Common Water Quality Issues in Our Area
While our municipal water is treated, it can still have issues by the time it reaches your tap. Old plumbing infrastructure and mineral content can affect your water's taste, smell, and performance in your home.
It is common for residents to notice:
- Hard Water: This is caused by high mineral content (calcium, magnesium). It is not a health risk, but it causes limescale buildup on fixtures, reduces soap lather, and shortens the life of appliances like water heaters.
- Chlorine Taste and Smell: Chlorine is essential for treating water, but it can leave an unpleasant taste and odor. This affects the taste of your coffee, tea, and drinking water.
- Concerns About Contaminants: With an older city infrastructure, many residents worry about lead from old service lines or fixtures. Other concerns can include sediment, rust, or other substances that enter the water.
- Discolored Water: Sediment or rust from aging pipes can cause water to appear cloudy or have a reddish-brown tint, which can stain sinks and laundry.
Understanding these common problems is the first step. A water purification system is designed to target these specific issues, giving you better-tasting and cleaner water right from your tap.

A licensed plumber ensures the system is integrated safely. This includes using the correct fittings, managing water pressure, and ensuring there are no cross-connections that could contaminate your water.
Professional installation also protects your system's warranty. Many manufacturers require installation by a licensed plumber. This ensures your new equipment will function correctly and efficiently for its full lifespan.

FAQs About Water Purification Systems in Pittsburgh
Do I really need a water filter in Pittsburgh?
While Pittsburgh's water is treated, many residents use filters to remove the chlorine taste, reduce hardness, or for added peace of mind regarding older pipes. A filter can greatly improve taste and protect appliances.
What is the difference between a whole-house and an under-sink filter?
An under-sink filter (like reverse osmosis) treats only the water at that one tap. A whole-house filter treats all water as it enters your home, protecting your pipes, fixtures, and appliances from sediment or hard water.
What is hard water?
Hard water contains high levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium. It is common in our area and causes limescale buildup on faucets and in water heaters, making them less efficient.
How long does it take to install a water filter?
An under-sink system can often be installed in 1-2 hours. A whole-house system is more complex and may take 3-5 hours. We provide a 100% free quote and a clear timeline before we start.
