Water Filtration System Las Vegas

Softer water, better taste, less scale

Las Vegas water is famously hard, which can leave buildup on fixtures, dry out skin and hair, and shorten the life of plumbing and appliances. FPS installs whole-home filters, water softeners, and reverse osmosis systems to improve water quality and protect what your home runs on.

Why Vegas water feels “tough”

Hardness, minerals, and chlorine add up

Many homeowners notice spots on dishes, crust on faucets, and that “never quite clean” feeling after showers—those are common hard-water signals. Hard water minerals can build scale in pipes, water heaters, and fixtures, and that buildup can reduce efficiency over time. A filtration and softening plan helps your home use water more cleanly and more gently. The right system can also reduce odors and improve taste at the tap.


What we install

Solutions you can mix and match

A water softener tackles hardness minerals (the scale makers), while a whole-house filter targets things like sediment and chlorine for cleaner water throughout the home. For drinking water, a reverse osmosis (RO) system can deliver crisp, purified water right at the kitchen sink. Many Vegas homes do best with a combination: softening for protection and comfort, plus filtration/RO for taste. We’ll recommend a setup based on your water and what you actually want to improve.

Your options

Choose comfort, protection, and better water

Not every home needs the same setup, so we start with your goals—skin and hair comfort, scale reduction, drinking water quality, or all of the above. Here are the most common paths:

Whole-house water softener

Reduces hardness minerals that create scale on fixtures and inside appliances. Softer water can help water heaters, dishwashers, and plumbing components last longer and run more smoothly.

Whole-house filtration

Helps reduce chlorine taste/odor and filters sediment so water feels and smells cleaner throughout the home. It’s a great add-on if you want better shower and sink water beyond just softness.

Reverse osmosis (RO) drinking water

Provides purified water at a dedicated tap, often used for cooking and drinking. It can cut reliance on bottled water and make water taste noticeably better.

Combo systems

Many homes use softening + filtration (and sometimes RO) for full coverage. We’ll size and place equipment to fit your home’s layout and keep maintenance straightforward.

Water filtration FAQs

Quick answers for Las Vegas homeowners

  • Do I need a water softener in Las Vegas?

    A lot of homes benefit from a softener here because hard water is a constant issue. If you’re seeing scale, spots, dry skin, or frequent fixture buildup, softening can make a noticeable difference. It can also reduce mineral wear on plumbing and appliances over time. We can help you decide based on what you’re seeing and what you want to fix.

  • Water softener vs. water filter—what’s the difference?

    A softener is mainly for hardness minerals (scale), while a filter targets things like chlorine taste/odor and sediment. They solve different problems, so many homes use both. If your main complaint is scale and dryness, start with softening. If taste and smell bother you, filtration (or RO at the sink) can help a lot.

  • What’s the best way to filter Vegas tap water?

    It depends on whether you care most about whole-home comfort or drinking water quality. Whole-house filtration helps showers, sinks, and laundry water feel cleaner, while RO is a strong choice for drinking and cooking water. If scale is the bigger issue, softening is usually step one. FPS can recommend a combined approach that fits your goals and budget.

  • Will water treatment help my water heater last longer?

    It can, because scale is a major enemy of water heaters in hard-water areas. Reducing mineral buildup can help heaters run more efficiently and avoid performance drop-offs. It doesn’t “freeze time,” but it can reduce wear and maintenance headaches. Pairing treatment with routine maintenance is the best combo.

  • Do you offer water testing or a consultation?

    Yes—we can look at your current setup, your symptoms, and what you want to improve. If you already have equipment, we can also evaluate whether it’s sized correctly or if it needs service. The goal is a solution that actually matches your home, not a generic package. Call and we’ll set up a quick visit.
