Halo Whole Home Water Filtration in Idaho

Licensed & insured local plumbers. Ask about current availability.

Mountain Time Plumbing installs Halo whole home water filtration systems. A Halo is a 10-year, no-maintenance system that treats the water where it enters your house, so clean drinking water reaches every fixture in the home, not just the kitchen tap. It uses no salt, it keeps the beneficial minerals in your water instead of stripping them out the way a reverse-osmosis system does, and it is backed by a 10-year warranty.

Problems We Can Help With

Chlorine taste and odor at the tap

Reverse-osmosis systems that strip beneficial minerals out of drinking water
Filter changes and service visits you have to keep track of

Warning Signs to Watch For

Catching problems early saves money and prevents bigger damage. Call us if you notice any of these warning signs.

Scale on fixtures and glassware alongside a chlorine taste, which is two problems rather than one
Wanting treated water at every tap rather than only at the kitchen sink
Reluctance to add salt to the water supply or to haul salt bags regularly
An existing softener that has failed or is past its service life
Skin and hair complaints that only started after moving to the valley
Appliances scaling up faster than their expected lifespan

Repair vs. Replacement Guidance

A whole-home conditioner has few moving parts, which makes the repair question relatively simple. Bypass valves, fittings, and control heads are serviceable. The media inside is the wear item, and its life depends heavily on incoming water quality, so a unit on hard well water will reach the end of its useful life sooner than the same unit on treated municipal supply. The clearest replacement signal is scale returning at fixtures despite the system running normally, which means the media is no longer doing its job. Repairing around exhausted media does not restore performance.

What It Costs

A whole-home system in the Halo class typically runs $3,500–$5,500 installed in the Treasure Valley. For comparison, a reverse-osmosis unit at the kitchen sink runs about $600–$1,200 installed but only treats that one faucet, and a salt-free conditioner runs about $1,500–$2,500 installed. Where your home lands in the Halo range depends on your incoming water, where the system has to tie into your main line, and what plumbing changes that connection requires. We don't quote water treatment over the phone. A plumber looks at your water and your main line first, then gives you the exact price on site before any work starts. Call (208) 993-0717 to get on the schedule.

We explain what we found, walk through repair options, and share the price before work starts.

Whole-home systems tie into the main line, where sizing and bypass have to be right the first time
A conditioner and a true softener behave differently, and the right choice depends on your hardness reading
Position relative to the water heater determines whether the heater is actually protected
Manufacturer warranties generally require documented professional installation
Pressure has to stay within the unit's operating range, which is checked before installation
Honest advice on whether one unit covers your water or a second stage is genuinely needed
