What's in Your Water

Peoria's Water Has a Problem.
A Documented One.

Your water technically passes EPA legal minimums. But legally compliant is not the same as actually safe. Here's what the data actually shows about Peoria-area water.

2025 Warning Lead Contamination

Lead in Your Water Supply

Illinois American Water issued a formal lead contamination warning to Peoria District customers in 2025 after elevated lead levels were detected in multiple samples. There is no safe level of lead — especially for children under 6 and pregnant women.

73 Violations East Peoria on Record

14 Contaminants Above Guidelines

East Peoria's water system carries 73 EPA violations on record with 14 separate contaminants testing above health-based guidelines. That's not a scare tactic — those are the utility's own reported numbers on file with the EPA.

PFAS Detected Forever Chemicals

PFAS "Forever Chemicals"

PFAS contamination has been documented in multiple Illinois water systems including the Peoria area. These synthetic chemicals don't break down in the environment or your body — they accumulate over a lifetime of exposure and have been linked to cancer, thyroid issues, and immune suppression.

22.4 GPG Very Hard Water

Hardness That Destroys Appliances

Peoria's 22.4 grains-per-gallon water hardness is rated "Very Hard" and ranks among the worst in Illinois. It destroys water heaters, corrodes pipes, leaves white scale on everything, and significantly shortens appliance life — adding hundreds of dollars a year in replacement costs.

60+ Years Old Infrastructure

60-Year-Old Pipes in Most Homes

The median Peoria home was built in 1966. That means most homes have pipes that are over 60 years old. Old pipes corrode, leach metals, and make every water quality issue worse. The utility's water enters your home relatively clean — then picks up contamination inside your own plumbing before it reaches your tap.

THMs & HAAs Disinfection Byproducts

Chlorine & Disinfection Byproducts

The chlorine added to kill bacteria reacts with organic material in the water to form trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs) — disinfection byproducts linked to increased cancer risk, reproductive effects, and other long-term health issues with regular consumption.

The Gap Between "Legal" and "Safe"

EPA legal limits are set based on what's economically feasible to treat at utility scale — not what's optimal for your health. Peoria's water clears the legal bar while still failing health-based guidelines on 6+ contaminants. Your utility isn't doing anything wrong. But "legal" and "safe for my family" are two very different things. That gap is exactly what we fix.

What Our Customers Say

Homeowners across Peoria, East Peoria, and Tazewell County who got their water tested — and what they found.

"

I had no idea what was actually in my water until they came out and tested it. Seeing the lead reading was honestly shocking. We had the whole-house system installed the following week. My kids drink right from the tap now — that peace of mind is priceless.

"

The scale buildup on everything in my house was out of control. My water heater was only 4 years old and already struggling. Got the combo package with the softener — the difference is night and day. No more scrubbing white deposits off my faucets and shower doors every week.

"

Zero pressure from start to finish. They came out, tested my water, showed me exactly what was in it, and explained the options clearly without any hard sell. I went with the under-sink RO and the water tastes completely different. Just get the free test done — you'll want to know.

Common Questions

Water Filtration FAQ

Is my water really that bad?
Peoria's water is graded D+ overall with 6+ contaminants above EPA health-based guidelines — not just legal limits. Health guidelines are stricter because they're based on what's actually safe, not what's economically feasible to treat. East Peoria has 14 contaminants above guidelines and 73 documented violations. Illinois American Water issued a lead contamination warning to Peoria District customers in 2025. Your water passes the legal test — but that bar was set for cost feasibility, not optimal health. That said, the only way to know exactly what's in YOUR water at YOUR specific tap is an in-home test. That's exactly what we do, for free.
How long does installation take?
An under-sink reverse osmosis system typically takes 2–3 hours. A whole-house filtration system or softener takes a half-day. The Premium Combo package (whole-house + softener + RO) is usually a full day's work. Our plumber handles everything — you don't need to prep anything. Most installs are same-week after you decide to move forward.
Do you offer financing?
Yes — financing options are available on all systems. We'd rather find a way to get your family clean water than have cost be the barrier. Ask us about financing during your free water test appointment and we'll walk through the options with you. Many customers find a monthly payment makes more sense than continuing to buy bottled water or deal with hard water appliance damage.
What maintenance is required?
RO systems need filter replacements every 6–12 months depending on usage (simple DIY swap, takes 10 minutes). Whole-house filters replace every 6–12 months. Softeners need salt added every 4–8 weeks depending on system size and water usage. We'll show you everything during installation and can set up a simple reminder schedule for you. Maintenance is minimal and straightforward.
Does the free water test obligate me to buy anything?
No. The free water test is genuinely free with no obligation whatsoever. We come out, test your water, show you the results, and answer your questions. If you want a system, great — we can quote you on the spot. If you need time to think, or decide you're not interested, we shake hands and leave. No follow-up pressure calls. We earn your business by showing you exactly what's in your water, not by pressuring you.
Will a water softener fix the lead and PFAS problem?
No — a water softener only addresses hardness (calcium and magnesium). It does not remove lead, PFAS, nitrates, or other chemical contaminants. For full protection, you need a filtration system alongside a softener — or a combination unit designed to address both. This is exactly why we test first: so you get the right system matched to your actual water problems, not just a softener that looks good in a sales pitch.
