Under-sink reverse osmosis drinking water system
Water filtration

“The water tastes like a swimming pool.”

Taste, smell and grit are all fixable, once you know what's causing them.

A whole-house filter treats every tap, catching sediment and reducing chlorine taste and odor. An under-sink reverse osmosis system gives you very clean drinking and cooking water at the kitchen sink.

Your plumber looks at what you're noticing and recommends the right filter, or a softener if hardness is the real problem. Then we install it and show you how to change the filters.

Whole house or one tap?

Two ways to filter your water.

Many homes use a whole-house filter for every tap and a drinking water system at the kitchen sink.

Every tap

Whole-house filter

A whole-home carbon filter installed where the water enters the house, so every faucet and shower gets water without the chlorine taste and smell.

Protects fixtures and appliances from sediment.

Kitchen sink

Reverse osmosis drinking water

A reverse osmosis system under the kitchen sink, with its own small faucet for drinking and cooking water.

Filters are changed on a schedule, and we'll show you how.

What affects the price

  • What's in your water
  • Whole-house, under-sink or both
  • Plumbing changes and drain connection
  • Filter and cartridge type

How a whole-home filter goes in

We fit the filter housing on the main water line where it enters the house, add shut-off valves on either side so cartridges are easy to change, then flush it and check for leaks.

How an under-sink system goes in

The filter unit sits in the cabinet under your kitchen sink and taps into the cold water line. We add its own small faucet beside your main one, connect its drain line under the sink, then flush it and check for leaks.

Water filtration FAQs

Questions about water filtration

Cost, order and reverse osmosis.

How much does a water filtration system cost? +

It depends on whether you want a whole-house filter, an under-sink system or both, and what's in your water. In-home estimates are free, and you get a written price before any work starts.

In what order should water filters be installed? +

Usually sediment first, then carbon, then a softener if you have one. A reverse osmosis system goes under the kitchen sink at the end of the line. Your plumber sets it up to suit your water.

Does reverse osmosis water taste different? +

Most people find it tastes clean and neutral, because it removes most dissolved minerals. Some systems add minerals back for taste.

How often do filters need changing? +

It depends on the filter and your water use. Sediment and carbon cartridges are typically changed every few months, and reverse osmosis filters on their own schedule. We'll leave you the details for your system.

Can I finance it? +

Yes. Financing is available through Wisetack on jobs of $500 or more. You can check your options from home in a couple of minutes. All financing is subject to credit approval.
