At Clear Water Filtration, we combine licensed plumbing expertise with deep water quality knowledge because our water filtration experts are all licensed plumbers—giving you a true one-stop solution for protecting your home's water supply. Since 1980, our family-owned business has served Vermont homeowners with the professional installation services that ensure your water treatment equipment operates at peak efficiency from day one.
Our installation team understands that proper system installation is just as important as selecting the right equipment. A water softener, reverse osmosis system, or whole-house filtration unit can only deliver clean, safe water when installed correctly by professionals who understand both plumbing systems and water treatment principles.
As an Authorized, Independent Kinetico Dealer for over 30 years, we have installed thousands of water treatment systems throughout the state. Our installation expertise covers the full range of residential and commercial equipment—from simple under-sink filters to complex whole-house treatment systems designed to address Vermont's unique water quality challenges.
Whether you are dealing with hard water, iron staining, bacterial contamination, or PFAS concerns, our licensed plumbers ensure your treatment system integrates seamlessly with your existing plumbing infrastructure.
Professional Installation Matters
Installing a water treatment system involves far more than connecting a few pipes and plugging in a unit. Professional installation by licensed plumbers ensures your system operates safely, efficiently, and in compliance with Vermont plumbing codes.
At Clear Water Filtration, we have seen countless homeowners struggle with systems that were improperly installed—resulting in leaks, reduced effectiveness, premature equipment failure, and even water damage to their homes.
As licensed plumbers, we ensure every water treatment system installation meets Vermont's plumbing codes and regulations. This compliance protects your home's value and ensures your homeowner's insurance remains valid.
Complete Installation Services
Our licensed plumber team installs the complete range of water treatment equipment for residential and commercial applications. Every installation follows manufacturer specifications while adapting to the specific requirements of your property's plumbing system.
Whole-house filtration provides comprehensive water treatment at your home's point of entry, ensuring every faucet, shower, and appliance receives treated water.
Our installation process includes:
Hard water affects homes throughout Vermont, causing scale buildup in pipes, water heaters, and appliances. Our water softener installation service addresses these problems through professional equipment sizing and proper plumbing integration.
Water softener installation requires careful attention to:
Reverse osmosis (RO) systems provide the highest level of drinking water purification available for residential use. These point-of-use systems typically install under kitchen sinks.
Our RO installation service includes:
UV disinfection systems from Viqua provide chemical-free bacterial and viral treatment for well water supplies. These systems require precise installation to ensure proper water contact time.
Our UV system installation includes:
Chemical injection systems from Stenner address specific water quality issues requiring precise chemical treatment, including pH adjustment and iron treatment.
We install chemical injection systems for:
Vermont groundwater frequently contains elevated iron and manganese levels that cause staining, taste issues, and appliance damage. Our iron filtration system installation addresses these problems.
We install air injection oxidation systems, greensand filtration units, and combination systems that address multiple contaminant concerns simultaneously. Each installation considers your home's water pressure, flow rate requirements, and available space.
Our Professional Process
At Clear Water Filtration, we follow a systematic installation process that ensures every project meets our exacting standards. This approach has served Vermont homeowners well for over four decades.
Before any installation begins, our team conducts comprehensive water testing to verify your treatment needs. We also assess your existing plumbing infrastructure to identify any modifications required for proper system integration.
Once testing confirms your system selection, we develop a detailed installation plan that addresses equipment placement, plumbing modifications, electrical requirements, and drainage needs.
Our licensed plumbers arrive prepared with everything needed to complete your installation. We respect your home throughout the process, using drop cloths to protect floors and cleaning up completely when finished.
After completing physical installation, we test every connection for leaks and verify proper system operation. For programmable equipment, we configure settings based on your water quality test results and household size.
Before leaving, we walk you through your new system's operation, maintenance requirements, and any controls you need to understand. We provide written documentation including warranty information and maintenance schedules.
We check in with you after installation to ensure everything meets your expectations. Our team schedules follow-up visits and remains available for questions and support throughout your system's lifespan.
Professional installation sets the foundation for long-term system performance, but proper maintenance ensures your equipment continues protecting your water supply for years to come.
Every Home Is Different
Water treatment system installation looks different in a house that has stood for decades than it does in a home still being framed. Our licensed plumbers plan each job around the building in front of them.
Most existing-home installations go in at the point of entry, usually beside the pressure tank on a well system or where the main enters the house on municipal water. Any main line modifications are handled by our licensed plumbers so the connection meets Vermont plumbing code. Every system we install includes a bypass valve, so your house keeps water during filter changes and service visits. Brief shutoffs are needed while we tie into the plumbing, and those are measured in minutes, not hours.
New builds and major renovations let us rough in the treatment loop, drain and power during framing, before the walls are closed. If the home is on a new well, we test the water before choosing equipment, so the system matches what is actually coming out of the ground. We coordinate directly with the builder's plumber on location, sequencing and connections, so the equipment arrives when the mechanical room is ready and the finished space stays clean.
Replacements and Upgrades
You do not need to have bought your equipment from us to get help with it. Clear Water Filtration services all makes and models, including softeners, reverse osmosis units and UV systems installed by other companies.
We start by evaluating the existing system: how it was sized, how it was plumbed, whether the drain and bypass are correct, and whether the media or membrane still has useful life. When a repair makes sense, we make it. When the cost of keeping an old unit going is not worth it, we remove it, replace it with equipment matched to your current water test, reuse the plumbing that is sound, and retest the water once the new system is running.
If the system just needs service, see water softener and filtration system service and repair.
Ongoing Support
Professional installation sets the foundation for long-term system performance, but proper maintenance ensures your equipment continues protecting your water supply for years to come. Clear Water Filtration offers comprehensive maintenance plans for all equipment we install. Most homeowners pair a new system with one of our residential water treatment service plans.
We offer flexible maintenance schedules to match your system's requirements:
When your system needs replacement parts or custom components, we can often manufacture what is needed right here in our Waitsfield facility. This in-house manufacturing capability means faster service and reduced downtime for your water treatment system.
Water treatment emergencies do not follow convenient schedules. That is why Clear Water Filtration offers emergency service seven days a week from 7am to 9pm.
