Thoughtfully installed.
From whole-home water softeners to filtration and under-sink reverse osmosis systems, Shipwreck Plumbing helps you plan a clean, practical installation that fits your home.
WATER TREATMENT INSTALLATIONS
Solutions for better water at home.
Each system has different space, plumbing, drainage, and power requirements. We review your equipment and existing connections before confirming an installation plan.
Whole-home filtration systems
Connect whole-home filtration equipment at an appropriate point in the water supply, with access for future cartridge changes and maintenance.
Reverse osmosis drinking water
Install under-sink reverse osmosis systems, including drinking-water faucet and drain connections where compatible with the sink setup.
Prefilters & sediment filtration
Add prefiltration components where appropriate to help capture sediment before water enters downstream treatment equipment.
Bypass loops & isolation valves
Provide serviceable bypass and shutoff arrangements so equipment can be maintained while minimizing disruption to the home’s water supply.
Equipment connections & drain routing
Route required discharge tubing or piping to an approved drain connection and review nearby electrical outlet needs for powered equipment.
WHAT TO EXPECT
A careful installation, from start to finish.
01 · Share your equipment
Tell us which system you have or plan to purchase, where you want it installed, and whether existing hookups are available.
02 · Review connections & space
We review the water main, available space, service clearance, drain routing, and any electrical requirements specified by the manufacturer.
03 · Install & check operation
Once the scope is approved, we install the plumbing connections and check for leaks and proper flow. System startup follows the manufacturer’s instructions.
WHY HOMEOWNERS EXPLORE WATER TREATMENT
Is water treatment right for your home?
These concerns often lead homeowners to explore filtration or softening. The appropriate system depends on the water and the household’s goals.
Hard-water buildup
Mineral deposits on fixtures and scale in appliances may prompt homeowners to consider a water softener.
Taste or odor concerns
A drinking-water filtration or reverse osmosis system may be worth exploring after identifying the specific water-quality concern.
New or upgraded equipment
Moving into a home or upgrading a water treatment system is a good time to evaluate space, service access, and plumbing connections.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Water filtration & softener FAQs
Do you install customer-supplied systems?
Yes, we can review customer-supplied water softeners, whole-home filters, and reverse osmosis systems for installation compatibility. Please share the exact make and model.
Does a water softener need a drain?
Most salt-based softeners need an approved drain connection for regeneration discharge. The route and air-gap requirements depend on the equipment and installation location.
Will you need to open drywall?
Sometimes. Access to the water main or an appropriate drain may require opening finished surfaces. We’ll discuss anticipated access and any drywall repair exclusions before work begins.
Does a reverse osmosis system need a separate faucet?
Many under-sink reverse osmosis systems use a dedicated drinking-water faucet. We’ll review available sink openings, faucet placement, and the required drain connection.
