About Us

Washington, DC gets its water from the Potomac River, treated by the Washington Aqueduct and distributed by DC Water, which uses chloramine as its disinfectant. That matters for whole house water filtration in Washington, DC: catalytic carbon is the right media, not standard carbon. DC also has a long history with lead service lines, and the city has an active program to replace them. Many rowhouses still have older plumbing inside the walls. Clear Drop Filtration installs chloramine-rated carbon tanks, and where lead is a concern we add a certified lead stage or a kitchen under-sink unit.
