Now we’re talking about under-sink systems. These are the superheroes of clean water. They hide under your sink, filter out lead, chlorine, and weird smells, and cost $150 to $500 for the unit itself.
Installation can be a DIY project if you’re handy—or a reason to call a plumber. Expect to pay $100 to $250 for professional installation if you’re not into pipe wrenches. No shame in that. I once tried to fix a leaky pipe myself and ended up with a mini indoor waterfall.

For the whole-house filtration system? That’s the big leagues. It treats every drop coming into your home—shower, toilet, garden hose, everything. Prices start around $400 and can climb to $2,500 or more for premium models. Installation adds another $500 to $1,500 because, yes, it involves cutting into your main water line. But imagine never having hard-water spots on your dishes again. Glorious.
