Filters, softeners and purification systems each solve a different water problem. We match the system to what you want to change.
Many Detroit area homes want cleaner or softer water. We install whole-house filters, water softeners and purification systems such as reverse osmosis under the sink. A whole-house filter removes sediment and chlorine taste at the point where water enters the house. A softener reduces hardness that leaves scale on fixtures, water heaters and boiler parts. We start by asking what you notice, such as taste, odor, spots or scale.
The right system depends on what is in your water and what you want to change. Older homes may also have lead service lines or old plumbing, and filtration is not a substitute for replacing them. A filter certified for lead reduction can help in the meantime. We can explain which certifications to look for and where the system should be installed for your plumbing.
Every system needs maintenance. Filter cartridges must be changed on schedule, softeners need salt, and reverse osmosis membranes wear out. We set up the system, show you what to replace and when, and give you the price before installation. In a basement with limited space near the water meter, we plan the layout before the job starts.
Water filtration in Detroit: common questions
Will a water filter remove lead?
Only filters certified for lead reduction do. A filter does not replace a lead service line. Ask your water utility whether your home has one.
Do I need a water softener?
If you see scale on faucets, spots on dishes or buildup in the water heater, a softener can help. A water test shows how hard your water is.
How often do filters need changing?
It depends on the system and your water use. Most cartridges are changed every few months to a year. We give you the schedule for your system.
