Water Filtration Systems
Residential & Commercial
Cleaner, Healthier Water
At WJ McNabb Plumbing, we’ve seen firsthand how water quality affects Pittsburgh homes. Lead, chlorine, and other harmful substances don’t belong in your family’s drinking water. That’s why we install top-quality water filtration systems that protect your whole house – from kitchen sinks to bathroom faucets.
Long-term Cost Benefits
40+ Years Experience
Pittsburgh families spend thousands each year on bottled water, trying to keep their families safe from tap water problems. The truth is simple – your home needs clean, safe water from every faucet.
Our water filtration systems do more than just improve taste. They shield your plumbing and appliances from damage while removing dangerous contaminants that could harm your family’s health. No more storing cases of bottled water or worrying about what’s coming from your tap.
Let us show you how 40+ years of Pittsburgh plumbing experience makes the difference in your home’s water quality. Our expert team will help you choose and install the perfect filtration system for your family’s needs.
Pittsburgh Water Quality – What Every Family Should Know
Let us do a Water Testing? Call us (412) 388-2512 !
The Hard Truth About Our Water
Recent testing tells a concerning story about Pittsburgh’s water. The Environmental Working Group found serious problems:
-
- Chromium-6 levels 27 times higher than safety guidelines
- Trihalomethanes exceeding recommendations by 361 times
- Nitrate levels 4.4 times above safe thresholds
- Haloacetic acids at 164 times recommended limits
The health risks worry us most. Lead exposure damages nervous systems, with children and pregnant women facing the highest risks. While PWSA has made progress, bringing lead levels to a 20-year low at under 4 parts per billion, we believe any amount of lead is too much when it comes to your family’s water.
Your Premier Pittsburgh Plumber knows our city’s water challenges inside and out. After four decades of serving Pittsburgh homes, we’ve watched our aging infrastructure struggle to keep up with modern water quality demands. With over 500,000 Pittsburgh residents depending on PWSA’s(this does NOT include other area water authorities!) water supply, clean water isn’t just a luxury – it’s essential for every family.
PWSA started monitoring PFAS substances in 2018, showing they’re working to address these issues. But your family needs solutions today, not tomorrow.

Water Filtration Systems - Making the Right Choice
At WJ McNabb Plumbing, we’ve installed thousands of water filtration systems across Pittsburgh homes. Here’s what four decades of experience tells us about choosing the right system for your family.
Whole House Protection vs Single Tap Solutions
Your home deserves clean water from every tap. Whole-house systems give you that peace of mind, filtering water right AFTER it enters your home. These systems protect everything from your morning shower to your washing machine.
Need something simpler? Point-of-use systems focus on single spots like your kitchen sink. They’re perfect for drinking water.
Pittsburgh’s Most Trusted Filtration Options
We’ve tested every filtration method out there. Here’s what works best in Pittsburgh homes:
-
- Carbon filters: Knock out chlorine, pesticides, and heavy metals
- Reverse osmosis: Catches 97% of bad stuff, including lead and arsenic
- UV systems: Kills bacteria and viruses (FOR WELL SYSTEMS)
- Ion exchange: Softens hard Pittsburgh water
What You’ll Save
Good water saves money. Our Pittsburgh families see longer-lasting appliances, lower water bills, and zero bottled water costs. Professional installation is – money well spent for years of clean water.
