Cleaner, Better-Tasting Water for the Rio Grande Valley
Water Treatment Systems & Filtration Installation
Treviño Repairs diagnoses your water concerns—taste/odor, hardness scale, sediment, chlorine/chloramines, iron or sulfur—and matches you with the right solution for your home or business. Options include whole-home softeners, carbon filtration, sediment prefilters, iron/sulfur treatments, UV disinfection, and point-of-use reverse osmosis. We verify sizing, pressure/flow, drain and electrical needs, and placement, then install to code with proper bypass/valving, program the system, and test for leaks and performance. When needed, we can recommend water testing to fine-tune your setup and walk you through simple maintenance for reliable, great-tasting water.
Services for Water Treatment Systems & Filtration
Treviño Repairs sizes, installs, and services whole-home and point-of-use systems to address hardness, taste/odor, sediment, chlorine/chloramines, iron/sulfur, and microbial concerns—so your water feels consistent and clean.
We install & service:
- Whole-home softeners (salt or potassium) and softener + carbon combos
- Carbon filtration (granular/block/catalytic for chloramine reduction)
- Sediment prefilters (spin-down, pleated, cartridge housings)
- Iron & sulfur reduction (air-injection, catalytic media, oxidation)
- UV disinfection (with required prefiltration)
- Reverse osmosis (RO) — under-sink/point-of-use; fridge/ice tie-ins; system manifolds
- Scale-control conditioners (TAC) where softening isn’t desired
- Specialty cartridges for taste/odor and targeted contaminant reduction
Setup & code items (as applicable):
- Bypass/manifold with isolation valves for easy service
- Proper drain connection with air gap where required
- Pressure checks and flow sizing for peak demand
- Electrical/GFCI for UV or booster pumps
- Dedicated RO faucet and optional fridge/icemaker supply
- Neat, code-compliant piping and anchoring
Maintenance & media services:
- Filter changes, RO membrane/post-filter replacement
- UV lamp/sleeve service and system sanitization
- Resin/media replacement and performance checks
How a Whole-Home Water Treatment System Works
A well-designed system stages each solution to a specific problem: sediment prefiltration catches sand/rust, carbon/catalytic media reduces chlorine/chloramines and odors, and a softener (or scale-control conditioner if you prefer no softening) addresses hardness and scale. For drinking water, add RO at the kitchen; include UV disinfection only when microbial protection is needed. We size media and valves to your home’s flow rate, pressure, and peak demand, then install clean bypass/valving and a code-compliant drain with air gap where required for easy service. Simple upkeep—filter/media changes and softener salt refills—keeps results consistent for your RGV home or business.
When to Install or Upgrade Water Treatment
If you’re noticing scale on fixtures or shower glass, dry skin, chlorine taste/odor, cloudy ice, orange/brown staining (iron), “rotten-egg” smell (sulfur), sediment in aerators, frequent filter clogs, or appliances wearing out early, your water likely needs targeted treatment. Treviño Repairs reviews your concerns, checks pressure/flow and plumbing layout, recommends water testing when helpful, then sizes the right setup—softener, carbon filtration, RO for drinking water, and UV only when needed—with clear options, code-compliant installation, and a simple maintenance plan.
What to Expect with Treviño Repairs
Our Water Treatment Installation Process
We keep it code-compliant, clean, and efficient so your lines protect your home or business.
Assess & Test. Review your water concerns, check pressure/flow, and perform on-site screening (hardness/chlorine/iron); recommend lab testing when helpful.
Size & Design. Match media/valve size to your home’s GPM, pressure, and peak demand; plan the staged layout (sediment → carbon → softener/conditioner, plus RO/UV if needed) and placement.
Protect & Prep. Shoe covers, drop cloths, safe shutoffs, clearances verified, mounting surface prepped, and route for a code-compliant drain with air gap where required.
Install Manifold & Bypass. Set clean bypass/isolation valves with unions, tidy piping, labeled flow direction, and secure anchoring for easy future service.
Set Equipment & Connect. Plumb softener/filters/UV/RO per design, connect RO faucet and optional fridge line, make neat electrical/GFCI connections where applicable, and leak-check as we go.
Program & Commission. Program hardness/backwash cycles, flush and sanitize media lines, set RO/UV parameters, and confirm proper operation.
Verify, Label & Walkthrough. Verify pressure/flow and taste/TDS where applicable, label valves and change schedules, clean up, haul away packaging, and review simple maintenance for your RGV home or business.
Real Stories. Real Results.
What Our Customers Are Saying
Water Treatment Installation Questions, Answered
Straightforward answers before you book—symptoms, costs, fixes.
Do I need a softener, filtration, or reverse osmosis?
Softener = removes hardness/scale; Filtration = reduces sediment, chlorine/chloramines, taste/odor (and targeted issues like iron/sulfur with the right media); RO = purified drinking water at a dedicated faucet (and optional fridge line). We’ll size and stage the right combo for your RGV home or business.
Do I need a water test first?
Often helpful. We can do quick on-site checks (hardness/chlorine/iron) and, when needed, recommend lab testing to fine-tune media selection and system sizing.
Will a softener make my water safe to drink?
A softener treats hardness—it doesn’t purify or remove most dissolved contaminants. If you want drinking-water purification, pair your whole-home setup with a point-of-use RO at the kitchen.
What maintenance should I expect?
Sediment filters: typically 3–6 months. Carbon media: ~12–24 months (capacity/usage dependent). Softener: salt refills and periodic resin checks. RO: periodic filter changes and membrane replacement. UV: lamp annually. We label schedules and review simple upkeep with you.
Will this affect water pressure or need power/drain connections?
Properly sized systems keep pressure drops minimal. Some equipment (UV, certain controls, RO pumps) requires power; RO and backwashing filters need a code-compliant drain with an air gap where required. We verify all of this during design.
