Comprehensive Water Treatment and Filtration Services for Your Home

Our water treatment and filtration solutions address Ann Arbor’s unique water quality issues, like the presence of fluoride, chlorine and chloramines, helping safeguard your pipes and protecting your family’s health. We provide these solutions:

Activated carbon filtration: These filters use activated carbon or carbon block media to trap contaminants. By drawing in and holding onto impurities like a magnet, these carbon-based systems help reduce chlorine taste and smell, iodine, turbidity, and select metals from the water.

Water softener systems: Calcium and magnesium minerals in hard water create crusty deposits inside pipes, reduce equipment efficiency and contribute to dry skin. Kinetico^® water softener technology uses resin-based ion exchange to capture these minerals before they contribute to buildup. The twin-tank, demand-operated design works without electricity, delivering treated water while regenerating only when needed.

Reverse osmosis systems: The Kinetico^® K5 reverse osmosis system uses membrane technology to reduce contaminants at microscopic levels, helping address unwanted substances. This includes emerging concerns like per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), such as perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), along with other contaminants like lead and arsenic.

Whole-house filtration: These systems address sediment, iron, sulfur and bacteria before distribution, helping protect outlets and appliances throughout your home.

UV disinfection systems: Ultraviolet (UV) light technology helps neutralize microorganisms in well supplies without chemicals, maintaining your water's natural mineral profile while helping reduce biological hazards.

I had an issue with my water system and Ronnie helped me walk through it over the phone!! He is the most reliable techs in any business that responds quickly and is more than helpful!

The sales process was easy and low pressure. My concerns and requests were listened to. Scheduling installation was easy and I didn't have to wait for an installation date. It didn't take long to install, set up and test the system. Brandon, the installer was prompt, courteous and very friendly. His workmanship looks great.

Michael was very friendly helpful answers all my questions. He did a great job.

We had the pleasure of meeting with Abraham Rukab who, very eloquently in a straight forward manner, explained the science behind the water treatment process. He was able to address any concerns or questions we had without a high pressure sales pitch. As a consumer I appreciate that. I understand things cost money, but it’s frustrating when people try to sell you what you don’t need to make a buck. Building a trusted relationship is how a customer base is built. I truly feel like that is what we got…no BS. In this day and age it’s refreshing to have a personal connection. I can’t speak for the Kinetico system as of yet, but I am certainly encouraged.

very professional, honest and kind.

Very respectable and knowledgeable. Liz had answers for all of our questions, and was willing to explain how things work. We received the free water testing. She showed us how to backwash our softener system, and we are replacing the iron filtration in a few days. Looking foward to having her out again! Highly recommend Liz! Aidon came and installed our iron filtration system, did some minor work on our reverse osmosis system and got us all taken care of. Very kind and courteous, highly recommend.

Frequently Asked Questions

Explore answers to common questions about water treatment and filtration services in Ann Arbor.

How long does water softener installation take?

Setting up a residential unit typically requires three to five hours. Our skilled team will evaluate your current system, set the equipment in place, hook up the necessary lines and configure the settings to match your family’s daily requirements.

How often should I have my water tested?

We suggest scheduling a water test once a year, especially if your home uses a well. Water conditions frequently shift due to weather patterns, nearby construction projects or degrading pipes. Our complimentary water analysis can identify potential water quality concerns early so you can address them.

What is the difference between a water filtration system and a water softener?

Softening equipment specifically targets hardness minerals like calcium and magnesium that create scale deposits. Filtration systems address broader contamination, including chlorine, metals and pathogens.
