Lead Removal Water Purification in Chicago

Lead comes from the pipes, not the lake. We remove it at your kitchen tap.

In Chicago, more than 400,000 lead service lines connect city mains to homes. Lead removal at the tap protects the water you drink.

We provide lead removal for Chicago homes, condos, and two-flats. Every job starts with a free lead test at your address.

If your water needs it, we install the PEL75 reverse osmosis system under your kitchen sink. As a local water purification company, we also service it for you.

What Lead Removal at the Tap Does for Your Home

Stops Lead at the Glass

Our RO systems remove up to 98% of dissolved lead. You drink and cook with water from a dedicated filtered tap.

Covers Old Building Plumbing

Lead-soldered joints and galvanized pipes can add metals inside the building. A filter at the tap treats water after every pipe.

Test Results You Can See

We test your water on-site and show you the numbers. If your water tests clean, we tell you.

Works While You Wait for Line Replacement

Replacing every lead line in the city will take many years. A filter at your tap protects your family in the meantime.

How Lead Removal in Chicago Works

A Free Lead Test at Your Tap Comes First

Lead dissolves into water from old pipes, especially after pressure changes or nearby street work. Lead removal in Chicago works in five steps:

We test your tap water for lead, TDS, pH, and chlorine.
You see the results on-site, and we explain each number.
We install the PEL75 under your kitchen sink with a dedicated tap.
Carbon stages reduce chlorine, and the RO membrane removes up to 98% of dissolved lead.
We test the output water and compare it with your first result.

Learn how each stage works on our 9-stage reverse osmosis page.

Lead Removal for Older Homes and Two-Flats

Pre-war two-flats and greystones in Pilsen and Bridgeport often have lead service lines. Many also have lead-soldered or galvanized plumbing inside.

Copper pipes inside the home do not remove the risk if the service line is lead. Our under-sink system fits kitchen cabinets in vintage apartments.

Protection for Families With Young Children

Young children and pregnant women are most at risk from lead. A filtered tap gives your family safer water every day.

Use the filtered tap for drinking, baby formula, and cooking. We test it at every visit so you know it still works.

Pair Lead Removal With Whole-House Filtration

Your kitchen tap system treats the water you drink. For showers, laundry, and appliances, we add whole-house filtration at the main line.

The whole-house stage also catches sediment before it reaches the RO membrane.

Lead enters from the pipes. Lead removal at your tap stops it before your glass.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Pro Eco performed water testing and a well-water bacteria disinfection service at my home. They clearly explained what to expect throughout the process and were very communicative from start to finish. Their team was knowledgeable about water systems and to answer my questions. I had a very positive experience with this company. I will be calling them next year for another service.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been using ProEcoLife for at least 14 years. Back when we were still living in Des Plaines, we installed our first RO Water Filtration system with Karol Dołęga. We used this water for many years, and later when we moved to Mount Prospect, Pro Eco Life uninstalled, stored, and installed the system in our new home.
This is a company you can truly rely on. They remember on their own when the filters need to be replaced. They haven't disappeared from the market after all these years, and most importantly, they have truly great water.
People who come to our home ask where we get such good water. ProEcoLife water flows from every faucet, filtered through a Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration system designed and installed by ProEcoLife. That system produces water that is, first and foremost, healthy.
LOVE IT!
Recommended from the bottom of my heart to everybody!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. At Anchor Express Inc., we used to spend thousands of dollars every year on bottled drinking water for our office. Aside from the cost, we were increasingly concerned about the amount of plastic waste and the potential health concerns associated with storing and consuming water from plastic bottles.

PRO ECO LIFE came in, analyzed our needs, and installed a commercial drinking water filtration system for our office. The difference has been outstanding. We now have a constant supply of clean, great-tasting drinking water for our employees without the need to purchase, store, or dispose of bottled water.

What we appreciate most is their ongoing service. Every six months, their team returns to replace filters, inspect the system, and perform preventative maintenance, ensuring everything continues to operate at peak performance.

The investment has been worth every penny. Not only are we saving money, but we have eliminated our dependence on bottled water and significantly reduced our plastic consumption. Our employees enjoy high-quality filtered water every day, and we have peace of mind knowing the system is professionally maintained.

PRO ECO LIFE has been knowledgeable, professional, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend them to any business or homeowner looking for a long-term water quality solution.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been a customer of PROECOLIFE for over 7 years, and I can honestly say they are one of the best service companies I have ever worked with.

My home is supplied by a private well with extremely challenging water conditions. The raw water contained high iron levels, arsenic, heavy metals, dissolved solids, and other contaminants. Drinking the water directly from the well was simply not an option.

The team at PROECOLIFE thoroughly analyzed my water and designed a complete treatment system tailored specifically to my property. They installed a comprehensive solution including sediment filtration, arsenic removal, iron removal, water softening, whole-house reverse osmosis, UV sterilization, pH correction, a booster pump system, and a dedicated drinking water RO system in the kitchen.

The results have been nothing short of incredible. After installation, I had my water independently tested by a private laboratory. The lab technicians told me they rarely see drinking water this clean and this pure. My whole-house RO system consistently produces approximately 4 ppm TDS water, while my kitchen drinking water system produces approximately 1–2 ppm TDS water. The quality is outstanding.

What truly separates PROECOLIFE from other companies is their customer service. Karol, Maciej, and Konrad are top-quality professionals who genuinely care about their customers and take pride in their work. Mrs. Sylwia in customer service is always professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with.

Over the last seven years, whenever there was an issue or downtime, PROECOLIFE responded immediately. In many cases, they had a technician at my house within 30 minutes to diagnose and resolve the problem. That level of support is almost unheard of today.

Thanks to PROECOLIFE, my family has clean, safe, healthy drinking water every day. Their technical knowledge, professionalism, responsiveness, and commitment to customer satisfaction are second to none.

I would recommend PROECOLIFE without hesitation to anyone looking for water treatment, filtration, reverse osmosis, arsenic removal, or well water solutions.

Thank you to the entire PROECOLIFE team for your outstanding work and continued support over the years!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Zainwestowałem w system ProEcoLife (filtr na cały dom + RO w kuchni) i jestem w 100% zadowolony. Woda smakuje świetnie, a instalacja działa bez zarzutu. Chciałbym jednak szczególnie wyróżnić obsługę klienta. W trakcie codziennego użytkowania, gdy tylko potrzebowałem wsparcia, szybkiej porady lub miałem jakiekolwiek pytania techniczne, firma stawała na wysokości zadania. Pełen profesjonalizm i dbałość o klienta na każdym etapie. Gorąco polecam!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just swapped out our old water filter for the PEL75. It actually makes a noticeable difference in how our tap water tastes, and it’s great for brewing coffee or tea without that weird chlorine aftertaste. Professionally installed, very friendly and knowledgeable service. Definitely recommend & worth it.

Lead Removal FAQs for Chicago Homeowners

Does reverse osmosis remove lead from Chicago tap water?

Yes, reverse osmosis is one of the best ways to remove lead at the tap. Our RO systems remove up to 98% of dissolved lead.

How do I know if my home has lead in its water?

The only way to know is to test it. We test your tap water for free at your Chicago address and show you the results on-site.

How can I find out if my home has a lead service line?

The Lead Safe Chicago program shares service line information for city homes. Older homes and pre-war two-flats are the most likely to have one.

Is lead a problem if my home has copper pipes?

It can be. If the service line from the street is lead, copper pipes inside the home do not remove the risk.

Who is most at risk from lead in drinking water?

Young children and pregnant women are most at risk. Use the filtered tap for drinking, baby formula, and cooking.

Does lead removal also take out chlorine?

Yes, carbon block stages reduce chlorine before the RO membrane. That also improves taste and odor.

How long does lead removal installation take?

A typical under-sink installation is done in a single visit. That includes the dedicated tap and an output test.

Do I need lead removal if Chicago is replacing lead lines?

Yes, until your line is replaced and your water tests clean. Lead can also come from solder and older fixtures inside the home.

How often should I retest my water for lead?

We test the output water at every service visit. You can compare each result with your first test.

Can renters get lead removal at the tap?

Often, yes. The system installs inside your kitchen cabinet without changes to shared building plumbing.
