Kitchen water problems we fix
An under-sink filter in Roselle gives you clean drinking and cooking water straight from a dedicated faucet. We match the system to your water source and pipes and install it in one visit.
Lead service line not yet replaced
While Roselle replaces lead service lines, we install lead-certified filtration for drinking and cooking water.
Refrigerator filter not enough
We can connect the filter to your fridge's ice maker and water dispenser too.
Worried about lead
Lead usually comes from pipes and fittings, not the treatment plant. A system certified to NSF/ANSI 53 or 58 for lead reduction protects the water you drink.
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.
Chlorine taste and smell
A pool-like smell from the tap is the disinfectant your utility adds. Carbon filtration under the sink takes it out of the water you drink and cook with.
Buying bottled water
If the recycling bin is full of plastic bottles, a dedicated filtered faucet pays for itself and frees up the pantry.
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.
What we hook up and check
- Water checkA look at your water source and plumbing so the system matches what is actually in your water.
- Dedicated faucetWe use the sprayer or soap hole or drill a new faucet hole, including in stone.
- 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 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
Tankless ROCompact RO systems without a storage tank — they fit tight sink cabinets.
Remineralization stageAdds back minerals after RO for a better taste.
Reverse osmosisThe most thorough filtration; includes a membrane, storage tank or tankless pump.
NSF/ANSI certificationsCheck the certification against what you want removed — not just the marketing claim.

DetailA Roselle 1980s two-story: before and after
This one is a 1980s two-story in Roselle. The kitchen as it was: solid-surface integrated sink. The reason for the call: tap water that didn't taste right. Finished kitchen: a stainless steel filtered-water faucet next to the main faucet and a single large carbon filter canister mounted on the cabinet wall under the sink. On site this meant dedicated faucet, refrigerator line, plus whole-house options.

Under-Sink Water Filtration questions from Roselle 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.
How do I find out if I have a lead service line?
Look up your address in the utility's service line inventory or check the pipe at your water meter; we can help you read it.
Reverse osmosis or carbon filter?
If taste is the issue, carbon. For the broadest protection, RO.
How often do filters need changing?
Carbon cartridges usually every 6–12 months; RO membranes every 2–3 years, depending on use and water.
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.
Roselle building permit for kitchen water filtration: where do I apply?
Permits go through Development & Engineering Services (Building & Zoning), phone 630-671-2821. When your scope needs one, we prepare the application and schedule the inspections.
Do I need a Roselle-registered contractor for kitchen water filtration?
Contractors must register with the Village via Cloudpermit and be licensed: surety bond, certificate of insurance naming the Village, $75 fee. We take care of that before work starts.
Roselle plumbing code: who can do the plumbing for kitchen water filtration?
Plumbers provide a State plumber's license in place of the $75 Village fee; bond and insurance still required. Our plumbing connections are made by licensed plumbers.
Roselle water: how does it affect kitchen water filtration?
Roselle's water source: Lake Michigan water via City of Chicago and DuPage Water Commission. That decides which filter stages make sense.
Does Roselle have lead service lines?
Village completed service line inventory; 108 suspected lead lines remain (April 2026). A filter certified for lead reduction is a sensible step until your line is confirmed or replaced.
Do I need a permit for kitchen water filtration in Roselle?
It depends on the scope. Roselle's rule in short: Permit required for projects including bathroom and kitchen remodeling, electrical and plumbing work; also water heater, roof, HVAC. We handle the permit when one is needed with Development & Engineering Services (Building & Zoning).
