Water filtration leads FAQ
Straight answers for California plumbers and installers: what we sell, pricing, canceling, refunds, licenses, ZIPs and lead guarantees.
What does FilterLeads CA sell?
We sell exclusive water filtration leads to licensed California plumbers. When you sign up, you lock ZIP territory, and filtration leads in those ZIPs are routed to you, not shared with competing shops.
What are filter leads?
A filter lead is a homeowner in California who has asked for help with water treatment at home: drinking water filtration, hard water, taste or odor, or a whole-house system. Each lead is a real request from a homeowner in one of your ZIPs, not a purchased list or a cold contact.
What kinds of water treatment leads are included?
The full water treatment mix that comes in for your ZIPs: under-sink reverse osmosis, whole-house carbon filtration, water softener and hard-water requests, and general filtration questions. You do not have to buy each type separately.
How are these leads different from shared lead services?
Many lead services sell the same homeowner request to several companies, so you race other companies to the phone. FilterLeads CA locks each ZIP to one member. A request in your locked ZIP goes to you only. See exclusive water filtration leads.
How much does it cost?
The current offer is $49/mo for 3 exclusive ZIPs, unlimited leads, no promises. There is no lead-count promise; demand varies by ZIP and season. See the plans page.
How do I pay?
By card through Stripe, billed monthly. It renews each month. Cancel anytime and billing stops at your next billing date.
Do you give refunds?
No. There are no refunds, including partial months. If you cancel, you keep access until your next billing date.
Do you guarantee leads?
No. We do not guarantee any number or quality of leads. Leads are sent when homeowners in your ZIPs request help. Some months may have none.
Are leads exclusive?
Yes. The product design is exclusive ZIP territory lock, not a shared auction feed.
Which parts of California can I lock?
Any California ZIP that is still open. Regional pages show common ZIP groupings for the Inland Empire, San Diego County and other California regions. List backup ZIPs when you sign up in case one is taken.
What’s the founding offer?
Founding members get early territory access and the current offer: $49/mo for 3 exclusive ZIPs, unlimited leads, no promises. Sign up online. Cancel anytime. Details on the Founding offer page.
Do I need to be a licensed plumber?
Yes. FilterLeads CA is for licensed California plumbing / filtration installers. We verify before assigning territory.
How do I cancel?
Email leads@cafilterleads.com or use the Stripe link in your receipt. Billing stops at your next billing date, and you keep access until then. There are no refunds, including partial months.
Can the price or lead limits change?
We may update plan features, lead limits or pricing, but we will email you at least 30 days before any change takes effect, and you can cancel before then. See the terms.
Which California license do I need for water filter and softener jobs?
A C-36 plumbing license or CSLB's C-55 Water Conditioning license can both work. The C-55 class covers installing water treatment equipment and the pipe and fittings needed to connect it, and a C-36 plumber can also do the wider plumbing a job may need. Any job of $1,000 or more, or one that needs a permit, requires a license. See water softener leads for local softener rules.
How do I pick my ZIPs?
Pick ZIPs where you already work and know the housing stock, ideally next to each other, so drive time stays short and follow-up is fast. Name backup ZIPs in case a first choice is taken. We review availability before assigning territory.
Can I share or resell the leads?
No. Use homeowner contact details only to respond to that homeowner's filtration request. Keep them secure, don't resell or share them, and follow all laws that apply to calls, texts and email.
How should I think about ROI?
Use your real average job contribution and close rate. Example: if one closed filtration job nets $1,500 after costs, a single close covers many months of a $49 territory fee. That is educational math only; lead volume and close rates vary and are not guaranteed. See the plans page.
What happens after I sign up?
We review your license and requested ZIPs and confirm your territory by email. After that, we email you leads for your ZIPs when they come in.
How are territories assigned?
Assignment is not automatic. We review licensing, filtration fit and ZIP availability, then confirm your ZIPs by email. Only one member holds each ZIP at a time.
What does a lead include?
Homeowner name, phone, email (if provided), ZIP, and optional notes such as taste/odor concerns, under-sink vs whole-house interest, and timing. Confirm job details with the homeowner.
