Why Filter Your Water?
While most the North Bay residents rely on municipal water that meets federal standards, that doesn’t always guarantee it’s free of contaminants. Events like wildfires, floods, or treatment plant failures can compromise water quality, leading to boil water notices or temporary exposure to harmful bacteria or chemicals.
In many areas of the North Bay, agricultural runoff is a major concern. Fertilizers, pesticides, and other chemicals used in farming can seep into the water supply, even after treatment. A filtration system can provide a reliable barrier against these lingering contaminants.
Even if your local water source is clean, your home’s plumbing might not be. Corroded or outdated pipes, especially those made from lead or galvanized steel, can release rust, sediment, or heavy metals directly into your water.
Wildfire-related power outages, seismic activity, and other natural events common in the North Bay can interrupt water treatment and distribution. A home filtration system provides peace of mind when external systems fail.
Filtered water isn’t just for drinking, it improves bathing, laundry, and cooking. Removing chlorine, lead, and other impurities protects your skin and hair and reduces health risks linked to long-term exposure to harmful substances.
Professional Water Treatment Maintenance
Routine maintenance is essential to keep your water treatment system performing at its best. Over time, filters can clog, components can wear down, and mineral buildup can reduce system efficiency. At Ongaro & Sons, we offer expert water treatment maintenance services to ensure your system continues delivering clean, safe water throughout your home.
Our skilled technicians will inspect, clean, and service all parts of your filtration or softening system, including replacing filters, checking for leaks, and ensuring proper water pressure and flow. Regular maintenance not only extends the life of your equipment but also helps prevent costly repairs and ensures your water quality stays consistently high.
In the North Bay, where water quality can vary due to seasonal changes, drought conditions, and aging municipal infrastructure, professional upkeep is especially important. Whether you have a whole-house filter, water softener, or reverse osmosis system, Ongaro & Sons will keep it running efficiently and reliably.
Let us help you protect your investment and enjoy cleaner, healthier water year-round. Ask about our convenient Ongaro Maintenance Plans for worry-free service and long-term peace of mind.
Whole-House Water Filter Installation
We can install a whole-house filtering system close to the entry point of the main water line in your home, enabling it to screen out contaminants before they reach your faucets, showerheads, and appliances.
A home water testing kit is a useful tool for identifying contaminants in your water and determining which you want to remove.
At Ongaro & Sons, we offer flexible financing options (subject to approved credit) to maintain your water filtering system and other plumbing equipment.

Choosing a Water Filter System
Our trained pros at Ongaro & Sons can help you decide which filter is best for your home. A carbon filter, for example, can screen out some chemicals, such as chlorine, volatile organic chemicals, and some heavy metals. Block carbon filters can also eliminate some microorganisms like Giardia, which can cause intestinal infections.
Sediment filters rid your water supply of dirt, rust particles, and sand. They often pair with carbon or ultraviolet (UV) filters that kill bacteria, algae, and viruses.
A reverse osmosis system uses high water pressure to push water through a semipermeable membrane that filters some chemicals, minerals, and bacteria. This system is generally installed in the kitchen, where pristine water is needed for consumption and cooking.
We also install water softeners that remove iron, manganese, calcium, and magnesium from your water. These systems can also prevent heavy metals, nitrates, and some radioactive materials from entering your water supply.

Why Ongaro & Sons for Water Filtration
Filtration and softening solve different problems, and buying the wrong one is the usual mistake.
Schedule Service →Specified against a test result
Sediment, taste, odour and hardness need different media. A test tells you which you actually have.
Whole-house and point-of-use weighed separately
Treating every tap is not always the right spend. Sometimes the kitchen tap is the whole requirement.
Flow rate protected
Filtration that drops pressure across the house is the most common complaint afterwards, and it is a sizing decision made at install.
Cartridge and service intervals made clear
You get told the running cost before you commit.
Filter changes you can actually do yourself
Where a homeowner-serviceable cartridge is appropriate we fit one and show you how, rather than designing in a service call.

Read MoreFrequently Asked Questions
Can I install a water filtration system myself?
Basic under-sink units can be DIY, but whole-house systems should be installed by a licensed plumber to ensure proper connections and code compliance.
Can sediment filtration improve water taste and odor?
Sediment filters are primarily for removing visible particles. To improve taste and odor, they’re often paired with activated carbon filters or reverse osmosis systems, which target chlorine and other chemical contaminants.
Is sediment filtration necessary if I already have a water softener or RO system?
Yes. Sediment filters are essential even with a softener or reverse osmosis system. They act as a pre-filter, protecting more sensitive systems from clogging or premature wear caused by particulate matter.
What can a water filtration system remove?
It removes contaminants like chlorine, lead, sediment, and other impurities for better taste, odor, and safety.
