What is in the water
Our water filtration coverage in District of Columbia runs to 277 ZIP codes in 4 cities.

What this site is
ClearTapCall is a referral service, not a contractor and not a laboratory. We connect homeowners with independent contractors for filtration and treatment installation. Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands, and treatment equipment plumbed into a supply is often a permitted alteration — ask to see the permit. We carry out no work, we sell no equipment, we test no water, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything. Nothing here is a statement about the water at any address, and no page recommends a product.Checking a credential in District of Columbia

How a water filtration job goes
Filtration is chosen from a test result, not from a taste. Hardness, iron, sediment and chlorine each call for different equipment, and a cartridge sized for one does nothing for the others. The order is always the same: find out what is in the water, then decide what has to come out of it, then size the equipment for how much water the house actually uses.
What the call asks about water filtration
- Whether the supply is a public system or a private well, because the testing route is different.
- What the water is actually doing — staining, scale, smell, taste, cloudiness.
- Whether there is a test result already, from the annual report or from a lab.

Before you call
