If your water looks, smells or tastes off, filtration may be the answer. Here are the signs to look for.
| Job | Typical time |
|---|---|
| Water test | A few minutes on siteBacteria tests may take a couple of days at a lab. |
| Point of use filter | Often 1 to 2 hoursUnder a sink or on a fridge line. |
| Whole home system | Usually 3 to 5 hoursInstalled where the water enters the house. |
| Filter change | Every 3 to 12 monthsDepends on the filter type and water use. |
Filtration cost depends on whether you need a whole home system or a filter at one tap, and on what we are removing from the water. We give you an estimate after we know your test results.
| Factor | How it affects the price |
|---|---|
| Whole home or point of use | A whole home system costs more than a single tap filter. |
| What is in the water | Iron, sediment and bacteria call for different equipment. |
| Flow rate | Larger households need systems that keep up with demand. |
| Pairing with a softener | Combining systems adds equipment and install time. |
| Filter upkeep | Replacement filters are an ongoing cost. |
We test your water to find what is actually in it, so the system matches the problem.
We explain whole home and point of use options, and whether a softener should go with the filter.
Our crew installs the system and confirms it is working properly before we leave.
We can set up a maintenance schedule so filters are changed on time and the system keeps working.

Many homes around Cedar Springs, Sparta and Byron Center draw water from private wells. Wells are not monitored by a utility, so sediment, iron and bacteria are the owner's concern. Filtration, and sometimes UV treatment, is the main defense.
City water is treated and tested, but chlorine, chloramine and old plumbing can still affect taste, smell and staining at the tap. A point of use filter or a whole home system can deal with that.
A whole home filter removes sediment, chlorine, chloramine, iron and manganese, depending on the filter type. It treats water as it enters the house, so every tap gets filtered water. A water test shows what your system needs to remove.
Often, yes. Well water can carry sediment, iron and bacteria, and no utility monitors it. Filtration, sometimes paired with UV treatment, is the main defense. We recommend testing first, so you buy equipment that fits your actual water. A filter is only part of the picture, so we test first and then recommend only what the results justify.
Eyk Plumbing installs and services water filtration systems in homes across Grand Rapids, Rockford, Cedar Springs and the surrounding towns. We test your water, recommend a system and install it, so you deal with one plumber from test to finish.
A softener removes the minerals behind hard water, such as calcium and magnesium. A filter removes sediment, chlorine and iron. Many homes on well water benefit from both. A water test tells you which problems you actually have. If you are not sure which you need, test first, because the results make the choice simple.
A water test is the only reliable way to know. We can test your water and walk you through the results before recommending any system. Well water owners should test at least once a year. Do not guess from taste or color alone, because many problems cannot be seen or tasted.
Most filters need changing every 3 to 12 months, depending on the filter type and how much water you use. We explain the schedule for your system when we install it, so you know when to expect a change. Write the install date on the housing so you know when the next change is due.
A whole home system filters water where it enters the house, so every tap gets filtered water. A point of use system filters at one fixture, usually the kitchen tap or the fridge line. Point of use costs less if drinking water is your main concern.
Yes. Filtration is often the first line of defense against sediment, iron and bacteria in well water. For bacteria, a UV treatment system can be added to the filter. Testing first shows which of these apply to your well. Treatment for iron or bacteria may need more than a basic filter, so we test before choosing.
