Chicago Water Filtration: What Homeowners Should Know
In Chicago, the water quality can sometimes fall short due to factors such as chlorine, hard water, and aging infrastructure. Lead in older pipes is still a concern for many homeowners, and it’s crucial to address these issues with the right filtration system.
A high-quality water filtration system can remove:
- Chlorine: Commonly used in municipal water treatment, but it can affect the taste and smell of water.
- Lead and Heavy Metals: Especially a concern in homes with older plumbing systems and lead main pipes.
- Hard Water: Causes mineral buildup, stains on appliances, and can affect the feel of your skin and hair after showering.
- Bacteria and Viruses: Filtration systems can help reduce harmful pathogens and ensure your water is safe to drink.
Types of Water Filtration Systems We Install
At First Chicago Plumbing, we offer a variety of water filtration systems to suit your home’s specific needs.
Whole House Water Filtration Systems
A whole-house water filtration system is designed to filter all the water that enters your home, providing clean water for drinking, cooking, and bathing. This system is ideal for families who want to ensure the water used throughout the house is safe and clean.
Under-Sink Water Filtration Systems
Under-sink filtration systems focus on providing clean drinking water by filtering only the water from your kitchen sink. These systems are a great choice for homeowners who are primarily concerned with improving the quality of their drinking water.
Reverse Osmosis Systems
Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems provide some of the most effective filtration available for purifying drinking water. A RO system works by forcing water through a membrane that filters out contaminants at a microscopic level. This technology provides superior filtration for drinking water, and when combined with additional filters, it offers a complete solution for your home.
These systems are particularly beneficial for removing harmful substances like lead, fluoride, chlorine, and other chemicals. In Chicago, where lead pipes remain a concern in older homes, a reverse osmosis system is a smart choice for families who want to ensure their water is as pure as possible.

Understanding the Cost of Water Filtration Installation
The cost of water filtration installation can vary depending on several factors:
- Type of System: Whole-house filtration systems generally cost more than under-sink systems or reverse osmosis systems due to their size and complexity.
- Installation Complexity: Systems that require more extensive plumbing work or are harder to access may incur higher installation fees.
- Additional Services: If you need water quality testing or advanced filtration options like reverse osmosis, this will influence the overall cost.
Most homeowners view filtration as a long-term investment, protecting their plumbing, appliances, and health while improving water quality throughout the home.
