Chloramine in Lake Michigan water

Kitchen water problems we fix
We install under-sink water filters and reverse osmosis systems in Lisle kitchens — a dedicated filtered-water faucet, a certified system matched to your water and a drain connection done right.
Buying bottled water
Stop hauling water bottles — a filtered faucet gives you clean water on demand.
Don't want to drill the counter
If you'd rather not drill stone, we choose a system that works with your existing faucet.
Pitcher filter is too slow
Waiting for a pitcher to refill gets old. An under-sink system delivers filtered water as fast as you need it.
PFAS and other contaminants
For PFAS and other emerging contaminants, we install systems with the matching NSF/ANSI certification.
Refrigerator filter not enough
Fridge filters are small and often expensive. An under-sink system can feed both your sink tap and your fridge.
Cloudy ice and spotted glasses
White film on glasses and cloudy ice come from dissolved minerals; reverse osmosis takes most of them out.
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.
Included with the install
- System selectionCarbon, catalytic carbon or reverse osmosis — matched to taste, lead or PFAS concerns.
- Dedicated faucetA filtered-water faucet installed through an existing hole or a new hole in the counter.
- 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.
- Filter change planWe set up a replacement schedule for cartridges and membranes.
- Whole-house optionsIf testing shows hardness or sediment, we can add a whole-house filter or softener alongside the kitchen system.
Options to choose from
Remineralization stageAn optional final stage that improves the taste of RO water.
NSF/ANSI certifications42 for taste and chlorine, 53 for health contaminants like lead, 58 for RO, 401 for emerging contaminants.
Under-sink carbon filterA one- or two-stage carbon system for great-tasting water.
Tankless ROFaster flow, no tank and more room under the sink.

On site this meant dedicated faucet, under-sink installation, plus drain connection for RO.

Under-Sink Water Filtration questions from Lisle homeowners
Is Lake Michigan water already safe?
Your utility treats the water to federal standards. Filtering at the sink addresses taste and anything picked up in your home's pipes.
Whole-house filter or under-sink?
It depends on the problem: taste and contaminants — under-sink; scale and sediment — whole-house.
Can you drill a faucet hole in my quartz or granite?
Yes. A diamond core bit cuts a clean hole in stone, or we reuse a sprayer, soap dispenser or air-gap hole.
Do I need a plumber to install an under-sink filter?
For a basic filter, maybe not. For RO with a drain and a dedicated faucet, we recommend a professional install.
Does RO waste water?
Every RO system rinses its membrane to the drain. Current high-efficiency units send far less water down the drain than older designs.
Lisle building permit for kitchen water filtration: where do I apply?
Permits go through Development Services Department, phone 630-271-4150. When your scope needs one, we prepare the application and schedule the inspections.
Does Lisle have lead service lines?
Village completed an IEPA service line material inventory and a lead service line plan; interactive map of known service line materials is online. A filter certified for lead reduction is a sensible step until your line is confirmed or replaced.
Can you do kitchen water filtration in a Lisle condo?
Associations usually set rules for work hours, elevators, deliveries and insurance, and many require approval for plumbing, electrical or structural changes. We provide the certificate of insurance and follow the building's rules.
Is Lisle water hard, and does it matter for kitchen water filtration?
Lisle's water source: Lake Michigan water purchased from the DuPage Water Commission (Oakview and nearby unincorporated areas are served by Illinois American Water). That decides which filter stages make sense.
Do you work in my part of Lisle?
Yes. Our crews work across Lisle, including Oakview, The Meadows, Four Lakes Village — ZIP 60532 — and nearby Downers Grove, Woodridge, Wheaton.
