60-second water check

What's actually in your water?

Two quick taps and we'll tell you what's most likely going on — no email required.

Where does your water come from?

You already know something's off

Spots on everything

Cloudy glasses, crusty faucets, a film on the shower door. That white residue is dissolved minerals your dishwasher can’t rinse away.

Skin and hair feel wrong

Tight, itchy skin and dull, straw-like hair after every shower usually means hardness and chlorine are stripping the natural oils.

It tastes like a pool

A chemical or metallic taste at the tap is often chlorine, chloramine or old pipes — the reasons most families quietly switch to bottled water.

Your well water stains and smells

Orange staining, a rotten-egg smell or black flecks point to iron, manganese, sulfur or low pH — classic Delaware well problems.

Your water heater is dying early

Scale builds up on the heating element and insulates it, so the heater burns more energy to do less. Hard water can take years off its life.

Local water, real problems

The three water problems we fix most in Delaware

PFAS in New Castle County groundwater

New Castle County is one of the most documented PFAS areas in the country. These “forever chemicals” are invisible, tasteless, and don’t come out with a pitcher filter.

Whole-house carbon + reverse osmosis

Iron, manganese and low pH in Kent & Sussex wells

Most homes south of the canal are on private wells. Iron and manganese stain everything orange and black, and acidic low-pH water slowly eats copper pipes.

Well water treatment system

Chlorine, chloramine and aging pipes on city water

City systems add chlorine or chloramine to stay safe in the pipes — but you taste and smell it. Older Wilmington-area homes can also have lead or galvanized service lines.

Whole-house carbon filtration

Our systems

Built for the water you actually have

City water and well water are different problems. A 2,000 sq ft home and a 5,000 sq ft home are different problems. We size the system to your house, not to a price list.

How it works

How whole-home filtration works

One system on the main line treats the water before it goes anywhere else in the house. Whether you are on city water or a private well, the layout is the same.

How whole-home filtration works: city or private well water enters the home, passes through a whole-home treatment tank on the main line, then sends filtered water to the kitchen, bath and laundry. An optional reverse osmosis system under the kitchen sink adds a drinking-water step.

Swipe sideways to see the full diagram

  1. Your water source

    City water or a private well enters the home through a single incoming line.

  2. Filter first

    The system sits on the main line, so water is treated before it reaches anything else.

  3. Clean water everywhere

    Filtered water branches out to the kitchen, bathrooms and laundry.

Four steps, and the first two are free

We come out and test your actual water — free. Takes about 15 minutes.

We tell you what it means

Plain-English results. We’d rather tell you that you don’t need a system than sell you the wrong one.

04

Permitted install, warrantied

A licensed Delaware plumber pulls the permit and installs it right, backed by a lifetime tank warranty.

Sample Owner, founder of Your Home Water Filtration, beside a whole-house filtration systemA quick hello from Sample OwnerWatch
“We test your water before we sell you anything. If your water's fine, I'll tell you — that's the whole point.”

I started Your Home Water Filtration in Newark after watching the water industry run on 3-hour appointments, disappearing prices and high-pressure sales. Families deserve better than that.

So we do it differently: a free test, a straight price, permitted installation by a licensed plumber, and a warranty that actually lasts. A real family that answers the phone.

Questions, answered straight

What does a whole-house system cost?

Most whole-house filtration and softening systems land in a clear published range, and we give you one straight price after the free test — no disappearing quotes. (Replace with your real price anchor before launch.)

Do you pull permits?

Yes. In New Castle County and across Delaware, installs are done by a licensed plumber with the proper permits pulled. That protects your home and your warranty.

Do you test for PFAS?

We can test for and address PFAS, which is a real concern in New Castle County groundwater. Whole-house carbon plus reverse osmosis is the proven approach.

Is the water test really free?

Completely free, and it takes about 15 minutes. We would rather tell you that you don’t need a system than sell you the wrong one.

Do I need a softener if I’m on city water?

Often yes — most Delaware city water is moderately hard, which is what causes spotting and scale. The test tells us your exact number so you’re not guessing.

How long does installation take?

A typical whole-house install is about half a day. We schedule it once, do it right, and clean up after ourselves.
