Water Testing

Water Testing in Lincoln Park

We test what affects your plumbing and your taste, like hardness, chlorine and sediment, and explain the results plainly.

Chicago's water comes from Lake Michigan and is treated and tested by the city. The pipes inside an older building are a separate question. For health-related testing, a state-certified lab can run a full panel, and we'll point you to one.

Condos

Filtration Options for Condo Units

In a condo, a whole-house filter may not be practical if the main shutoff for your unit is hard to reach. Point-of-use filters work well instead. An under-sink filter or reverse osmosis system at the kitchen sink covers drinking and cooking water, and a filtered showerhead can reduce chlorine in the bath. We'll match the system to your unit and your building's rules.

Pricing

What Affects the Price of Filtration

Under-sink and reverse osmosis systems are the most common in condos. Whole-house systems depend on access to the main line. We check your space and quote a flat price.
