The water in our homes is naturally full of minerals like calcium and magnesium. High levels of these minerals cause “hard water” and can lead to issues ranging from scale buildup in your water heater to spots on your dishes or even dry skin after showering. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing Tyler is a leading water filtration system installer.
Water filters remove minerals from your water, like excess iron, sulfur, chlorine, organic sediments, pesticides, herbicides, or industrial solvents. They can also filter out PFAS, lead, and improve the smell and taste of your water. Perks of water filters include:
Healthier and softer skin and clothing
Odor-free tap water
Water from faucets that’s safe to drink

For residents of Tyler, TX, and surrounding East Texas cities, knowing what’s in your home’s water is crucial.

East Texas Water Issues
Residents in East Texas, Tyler, Longview, and Whitehouse, should feel confident about the water in their homes. While municipal water providers diligently work to meet safety standards, various issues can still impact your water quality and your family’s peace of mind. PFAS “forever chemicals,” are a growing concern. PFAS are not currently detected above regulated safety limits in Tyler’s water. New federal limits from the EPA highlight a growing concern across Texas, making an added layer of filtration a smart preventative measure.
Beyond emerging contaminants, here are common water issues that a filtration system can address:
Excessive Chlorine and Chloramine: Used for disinfection, these chemicals can leave an unpleasant taste, odor, and even affect your skin and hair.
Iron: Causes staining on fixtures and laundry, and can give water a metallic taste.
Lead: Especially a concern in older homes with outdated plumbing, lead can leach into water and pose serious health risks.
E. coli Contamination: While rare, bacterial contamination can occur and requires immediate attention for safety.
Excessive Bromate: A byproduct of certain water treatment processes, high levels can be a concern.
High levels of Geosmin: This naturally occurring compound can cause your water to have an undesirable earthy or musty taste and smell.
To truly know and trust what’s in your home’s water, we strongly recommend getting it tested. Contact Benjamin Franklin Plumbing Tyler today, and we’ll arrange for a thorough water analysis with an independent EPA-certified lab, both before and after installation, to demonstrate the effectiveness of your new filtration system.

We Offer More Than Water Filtration
Water Softener
Water softeners improve the quality and feel of the water in your home. With both a softener and a water filtration system, the water in your home should be of the best quality for use and consumption.
Water softeners remove unwanted minerals from your water that can cause buildups in your pipes and appliances, and cause dry skin and hair.
Water Heater Repair
Hot water has become an essential part of our lives. However, if your water is constantly cold and your hot water doesn’t last long, it could be time to repair your water heater. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing Tyler also provides services for upgrading your water heater.
Regardless of the water heater services you need, we are here to get the job done right.
Drain Cleaning
Clogged drains can cause issues for your home. It can be something simple like material stuck in the pee trap. Or it can be something much more critical, like roots growing into your pipes.
Our plumbing experts have the tools and technology to complete the job quickly and efficiently. Then, we will diagnose the issue and complete the work to get you back to normal.
Water Softener vs Water Filtration System
Generally speaking, a standard water filtration system (like a whole-home carbon filter or many under-sink filters) is designed to remove contaminants that affect the health, taste, and odor of your water. Think chlorine, sediment, pesticides, certain chemicals like PFAS, lead, and other impurities. These filters work by trapping particles or absorbing dissolved substances.
However, these typical filtration systems are not primarily designed to remove the minerals that cause hard water, which are mainly dissolved calcium and magnesium. These mineral ions are simply too small for most standard filters to catch. That’s where a water softener comes in. A softener uses a different process (ion exchange) to specifically target and remove those hardness minerals, preventing scale buildup and extending appliance life.
So, while a top-tier filtration system (especially one with reverse osmosis, which can remove a significant amount of dissolved minerals including calcium) will make your water much cleaner and safer to drink, it won’t typically soften all the water in your home like a dedicated water softener will. They address different, though equally important, water quality concerns.
Call (903) 730-6611 For Your Water Filtration System Needs
A water filtration system works by passing water through various physical barriers or specialized media that capture or absorb impurities. Different types of filters use methods like physical sieving, adsorption (where contaminants stick to the filter material like activated carbon), or ion exchange to remove unwanted particles, chemicals, and dissolved substances, leaving cleaner water.
Generally, a whole home water filtration system combined with a reverse osmosis (RO) system is considered the most effective type of home water filtration for removing the widest range of contaminants. RO systems use a semi-permeable membrane that, under pressure, forces water molecules through tiny pores while rejecting even very small dissolved solids and impurities, including many that other filters might miss.
PFAS:Activated carbon filters and reverse osmosis (RO) systems are highly effective at removing PFAS, with RO generally offering superior removal rates. Brita PRO® features specialized systems, like their PFAS Titanium Series, designed specifically to reduce these “forever chemicals” throughout your entire home.
Iron:Dedicated iron filters, which often use oxidation followed by a filtration media, are ideal for removing iron to prevent staining and metallic tastes. Brita PRO® also offers Iron Platinum Series systemsthat are specifically designed to remove unwanted iron.
Calcium:Standard water filtration systems do not effectively remove calcium, as it’s a dissolved mineral; a dedicated water softeneris designed for this. While reverse osmosis, such as the Brita PRO® under-sink RO system, can significantly reduce calcium in drinking water, it’s not a whole-house softening solution. Look at our water softener solutions here.
Sulfur: For the “rotten egg” smell caused by hydrogen sulfide, specialized systems that oxidize sulfur followed by a catalytic carbon filtration bed are very effective. Brita PRO® systems can be customized to address specific issues like sulfur to eliminate unpleasant tastes and odors.
Yes, but we only offer a warranty on the Brita PRO system.
