What it is
What Whole-Home Water Filtration does for your home
Whole-home filtration sits where your main water line enters the house, treating every gallon before it reaches a single fixture. Kansas City municipal water is safe to drink, but it carries chlorine and chloramine disinfectants, sediment from aging mains, and the occasional musty taste that comes from river-source supply. A whole-home system removes those at the source — so the water at your kitchen sink, in your shower, and running through your washing machine is the same clean, odor-free quality.
The signs
Signs your home needs Whole-Home Water Filtration
If any of these sound familiar, a free in-home water test will tell you whether this is the fix.
- Chlorine and chloramine smell that hits you the second you turn on a tap or step into a hot shower
- Dry, itchy skin and brittle hair after every shower — the disinfectants don't stop at the glass
- Faint chemical or earthy taste in drinking water straight from the tap
- Sediment and rust particles from older city mains that clog aerators and discolor fixtures
- Chlorine gas released in hot showers that aggravates asthma and sensitive lungs
How it works
Our Whole-Home Water Filtration process
Four steps from free test to lifetime-backed system — no pressure, no surprises.
- 1
Free in-home water test
We test your water on the spot for chlorine, hardness, pH, and sediment, then show you exactly what's in it — no lab fees, no obligation.
- 2
System sized to your home
We match the filtration tank and media to your household size, water pressure, and the specific contaminants your test turned up — not a one-size box off a shelf.
- 3
Free professional installation
Our KC-based technicians install the system at your main line, plumb it in cleanly, and walk you through operation. The $500+ install is on us, every time.
- 4
Lifetime support & service
Annual media checks, filter changes, and tune-ups keep the system working for the life of the unit — backed by our lifetime dry-parts warranty.
American-made parts
What goes into a Cathcart system
Every system is built with American-made components — control valves from Wisconsin, tanks from Ohio, resin from New Jersey, and carbon from Ohio.
Carbon filtration media
Jacobi Group activated carbon (Ohio) adsorbs chlorine, chloramine, VOCs, and taste-and-odor compounds across the whole home.
Enpress treatment tank
A corrosion-resistant Enpress LLC tank (Ohio) holds the media and handles your home's full flow rate without pressure drop.
Hanskraft control valve
A Hanskraft valve (Wisconsin) manages backwashing and flow so the media recharges itself automatically — no daily upkeep from you.

Pricing, honestly
No surprises, no high-pressure sales
We don't post a fixed price online because the right system depends on your home's size, water pressure, and what your free test finds — a 1-bathroom ranch in Riverside needs a different setup than a 4-bathroom new build in Leawood. What we do promise: transparent, no-pressure pricing quoted over the phone or in person, free installation on every new system (a $500+ value), and financing options so the monthly cost fits your budget. You'll know the full price before we touch a pipe.

“The chlorine smell in our shower is completely gone. My skin stopped itching within a week. The install crew was in and out in a morning and left everything spotless.”
“We can finally drink from the tap again. The water tastes clean, not like a swimming pool. Best part — the installation was free and they didn't push us on anything.”
“Whole-home filtration was the move. Every faucet runs clear now and the rust grit that used to clog our aerators is gone. Lifetime warranty gave us peace of mind.”
