Planning whole-house water treatment in Los Cabos

A point-of-use system serves a particular tap; a point-of-entry system treats water entering the home. Start with a water test and choose equipment for the substances identified. Check which contaminants the exact model is documented to reduce. A filter that improves taste does not necessarily make water safe to drink. CDC guidance on choosing filters.

• Where does the water come from, and does the source change between deliveries?
• What are the cistern capacity, pump details, supply pressure and pipe size?
• How many bathrooms and other fixtures may operate together?
• Where could equipment be serviced, with access to power or drainage if the selected model requires it?
• Which tests are available, where were samples taken, and when?

Take photos of the tank, pump, pipework and proposed equipment location. The installer needs these details to assess how the equipment will fit and work at your property.

Use the sediment-filtration options to discuss visible particles, the softener, scale inhibitor and RO comparison to distinguish different goals, and system add-ons when discussing your treatment plan. Ask what each stage treats and what it leaves untreated.

Request the exact model, installation scope, bypass arrangement, replacement components, service access, warranty and maintenance schedule in writing. Ask who will verify performance after installation and how it will be checked over time.

For drinking and cooking water only, also compare garrafón supply and a kitchen treatment system. You can request water testing before selecting equipment.
