Water Filtration Systems in Council Bluffs & Omaha

If your water tastes off, smells like chlorine, or leaves grit in the bottom of a glass, it can make everyday stuff annoying—drinking water, cooking, even showering. And depending on what’s in the water, it can also mean more buildup on fixtures and wear on appliances over time.

McIntosh Plumbing installs and services water filtration systems throughout Council Bluffs, Omaha, and the surrounding metro. We’ll listen to what you’re noticing, help narrow down what’s causing it, and recommend a setup that fits your home—whether that’s whole-home filtration, point-of-use filtration, or something more targeted for taste, odor, or sediment.

From install to maintenance, our goal is simple: cleaner water, less hassle, and a system that works the way it should. We’ll explain your options clearly and do the job right—so you can enjoy better water at the tap without overcomplicating it.

• Removes chlorine, sediment, and chemical contaminants

Water filtration systems are designed to reduce or eliminate chlorine, sediment, and various chemical impurities commonly found in tap water. This results in cleaner water while also reducing buildup that can damage plumbing and appliances over time.

• Improves water taste and smell

By filtering out chlorine and other odor-causing substances, a filtration system delivers noticeably better-tasting and fresher-smelling water. Many homeowners experience an immediate improvement in water quality at every faucet.

• Extends the life of appliances and fixtures

Sediment and chemical contaminants can cause premature wear on water heaters, dishwashers, washing machines, and plumbing fixtures. Filtration helps protect these systems, improving efficiency and reducing the need for repairs or early replacement.

• Provides healthier water for cooking and drinking

Cleaner water means safer, higher-quality water for drinking, cooking, and food preparation. A filtration system helps reduce exposure to unwanted contaminants, supporting healthier daily water use for your entire household.

• Whole-home water filtration system installation

We install whole-home water filtration systems that treat water at the point of entry, delivering filtered water to every faucet and appliance in your home. These systems are designed to address sediment, chlorine, and other contaminants while protecting your plumbing system and fixtures.

• Under-sink and point-of-use filter setups

For targeted filtration, we install under-sink and point-of-use filters that provide high-quality water where you need it most — such as kitchen sinks or beverage stations. These systems are ideal for improving drinking and cooking water without filtering the entire home.

• Filter cartridge replacement and maintenance

Routine filter replacement is essential to maintain performance and water quality. We provide scheduled maintenance and cartridge replacements to ensure your filtration system continues operating efficiently and effectively.

• Integration with softeners and RO systems

We integrate filtration systems with existing water softeners and reverse osmosis (RO) systems to create a comprehensive water treatment solution. This layered approach improves system performance, extends equipment life, and delivers superior water quality throughout the home.

Do I need a whole-home system or under-sink filter?

It depends on your water quality and goals. Whole-home systems treat all water entering your house, while under-sink filters are ideal for specific faucets.

How often should filters be replaced?

Most filters require replacement every 6–12 months, depending on usage and water quality. We offer maintenance service to keep your system running efficiently.

Can a filtration system work with my water softener?

Yes. Filtration systems can be integrated with softeners and reverse osmosis systems for complete water treatment.
