Better Water, Start to Finish

Vernon's water is hard, mineral-heavy, and in some areas carries taste and odor issues that no single tap filter is going to solve. Scale shortens the life of tanks, fixtures, and appliances — and you feel it in every shower.

We install whole-home water softeners, filtration, UV systems, and reverse osmosis drinking water setups across Vernon and surrounding North Okanagan communities — from municipal supply in Mission Hill and downtown Vernon to well systems on Bella Vista, Commonage, and Lavington acreages. Every install starts with an actual water test — not a sales pitch — so you only pay for what your water actually needs.

  • Whole-home water softeners
  • Carbon filtration for taste & chlorine
  • UV systems for well water
  • Reverse osmosis drinking systems
  • Iron & sulfur removal
  • Water testing & diagnostics
What We Handle

Water Purification Services for Vernon Homes

  1. Water Softeners

    Scale on fixtures and dry skin after every shower? A proper softener removes the hardness that Vernon's water brings into your home.

  2. Whole-Home Filtration

    Carbon-based systems that reduce chlorine, taste, and odor at every tap — not just one filter under the kitchen sink.

  3. UV Disinfection

    For well water or rural properties near Vernon, UV systems kill bacteria and make the supply safe without chemicals.

  4. Reverse Osmosis (Drinking)

    RO systems at the kitchen tap give you bottled-quality drinking water without buying or recycling bottles every week.

  5. Iron & Sulfur Removal

    Rust stains, rotten-egg smell, orange fixtures — we install systems targeted at the specific contaminant, not a one-size-fits-all box.

  6. Service & Cartridge Replacement

    Existing system needs servicing? We maintain and replace filters, media, and UV bulbs on a schedule that matches your water.

How It Works

Treat the Actual Problem

  1. Water Test First

    Every job starts with testing — hardness, chlorine, iron, pH, bacteria. You can't treat water properly without knowing what's in it.

  2. System Recommendation

    Based on real test results, we recommend only what your water needs — softener, filter, UV, RO, or a combination.

  3. Clear Quote

    Equipment, install, plumbing changes, and any electrical — all itemized. No vague 'package prices' that hide what you're actually buying.

  4. Professional Install

    Licensed plumbers handle the install, plumb it in cleanly, and commission the system so it's running properly from day one.

  5. Maintenance Schedule

    We walk you through filter changes, salt refills, or UV bulb timelines — and you can book service with us to handle it for you.

Why Stevenson

Why Vernon Homes Choose Us for Water Treatment

Test Before We Recommend

We don't sell systems blind. A real water test tells us what's actually in your supply — and what equipment will make a difference.

Plumbers, Not Salespeople

Our techs are licensed plumbers first. You get technical answers, not a scripted upsell to the priciest package.

Vernon-Specific Experience

We know Vernon's municipal water, the common well-water issues in rural pockets, and how each behaves over a full year.

Real Ongoing Support

Filters, salt, UV bulbs — we handle the maintenance so the system keeps doing its job long after install day.

Common Questions

Water Purification FAQ — Vernon, BC

Yes. Vernon's water is measurably hard, which is why you see scale on fixtures, spotting on dishes, and reduced lifespan on hot water tanks. A softener makes a noticeable difference.

Many Vernon homeowners on municipal water benefit from a softener purely for scale control and appliance longevity, even though the water is safe to drink.

Well water often needs testing for bacteria, iron, and hardness. Depending on results, a combination of softener, filtration, and UV is common.

Whole-home filters handle taste, chlorine, and sediment at every tap. Reverse osmosis is point-of-use (usually the kitchen) and produces very pure drinking water.

Typically every 1–3 months depending on water hardness and household size. We'll set realistic expectations based on your test results.

Yes. We service existing softeners, RO systems, and UV units — cartridge replacements, media swaps, and bulb changes — even if we didn't install them originally.

Shadd and his team are absolutely wonderful and did a great job. I needed a basement sink plumbed and new washer dryer hookups and they were able to get it done in short order, kept everything tidy and were super easy to deal with. They knew my budget and worked with me to stay within it and gave me everything I needed. They are very professional, skilled and their prices are more than reasonable. I would highly recommend them to everyone!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY US! 4 weeks ago, our hot water and air conditioning quit working on the same day! I called and spoke with the AMAZING Denise, she had Alex out at our shop within the day and he had everything diagnosed and parts ordered, not long after the first appointment, he had our hot water back in working order and then our A/C was repaired after that! Anytime we have had any issues, they have been very prompt to show up on the same day and Alex fixed it all! Such amazing and friendly services! You all have a forever client with Integra Tire and our team moving forward! Thank You!

Plumbing problems are never fun, but we appreciated how Stevenson Mechanical handled the replacement of our sump pump --from booking the appointment to the on-time arrival of our plumber and his friendly, competent service (which included persevering through some unexpected issues). Thank you for your expertise and excellent service!

This company is great! We needed to have our air conditioning unit disconnected and moved temporarily as we were getting our backyard patio redone. They were able to accommodate our last minute request, they completed the work quickly and got our unit reconnected just in time to beat the heat ! I would highly recommend them!
