Kitchen water problems we fix
Better-tasting water at your kitchen sink: we help Hanover Park homeowners choose between carbon filters and reverse osmosis, then install the system, the faucet and the drain connection.
Hard well water
Hard well water scales faucets and fixtures. A softener ahead of the filter protects the system and your appliances.
Don't want to drill the counter
No drilling required in many cases: we use an existing hole or a system that feeds your current faucet.
PFAS and other contaminants
For PFAS and other emerging contaminants, we install systems with the matching NSF/ANSI certification.
Refrigerator filter not enough
We can connect the filter to your fridge's ice maker and water dispenser too.
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.
Pitcher filter is too slow
Under-sink filtration gives you a steady flow instead of refilling a pitcher all day.
Cloudy ice and spotted glasses
Mineral content leaves white spots on dishes and cloudy ice. An RO system gives you clear ice and spot-free water.
Included with the install
- Water checkWe review your utility's water report and look at your pipes before recommending a system.
- System selectionCarbon, catalytic carbon or reverse osmosis — matched to taste, lead or PFAS concerns.
- Under-sink installationMounting, supply connection and shut-off valve so service is easy later.

Finished kitchen: a satin brass filtered-water faucet next to the main faucet and a tankless reverse osmosis unit with a small remineralization cartridge under the sink. Work included under-sink installation, refrigerator line, plus filter change plan.

Under-Sink Water Filtration questions from Hanover Park homeowners
Is Lake Michigan water already safe?
It meets federal drinking-water standards when it leaves the plant. A kitchen filter deals with taste, chloramine and what your own pipes add.
Do I need a softener with a well?
Often yes — hard water and iron shorten filter life. A softener or pre-filter in front protects the drinking system.
Is reverse osmosis water safe to drink every day?
Yes — RO water is widely used for drinking. A remineralizing stage is optional.
Reverse osmosis or carbon filter?
Choose by what you want removed: carbon handles taste, chlorine and certified lead reduction; reverse osmosis adds minerals, PFAS and much more.
Do I need a plumber to install an under-sink filter?
Simple carbon filters are often DIY. Reverse osmosis needs a drain connection and sometimes a new faucet hole, which is where a pro helps.
Hanover Park water: how does it affect kitchen water filtration?
Hanover Park's water source: 100 percent Lake Michigan water, treated by City of Chicago; four emergency groundwater wells (not used for supply in 2022). That decides which filter stages make sense.
Hanover Park contractor registration: do kitchen contractors need it?
All contractors must be registered and bonded with the Village before a building permit is issued; apply via Inspectional Services. We take care of that before work starts.
Hanover Park building permit for kitchen water filtration: where do I apply?
Permits go through Inspectional Services Division (Hanover Park Fire Department), phone 630-823-5860. When your scope needs one, we prepare the application and schedule the inspections.
Do you work in my part of Hanover Park?
Yes. Our crews work across Hanover Park, including Ontarioville — ZIP 60133 — and nearby Bartlett, Roselle, Bloomingdale.
