Water Filtration Systems in Highland Park, IL
Hard water spots, a chlorine taste or scale on your fixtures? We test your water first, then recommend and install the filtration or softening system that fits. Serving Highland Park and the North Shore.
Types of Water Filtration We Install
The right system depends on what's in your water and what you want to change:
Whole-Home Filtration
Filters all the water entering the house, for taste, odor, chlorine and sediment at every tap.
Water Softeners
Removes the minerals that cause hard water, scale on fixtures and buildup in water heaters and pipes.
Under-Sink and Reverse Osmosis
Filtered drinking and cooking water at the kitchen sink.
Sediment Filters
Protects fixtures and appliances from grit and particles, especially in homes with older pipes.
Water Testing
Testing comes first. Before we recommend any system, we check your water for hardness and the other things that affect taste, scale and your plumbing. That way you pay for the system your water actually needs, not the most expensive one on the truck.
Testing is also worth doing when something changes: a new taste or smell, staining on fixtures, or scale building up faster than it used to. If a water heater failed early, hard water may have played a part, and testing tells you if a softener would protect the next one.
Water Treatment in Older Highland Park Homes
Nearly half of Highland Park homes were built before 1960. Older plumbing can affect your water as much as the water supply does.
Galvanized Pipes
Older galvanized water lines corrode from the inside, which can cause rust-colored water and grit at faucets. A sediment filter helps, but the long-term fix may be the pipes. See leak repairs.
Protecting Your Water Heater
Scale from hard water builds up in tank and tankless heaters and shortens their life. A softener can protect a new heater. See water heater installation.

"Matt W came out and worked a big job (water softener and sump pump) efficiently and with great attitude and humor! Ho got everything done quickly and was very informative"
★★★★★
"Ron was perfect. He came to do the job at hand and explained various pieces of information along the way that helped me understand the root causes of what we were dealing with and how to avoid problems in the future. [...] Didn't try and push the sale like some companies do, but was more or less educating on what the options were and what they entailed in full so we would know what to expect if we decided to go down those paths."

Water Filtration Questions From Highland Park Homeowners
A softener handles hard water. A filter handles taste, odor and sediment. Testing tells you which.
They do different things. A softener removes the minerals that cause hard water and scale. A filter removes things that affect taste, odor or clarity, like chlorine and sediment. Testing tells us which one, or both, makes sense for your home.
