Our city water treatment plant, the Sewerage & Water Board of New Orleans (SWBNO), does what it can. But in the Greater New Orleans area, with our high humidity, frequent storms, and complex water supply lines, that’s often not enough. Contaminants like chlorine, iron, and bacteria can still make it to your sink, shower, and dishwasher. And recent concerns over saltwater intrusion from the Gulf of Mexico have only raised more red flags about the potential corrosion in pipes and appliances. Keefe’s Air Conditioning, Heating, Electrical, Generator & Plumbing offers a real solution: a whole-home filtration system that guards every drop from the moment it enters your home. No more harsh smells, cloudy glasses, or hidden damage — just clean, clear, worry-free water. For Fast Relief, Call KEEFE!
While NOLA tap water meets federal standards, that doesn’t mean it’s free from problems once it travels through miles of old plumbing. Residents often deal with unpleasant odor, strange taste, and visible stains caused by hard water minerals. A whole-home filtration system ensures that every drop you drink, bathe in, or cook with is clean and reliable, regardless of what happens on its journey to your home.

Installing a whole-home water filtration system in the Greater New Orleans area isn’t just about better-tasting drinking water. It’s a total upgrade for your entire home.
Technically, yes. SWBNO reports that New Orleans tap water meets federal standards. But “safe” doesn’t always mean pleasant or free from chlorine, sediment, bacteria, or rust picked up from aging pipes. A HALO home water filtration system adds a vital layer of protection so you can trust every glass you pour.
We offer FREE in-home water quality testing to check for common contaminants like lead, chlorine, iron, bacteria, nitrate, and microplastics. For Fast Relief, Call KEEFE!
If you notice soap scum, dry skin, or white spots on dishes, it’s a sign of hard water. We’ll confirm with a quick FREE test.
That chalky residue is usually caused by hard water, which leaves behind calcium and magnesium mineral deposits during each wash cycle. A whole-home water softening system eliminates that issue entirely, leaving your dishes crystal clear without added rinse aids or frustration.
Yes! By removing chlorine and other harsh chemicals, filtered water can reduce skin irritation and improve hair texture and moisture.
Yes, especially advanced systems like reverse osmosis, which are highly effective at removing microplastics along with other contaminants. According to researchers, “Switching from bottled water to tap water could reduce microplastic intake from 90,000 to 4,000 particles per year, making it an impactful intervention.” With the right system, you’ll reduce plastic waste and exposure.
Water softening targets minerals like calcium and magnesium to fight hard water, while filtration systems remove a broader range of contaminants like chemicals, sediment, and bacteria.
Quite the opposite! These systems prevent corrosion, staining, and scale buildup, extending the life of your water heater, dishwasher, and washing machine.
Most installations take just a few hours. We handle everything from valve setup to tank placement to pipe connections, just like we do with all plumbing installations!
Absolutely! While whole-home filtration is the most comprehensive option, we also install point-of-use systems, like under-sink filters and reverse osmosis units, depending on your needs, space, and budget. Our licensed plumbers will help you pick the right setup, whether you want to treat just your kitchen sink or your entire plumbing system.
Most of the whole-home filtration systems Keefe’s installs don’t require frequent filter changes. In fact, many are self-cleaning or maintenance-free for years. We’ll help you choose the right system for your home and guide you on any upkeep so you don’t have to guess or remember when to replace anything.
