Whether you want cleaner drinking water at the kitchen tap or whole-house filtration to protect appliances and fixtures — Downing Plumbing installs water filtration systems throughout Lake, Porter, and LaPorte County.
WATER FILTRATION
Northwest Indiana's water comes from two primary sources: Lake Michigan surface water (treated by the Hammond Water Utility, Indiana American Water, and others) and groundwater wells. Both can have quality concerns. Lake Michigan water is treated with chlorine and chloramines — effective disinfection that can affect taste and smell. Groundwater in the region can be high in iron, manganese, and hardness minerals depending on local geology. Homes with older plumbing may also see lead or copper from pipe corrosion entering the water at the tap.
Water filtration addresses these concerns at different points in the system. A whole-house sediment filter installed at the point of entry protects appliances and water heaters from particulates. A whole-house carbon filter reduces chlorine taste and odor throughout. Under-sink reverse osmosis systems provide the highest level of drinking water purification — removing dissolved solids, heavy metals, nitrates, and other contaminants to produce near-pure drinking water at the kitchen tap.
Downing Plumbing installs the filtration system that matches your actual water quality concerns — not necessarily the most expensive one. If you're unsure what your water contains, a basic water quality test is a good starting point before selecting a filtration approach.

HOW IT WORKS
The right system for your water — installed correctly and ready to use the same day.
We discuss your specific water quality concerns — taste, odor, sediment, iron, or drinking water purity — to recommend a filtration approach that actually addresses them.
We help you choose between point-of-entry (whole-house) and point-of-use (under-sink) systems, or a combination, based on your goals and budget.
We tap into the supply line at the correct location, install housings, filter cartridges, and bypass valves, and make any drain connections required by the system type.
We flush the system per manufacturer specs, test for proper flow and pressure, and walk you through cartridge replacement intervals and filter maintenance.
