Contaminants Addressed by Professional Filtration
While Denver water is treated to meet minimum federal standards, many homeowners choose to install Water Filtration Systems to address contaminants that can still affect water quality, taste, and long-term health. Issues like lead and disinfection byproducts often enter the water after it leaves the treatment plant, making in-home filtration the most effective solution. These systems also remove or reduce substances like chloramine that cause unpleasant odors and tastes.
The complexity of Denver’s aging infrastructure means that contaminants are not always visible. Professional-grade filtration is essential for households with infants, children, or pregnant women, as substances like lead and specific disinfection byproducts accumulate in the body and pose serious risks. A licensed plumber can recommend the precise filtration method—from whole-house carbon filters to under-sink Reverse Osmosis units—required to target the specific issues found in your home's water supply.
- Lead from Aging Pipes: Lead leaches into water from old service lines or interior plumbing, especially in homes built before 1951. Filtration systems certified to remove lead are critical for protecting neurological health, particularly in children.
- Chloramine and Disinfection Byproducts (DBPs): Chloramine is used to disinfect Denver water but can cause a chemical taste and odor. It also reacts with organic material to form DBPs like TTHMs and HAAs, which are linked to long-term health risks.
- Arsenic and Chromium 6: While often found at trace levels, Denver water reports have detected these toxic substances, which filtration systems like Reverse Osmosis can effectively reduce to levels far below federal standards.
- Emerging Contaminants: Trace amounts of substances like PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) and microplastics are increasingly detected in water sources, and specialized filtration is the best way to reduce exposure to these unregulated compounds.
- Hard Water Minerals: Although Denver water is moderately soft, some areas still experience mineral buildup that causes white scale on fixtures and shortens the lifespan of water-using appliances, requiring professional softening solutions.

At Blue Sky Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric, we ensure the installation of your Water Filtration System is precise, efficient, and tailored to your Denver home’s specific water quality needs.

We treat your property with respect, working quickly and cleaning up thoroughly once the installation is complete, continuing our legacy of professional, quality work.

- Plumbing Integration and Setup: We expertly connect the filtration system to your plumbing, ensuring secure, leak-free connections and proper drain lines (especially for RO and water softener systems) according to local plumbing codes.
- Testing and Calibration: After installation, we flush the new system, test the treated water quality at the faucet, and ensure all components, valves, and monitoring systems are correctly calibrated for maximum filter efficiency and flow rate.
- User Education and Warranty: We walk you through the system's operation, including maintenance schedules and filter replacement intervals. The installation is backed by our exclusive one-year warranty on parts and labor.

FAQs About Water Filtration Systems in Denver
Why do I need a filter when Denver Water says the water is safe to drink?
While the city meets federal guidelines, many residents choose filtration to address personal concerns. Filters can improve taste by removing chloramine, reduce exposure to unregulated contaminants like PFAS, and, most critically, capture lead that leaches from old pipes before the water reaches your faucet.
Does boiling my water help to remove contaminants like lead?
No, boiling water concentrates contaminants like lead because the water evaporates while the heavy metal remains behind. To effectively reduce lead and other serious chemical contaminants, you must use a professionally installed filtration system certified for that specific removal, such as a Reverse Osmosis unit.
What is the estimated cost range for installing a whole-house filtration system?
The typical cost for a professionally installed whole-house water filtration system, including the unit and labor, ranges from approximately $1,200 to $5,800 in the Denver area. The price depends on the specific filtration technology chosen (e.g., carbon only versus carbon and water softener integration).
What is the best filtration method for removing Denver's most concerning contaminants?
For removing the broadest range of harmful contaminants, including lead, arsenic, TTHMs, and trace PFAS, a point-of-use Reverse Osmosis (RO) system is often considered the gold standard. For improving taste and protecting appliances throughout the home, a whole-house carbon filtration system is typically recommended.

Frequently Asked Plumbing Questions
-
Why is my drain clogged? I’m so careful!
We believe you when you tell us that you are so careful about putting grease down your drains. Unfortunately, most people end up putting it down accidentally no matter how hard they try to do the opposite. When you rinse plates, bowls, pots, and pans in your sink, they often have a thin layer of grease on them. This gets rinsed down the drain with the rest of the debris from your plate. When this grease contacts a cold pipe downstream from the kitchen sink, it solidifies and attaches to the pipe wall. Over the years, even the smallest amounts of grease can build up and cause clogs. Don’t worry, though! Your Blue Sky plumber will get that clog out fast!
-
What kind of sink should I get?
When it comes to getting a new sink, you have many options. These include:
- Cast iron
- Stainless steel
- Corian
- Fiberglass
- Enameled steel
- Acrylic
- And more!
When our experts help you install a sink, we’ll ask you what you plan to do with it. Will you wash dishes in it regularly? Is it likely you will drop dishes or silverware in it? Then, we’ll ask you about your preferences. Do you want a large sink or a small one? Do you want a sink that sits on top of the counter or below the counter level? Once we know the answers to these questions, we’ll work with you to find the perfect kind of sink for your home. In general, cast iron and stainless steel are more durable than some other types of sinks, but they may require special care.
-
What kind of water heater should I get?
Most of the time, the type of water heater you get will be determined by the type of connections you already have. Unless you are highly motivated to change the type of water heater that you have, the best choice is usually to get the same kind that was installed before. If you are in a place to change the type of water heater that you have, gas is often the better option. It is cheaper and can heat larger quantities of water faster. However, gas water heaters are usually larger than electric ones and you cannot store flammable liquids nearby.

What is hydro jetting?
Hydro jetting offers a way to clean your drains without digging up your yard or pulling your home apart to access clogged pipes. Instead, we use a tool that sprays highly-pressurized water into your pipes. We control the pressure of the water and where it sprays, so we can remove your clog and clean your entire pipe. A hydrojetting tool has one nozzle that sprays forward and 6-8 that sprays backward. On the first pass, the reverse-facing jets propel the nozzle forward while the front one breaks up clogs. When we pull the nozzle back through the pipe, the reverse jets scour the edges of the pipe until they look like new. If your plumber thinks that hydrojetting is a good option for you, we’ll let you know and get the job done fast.
-
What is the best kind of pipe for my home?
Most of the time, we suggest plastic or PEX/PVC piping for your home. This material lasts for a long time because it doesn’t rust and is less likely to crack or break than some other types of pipe. Unless you are in a very specific situation, which our plumbers will discover, we highly recommend this type of piping for your home.
-
How do I know if my toilet is leaking?
Toilet leaks are more common than you might think. This can make your water bill sky-high and leave you wondering what is going on. Here are a few signs that your toilet is leaking:
- You frequently have to jiggle the handle to make the toilet stop running.
- You have to hold down the handle when to flush to get the tank to empty.
- Water runs over the top of the overflow pipe.
- You hear sounds of water running in the toilet when it is not being used.
- Water runs down the sides of the toilet bowl long after the toilet was last used.
- You hear the toilet tank refilling even though it hasn’t been emptied recently.
-
What can I put down my garbage disposal?
As long as you use enough water, you can put almost any non-fibrous food down your garbage disposal. This includes bones up to ½” in diameter, coffee grounds, eggs and egg shells, orange rinds, apples, and potato peelings. Most problems occur when you don’t use enough water and don’t allow the water to run for at least 10 seconds after the food disappears.
