Here is your system: whole-home catalytic carbon for the chloramine at every tap, plus reverse osmosis at the kitchen sink for the water you drink, cook with, and freeze. It is the setup we put in most homes on this water, and it earns its keep every single day.


Your water arrives with chloramine in it. That is the disinfectant City of Hammond uses, and it is what people taste in coffee, in ice, and in the first glass of the day. Chloramine does not gas off in a pitcher the way chlorine does, so catalytic carbon is the piece that takes it out, at every tap in the house.
The water here is groundwater, pumped from the aquifer under your feet.
Tell us your address and we pull the report for the system that actually serves it, then put the recommendation and the price in writing before any work starts. A licensed plumber does the install.
