Kitchen water problems we fix
Better-tasting water at your kitchen sink: we help Bloomingdale homeowners choose between carbon filters and reverse osmosis, then install the system, the faucet and the drain connection.
Hard water and scale
Scale is a hardness problem. We'll tell you whether an under-sink system is enough or a softener makes sense too.
Cloudy ice and spotted glasses
Hard-water spots on glassware and cloudy ice cubes improve with reverse osmosis at the sink.
Don't want to drill the counter
Some systems connect to your existing faucet or use the sprayer hole, so no new hole is needed.
Refrigerator filter not enough
We can connect the filter to your fridge's ice maker and water dispenser too.
PFAS and other contaminants
Many people now ask about PFAS. Look for systems certified to reduce PFOA/PFOS; reverse osmosis covers the widest range.
Buying bottled water
Cases of bottled water are expensive and heavy. A filtered tap at the sink costs far less per gallon.
Chlorine taste and smell
Tap water that smells like a swimming pool is common with treated municipal water. A carbon stage removes chlorine taste and odor.
What the install includes
- Water checkA look at your water source and plumbing so the system matches what is actually in your water.
- Under-sink installationThe filter housing mounted under the sink with a shut-off valve and leak-free fittings.
- Drain connection for ROA proper drain saddle or air gap so reverse osmosis drains to code.
- Refrigerator lineOptional line to the fridge so ice and water come from the same filter.
- Filter change planReminders and easy cartridge swaps so the filter keeps working.
- Whole-house optionsPoint-of-use filtration at the sink, plus whole-house treatment when your water needs it.

Under-Sink Water Filtration questions from Bloomingdale homeowners
Is Lake Michigan water already safe?
Treated Lake Michigan water meets federal standards, but taste, chloramine and household plumbing can still be reasons to filter at the tap.
Will a filter lower my water pressure?
Your regular faucet keeps full pressure. Only the separate filtered tap runs through the system.
Whole-house filter or under-sink?
It depends on the problem: taste and contaminants — under-sink; scale and sediment — whole-house.
Are under-sink water filters worth it?
For most households that drink tap water, yes — especially with chloramine taste or older pipes.
Does RO waste water?
RO sends some water to the drain while it filters. Modern systems are much more efficient than older ones.
Bloomingdale plumbing code: who can do the plumbing for kitchen water filtration?
Plumbing license required depending on permit type, and a Letter of Intent is required for all plumbing work. Our plumbing connections are made by licensed plumbers.
Bloomingdale building permit for kitchen water filtration: where do I apply?
Permits go through Building & Zoning Department, phone (630) 671-5660. When your scope needs one, we prepare the application and schedule the inspections.
Do I need a Bloomingdale-registered contractor for kitchen water filtration?
No registration application or fee to work as a contractor in Bloomingdale. Permit submittals need a detailed written scope of work. We take care of that before work starts.
Does Bloomingdale have lead service lines?
Village has a service line material inventory (available from Public Works, 630-671-5800). A filter certified for lead reduction is a sensible step until your line is confirmed or replaced.
