Protect Your New Water Heater with Whole-Home Water Filtration

Installing a new water heater is a major upgrade—but without proper water filtration, hard water and contaminants can shorten its lifespan and reduce efficiency. That’s why Baker recommends pairing your water heater with a HALO® whole-home water system.

Why Filtration Matters

– Prevents Scale Buildup: Hard water minerals like calcium and magnesium can clog pipes and damage heating elements.
– Improves Efficiency: Clean water heats faster and uses less energy.
– Extends Appliance Life: Protects your water heater, dishwasher, washing machine, and plumbing.
– Healthier Water: Removes chlorine, VOCs, sediment, and other contaminants.
