtures.

Environmental Benefits: Reduce plastic bottle waste by enjoying filtered tap water at home.

Lower Maintenance Costs: Fewer appliance repairs and replacements pay for the system over time.

Water Purification Maintenance

To keep your system functioning optimally:

Filter Replacement: Most systems require filter changes every 6-12 months depending on water quality and usage. We can set up automatic reminder services.

Tank Maintenance: Whole-home water softeners and storage tanks need occasional sanitization and inspection.

Annual Testing: We recommend annual water quality testing to verify your system continues addressing contaminants effectively.

Professional Inspections: Our technicians inspect your system during regular maintenance visits to catch any issues early.

Choosing the Right System for Your Home

The best water purification system depends on:

  • Water Quality Issues: Hard water, taste/odor, specific contaminants, or bacteria
  • Home Size: Larger homes may need systems with greater flow capacity
  • Budget: Systems range from $500-$5,000+ depending on complexity
  • Maintenance Preferences: Some systems require more frequent filter changes than others
  • Long-Term Goals: Investment in health, appliance protection, and environmental responsibility

Our certified water quality experts help you navigate these factors and recommend the best solution.

John and I were very happy with the service. Caleb helped with three properties and was extremely patient with our tenants. Very polite, knowledgeable, and accommodating to our schedule. He was able to handle four units, including a diagnostic and putting in a replacement part with a wonderful attitude and great customer service.🙂

Excellent customer service!! Called at 7:00 pm to request someone to come out to price out replacing my HVAC units. Steve showed up 1.5 hours later and will be installing tomorrow. The pricing is great and so was the service.
Sean came on 9/20 and said transformer was blown. 9/21 Sean installed a new transformer and fixed the electrical issue causing it to blow. Next morning ac is out again. Scotty comes and said I need a new blower motor or a whole new unit (mine is 6 yrs old). He said he couldn’t do anything to...
Sean came on 9/20 and said transformer was blown. 9/21 Sean installed a new transformer and fixed the electrical issue causing it to blow. Next morning ac is out again. Scotty comes and said I need a new blower motor or a whole new unit (mine is 6 yrs old). He said he couldn’t do anything to get it working. Called Estes and they came same day and fixed the blown transformer that Sean replaced on 9/21. Electrical issue was not fixed properly by Sean and thus it went out again. Estes fixed everything (electrical issue and new transformer) and 2 weeks later still running well. Jeremy the field manger said he wouldn’t refund my money for the cost of the part and labor (wasn’t asking for dispatch fee back) bc I didn’t call them again to come and fix it. Why would I have the same company come a 4th time when they proved the first 3 times they couldn’t do it? And then Scotty diagnosed a whole new problem and tried to rip me off by telling me I needed a $1200 blower motor or $8k brand new unit. Mine isn’t even at half its lifespan. Completely unprofessional and only trying to upsell. I spent 4 days with no ac in Georgia heat. I even kept the transformer they installed (see photos for serial number) to show it was blown again. Jeremy tried to claim it blew AFTER Scotty left and I didn’t call them to fix it. When Scotty left there was no ac at all so he did nothing anyways. I did call you to come and fix the problem and your tech told me he couldn’t do anything. Have tried to resolve this with them to no avail. I’ll be contacting the BBB and letting everyone in my community know not to use this company. UPDATE: Steve called me and was extremely sympathetic. He explained that this is not how they conduct business, I shouldn’t have to pay for services that were not properly rendered and agreed to give me a full refund and coach the techs who handled this. Within 10 minutes he called again to confirm my credit card would be credited. He stood up for me when no one was listening and made it right- which is all I asked for when the beginning. This company stands behind their work and has integrity and for that I say KUDOS. Thank you for making this right!!!

Update: Two days later Nick and a colleague came to install a furnace for me after a crack was found in the initial inspection. They did an amazing job with the install.
