Water Treatment
Whole Home Water Filtration in Las Vegas
Filtration and softening solve different problems and are frequently sold as if they were the same. A whole home filter targets taste, odour, chlorine and sediment. It does not remove hardness, so it will not stop scale or protect your water heater. If scale is the complaint, the answer is a softener.
What is included
The work itself
Whole home filtration installation
Carbon and sediment filtration installed at the point of entry, sized to the household's flow rate.
Filter changes and service
Scheduled cartridge and media replacement so flow rate does not quietly drop off.
Water quality assessment
Working out whether the complaint is hardness, taste, sediment or pressure before anything is sold.
Worth knowing
Before you book
Filtration or softening
The honest answer is often both, sometimes neither. We tell you which of the two your complaint actually points to.
Point of entry sizing
An undersized filter housing becomes a pressure restriction for the whole house.
Sediment after main work
Utility main work and hydrant flushing can push sediment into a house. That is a filtration problem, not a fixture problem.
Where we do this
Across the Las Vegas Valley
What changes between these places is the permitting authority, the water utility and the age of the housing, and all three change how this job goes.

Questions
Water Filtration, answered
How hard is the water in Las Vegas?
Las Vegas Valley Water District publishes valley tap water at roughly 291 parts per million, about 17 grains per gallon, and classifies it as very hard, around two and a half times the national norm. The minerals come from the Colorado River through Lake Mead. It is the single biggest reason water heaters, fixture cartridges and dishwashers wear out faster here than their rated life suggests.
Do I need a permit to replace a water heater in Las Vegas?
Yes. Clark County, the City of Las Vegas and the City of North Las Vegas all require a permit for a replacement as much as for a new installation. Which of the three you deal with depends on your address rather than your mailing city, because a Las Vegas postal address can sit in unincorporated Clark County. We pull the permit and meet the inspector as part of the job.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Monkey Wrench Contractors LLC holds Nevada State Contractors Board licence 0092999 and trades as Monkey Wrench Plumbing. We are a BBB accredited business with an A plus rating, and every technician is background checked. About thirty minutes before your appointment you get a text with the assigned technician's photo, name, licence number and live ETA.
Do you charge for an estimate?
No. The inspection is free and you get a flat-rate price before any work begins, so the number you approve is the number you pay. If the scope changes once something is opened up, we stop and re-quote rather than adding to the invoice at the end.
Are you actually available 24 hours a day?
Yes, dispatch runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on (702) 900-5992. If water is actively running and you cannot stop it, shut off your main first and call second, because that one step is the difference between a wet floor and a flooded one.
Is there help with the cost of finding a leak?
There can be. The Southern Nevada Water Authority runs a Leak Detection Assistance Program that gives qualifying single-family customers a voucher worth up to $250 toward leak diagnosis or the first hours of repair. You apply as the account holder before work begins and use a participating plumber, and it is one voucher per property per calendar year.
