Providing Clean & Healthy Water for Your Home
Water quality can vary dramatically even within a city like Tampa. Old pipes in your neighborhood or home, for example, can lead to very different experiences with your water compared to a friend a few streets over. If you don’t want to deal with unpleasant tastes, foul odors, and concerning contaminants in your home water, a whole-home water filter installed by the team at Hawkins Service Company might be exactly what you need.

5 Signs You Have Poor Water Quality
While a water filter can be a good investment even if you’re largely satisfied with your water quality, for safety and long-term protection of your plumbing, it’s all the more important if your water quality is below average or dangerous. Here are a few signs to look for as an indication of poor water quality:
- Residue: If your water leaves grime, grit, or other residue when it dries, that means there’s something you don’t want in there.
- Bad taste: Water shouldn’t taste bad, if it has much taste at all — even harmless contaminants can still ruin your cooking, coffee, and cleaning.
- Odors: No one wants to live in a home where everything from cooking and cleaning to bathing involves smelly water.
- Sediment: Sediment and grit in your water isn’t always dangerous, but it’s always unpleasant.
- Discoloration: If your water has any color to it at all, it could benefit from filtering — even harmless contaminants like rust can stain surfaces, ruin clothes, and taste bad.
3 Benefits of a Whole-Home Water Filter
Whole-home water filters aren’t the only way to get clean water in your home, but they’re the best by a wide margin. By having a whole-home water filter installed in your home, you’ll see these benefits and more:
- Protect your plumbing: A whole-home system can filter your entire home’s water supply, protecting your plumbing from the damage contaminants can cause over time.
- Enjoy clean, safe water everywhere: A whole-home filter means the water you drink, cook with, bathe in, wash dishes with, clean clothes with, and more will always be clean and fresh without unpleasant or harmful contaminants.
- Reduced upkeep: Using a whole-home system to filter your water is much easier than dealing with bottled water and a variety of point filters, doing maintenance to clear out your plumbing of hard water residue, and other frustrations.

Is a Whole-House Water Filter Worth It?
Water Filtration System Installation
Unlike a point-based water filtration system like a special fixture for your faucet, a filtering showerhead, or an attachment just before your washing machine, a whole-home water filtration system is installed as near to the point where your water main enters your home as possible. For most homes in Tampa, that might mean installing your system in your crawl space, or it might be installed in a closet or other discreet location.
All water passing into your plumbing and journeying to various fixtures will pass through the filter system to remove contaminants such as minerals, heavy metals, microorganisms, solid particles, and more. The system will look like a series of tanks or canisters connected on either end to your plumbing — one end to your incoming water main, the other end feeding out into the rest of your water lines.
