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.

I got lucky to have Jake come out to service my HVAC. He did a fantastic and thorough job inspecting the equipment. He explained everything in detail and a was a great person overall to interact with. Highly recommend this company and Jake. 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. They would not leave without making sure I was satisfied. Highly recommend!!

Sean Woodrum from Henson Mechanical did an excellent job servicing my AC. He was professional, courteous, and very knowledgeable. He thoroughly checked the upstairs unit, cleaned it, reviewed the thermostats, and inspected the outdoor unit while clearly explaining what he found and what to expect going forward. You can tell he really takes pride in his work. Highly recommend!

The guys were informative and prompt. They walked me through the process and answered all questions. They cleaned up nicely also! I’m happy with the results. Thanks Steve

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!!!

Sean was excellent. He came right on time, listening to my concerns, and educated me on what my “blown candle” smell really was. Turns out it was nothing and he still had a smile on his face and spent time telling me how the system works and when I should have concerns in the future. I would...
Sean was excellent. He came right on time, listening to my concerns, and educated me on what my “blown candle” smell really was. Turns out it was nothing and he still had a smile on his face and spent time telling me how the system works and when I should have concerns in the future. I would easily use this company again and ask for Sean specifically.

We called Casteel to help us figure out what was wrong with our basement heating unit. We knew upfront that the cost was $90 for someone to come out. We were then told it would be another $285 for the technician to do a leak test even though we told him where the leak was. We agreed to both of...
We called Casteel to help us figure out what was wrong with our basement heating unit. We knew upfront that the cost was $90 for someone to come out. We were then told it would be another $285 for the technician to do a leak test even though we told him where the leak was. We agreed to both of these costs. He said Casteel "was not in the business of repairing coils" but they would give us a quote if we wanted one. He then told us the cost to repair the coils would be approximately $6500 (even though the coil was still covered by Trane's warranty) or we could replace the unit for approximately $15,000. Mind you, we have lived in this new construction, custom built home for 5 years. When I asked about this unit being so new, he told me "It's mechanical and mechanical things break." We were put off by the astronomical quote, the attitude and the feeling that we were getting scammed to some degree. We took the quotes and told him we were going to check with other companies. We got a referral to a smaller company, Henson Mechanical out of Monroe, Ga. They are a smaller, family owned business. We explained what we learned from Casteel, but we did not tell them what they wanted to charge us. Henson did not charge us to come out to our home, they did not run another test, and they were very responsive to our questions. The owner of Henson came out himself (arrived around 8:15 in the morning) and said he didn't need to run a test; he said he could see where it was leaking without a test. He gave us a quote of $2700 to replace the coils. Since the unit was still under warranty, Mr. Henson went out to Duluth, picked up the warrantied part, and had his guys replace the coil all by 3:00 that afternoon. The two men from Henson that fixed our heater were professional, polite, and knew what they were doing. To say our experiences with the two companies are night and day would be an understatement. We literally spent less than half of the repair price given to us by Casteel for the same work. We even signed up for Henson's annual maintenance plan for $225 per year, and we still were less than half of Casteel's original quote. Please do not use Casteel. They are overpriced and put their financial gain before their customers. We will continue to use smaller, family owned businesses like Henson Mechanical whenever possible. We could not recommend Henson Mechanical more, and we are thankful for the referral to them. You get people who care with better customer service and cost. Thankful we were smart enough to get a second opinion!

Jake is the man! Here is a guy truly with a heart to serve who provides excellent customer service. He’s the kind of guy that does such a great job you just want to cook him dinner as a thank you! 😊 We had a part that needed replaced in our unit and he came over after hours, walked us thru...
Jake is the man! Here is a guy truly with a heart to serve who provides excellent customer service. He’s the kind of guy that does such a great job you just want to cook him dinner as a thank you! 😊 We had a part that needed replaced in our unit and he came over after hours, walked us thru everything that was going on with the unit. He is truly knowledgeable and quite a professional! When all was said and done, he was able to fix the problem on the spot at an affordable price that was truly a blessing to us! We highly recommended him! And to the credit of One Hour, all of the technicians we’ve had have been superb. We can definitely add Jake to the hall of fame. Thank you so much for your service, Jake. You’ve been quite a blessing!
